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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
