Can you help me please understand a few settings on the Greddy -eo1

Current

1. High boost 'set' value is 60% & running 18.5psi

2. The Gain value is 15

3. My Start Boost value is 10psi

I would like to run about 15psi which i'm guessing will be around the low boost 'set' value of 49 BUT

How do I change from the low option to high boost, is there a shortcut button on the hand controller or do I need to go through the on-screen menu?

I have read that the 'gain' value should be between 3 - 7% of the 'set' value for a better & flatter torque curve is this true? I want the boost to come on strong

should I leave the gain where it currently is?

I have also heard that the Start Boost value determines when the wastegate opens, does this mean I should set it to say 14psi, 1psi before my 'set' value?

I have attached a photo of my current settings.

Thanks for any Help

the greddy ebcs generally have 3 values to adjust. Set, Gain and Set gain. Set is the boost pressure you want to run, as youve mentioned. Gain is how it cycles the solenoid in order to maintain boost and Set gain is at what boost level to begin opperating the solenoid.

If your Set gain is set too high you will spike BUT if its too low it will be harder to reach your target boost.

How I normally tune these things is drop the gain down to its minimum value (i think its 10?) and adjust my Set gain to 1 - 2 psi before my target boost. I then dial in the Set to match this and keep turning the Set up until I reach my target boost.

Boost will probably tail off in the higher RPM so what you need to do then is up the Gain untill it begins to spike, and back it off an increment at a time till it stops spiking. Do it in 4th gear at a high load point that spools fairly quick tho, to get ur spike right.

If you dont end up holding the boost till redline what you can do is use the warning function to drop your boost when you overboost by 1 or 2 psi and run a higher gain to help keep the boost up in the higher rev range.

GL, I hope this was helpful.

thanks mate, that was very helpful. so if my turbo can quite easily hit my desired boost level even @ high rpm it's better to have the gain up for better response and perhaps drope the set level a little for best results?

also mate, do you know if there's a button on the hand controller to change between low and high boost?

and also what is the 'peak hold' setting?

Edited by RBChris

peak hold leaves the highest boost reached on the screen for a few seconds afterwards so you can look after you back off.

usually your set gain or start boost should be around 2-3psi below your target boost, but as said wind it up until it spikes then back it off, same for gain. thats assuming you want it to come on boost as early and hard as possible

Sorry but im not sure about changing between modes on the E01..

yet as for your question there, having the gain up too high will get you inconsistant results. try to make things accurate rather than abit more of this etc.. so get your set to where it needs to be to hit your boost and then only dial in enough gain till it wants to spike and back it off a touch from there.

what you want is a smooth delivery yet obviously as quick as possible. as an example if you have your gain up too high and you hit the boost controls set limiter it will try to cut the boost back down meaning a sudden loss in power which will result in less torque thereafter and less power up top in that gear.

try get it as accurate as you can to the max gain on that set level without ANY spike at all :P lower is always better GL

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
