Hey again guys, i need some help on this topic! It has me hell confused & i just cant seem to get any answers... So was hoping someone here might be able to help so i can get this 32 sorted & off the chart..!

Anyways, i have a 32 here & it has one of these units... Pretty cool stuff, though when i try to get into any Boost settings it wont allow me. As if that feature doesnt exist.. I cant even seem to find the word boost anywhere in the unit & usually with this model you go to 'Calibrations' & its listed under there! Its acting as if it doesnt have the boost controller option as if its the MMD model not the SBC..! So initial i thought it did have the MMD 'I Colour' which is the same unit but without the Boost control function virtually but no, he insisted it WAS an SBC I Colour so i went searching for the SBC Box & CPU for it... Funny thing is i found them both & everything is hooked up like an SBC too!

Now i know with the MMD's it wont show any Boost pages or settings as it doesnt have the SBC Box or CPU so i can understand if it WAS the MMD but as i stated, its has all the SBC equipment & everything is hooked just like the SBC!

Now when i turn the car on & the BLITZ I Colour display fires up it comes up with 'MMD MODE' just as it turns on... So my question is, WTF?? Lol. How can it come on as a MMD when its a SBC I Colour not an MMD I Colour?? Is there anyway someone has changed modes on it or f***ed with it before me? I didnt think you could change modes in these things unless you take out the SBC Box & CPU?? Then hook it up like the MMD requires... So if anyone knows how to change modes or perhaps reset it that would be prime cause im lost on this one & its got me thinking like no other! Cheers guys!!!!!!! Please Help!

Matt

I have had the same problem, I have been over everything, and using another I-color SBC to solve what is wrong. I am fairly sure it’s the small battery inside the hand controller, it’s so the controller doesn’t lose your settings when it’s powered down. It makes sense that Blitz would do this as a safety measure, I just wish they listed it in the manual. Anyway looks like an easy fix two wires, and a very small thin battery, something an electronics store would have. 
the battery is located on the inside of the rear cover, it’s glued onto the cover, so be careful when you take the cover apart, the two wires are very thin. 
So you can be sure it’s not the solenoid and it’s not the SBC ecu or a boost leak.

    • 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.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
