LOL i am hardly an expert!

Ive only had it on there for bout 2 or 3 weeks and been playing with it tryin to get it somewhere right.

just went and had a look at my settings and atm they are-

set: 40%

gain:27

set gain:6psi

its holding boost pretty well but needs more fine tuning. also been hard cause ive been trying to do it on my own...

My cars mods are just 3" turbo back and a K&N panel so pretty stock...

hope that was of some help to ya! :P

oh also just adding the peak boost with those settings was 10.3psi....not sure of the rpm(bit hard to drive and look at it lol)

Cuz ive got it installed and set by UAS, i didn't really wanna touch it so before i do this how do i check wat the original settings are currently? what do i turn or press on the EBC? :D thanks alot by the way

to check the set just turn the nob but dont press it in...it will display the current setting and go away on its own.

for the gain just press the mode button once, press it twice for set gain, and all the other settings are the warning and limiter and peak boost etc...

let me know what they are set to atm and what kinda boost ur getting...

:P

Set: 45%

Gain: 20%

Set Gain: 8.7psi

Those are the high boost settings which makes around 11 psi boost like 10minutecar and also drops as much as he does (to about 9 psi)...

Do the other settings affect the boost or performance wise at all or are they just extra features such as warning alarm and etc?

Also does the setting you have spike boost at all? And if it does spike the warning alarm will go off right?

I havent even been in my car since yesterday so nah havent tried em out yet. It sucks in the rain i get to much wheelspin in second gear...

With the warning, i have never hit it as ive been conservative with my settings as not to overboost.

But yeah according to the manual the warning light comes on and the unit will lower boost by whatever you set the limiter to.

so at this setting u gave me it reaches 10.3 psi max?

If i wanted to reach about 11 psi with the boost not dropping below 10psi..how would i set the settings? im not too sure how to do this percentage setting thing

what i would do is just turn the knob up a couple of % at a time. dont forget u gotta press the knob in to actually set it.

just dont go upping the gain or set gain too much. It should only be adjusted up like 1 increment at a time....at least once its close to being right anyway

Have you gone for a run with those settings tho??

It probly is.... like i said im still playin around with it and have only had it for a couple of weeks... ill give ur settings a go tomorrow and see what happens.

It was hard for me to tell if it was dropping off much as i couldnt look at the guage as i was driving and was only relying on the peak boost and last boost features on the EBC.

If the boost is dropping off try increasing the gain setting by 1 or 2 increments at a time. just keep an eye on the peak boost. its a good idea to clear it before trying out new settings.

Where abouts are you from?

Yeah the last boost tells ya what it was as u let off the accelerator, not a drop in boost. I really just need to get a mate to come for a drive with me so i can see whats happenin. Like I said before ill try out the settings u mentioned and see what i get with them...

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
