Electronic Boost Controller Setting Help

Have recently installed a Blitz SBC Type S Electronic boost controller into my GT-T. I've blocked the boost sensor line so it will no longer cut but now as I try to increase the boost over 7-8psi (aiming for 12-14psi) I tend to start getting flat spots throughout the rev range. Has anyone had this problem that can help me out?

Cheers in advance.

Not by voltage directly. Voltage is used to calculate TP. TP is the load axis on the fuel & ign maps.

So yes, but no. Same voltage on the AFM at different rpm will calculate a different TP.

my tuner has talked about increasing the resolution of my map, i figure its something to do with this calculation....does that sound right?

No. You can arbitrarily set the value (TP or rpm) of any column or row. So, if the max TP that you load up to is, say, 100, but your map has columns up to 160, then you could rescale all the columns so the last one was maybe 110, giving you more resolution. Alternatively, and more commonly, your last column might be 160, but because you've wound up the boost you are working up to loads of 180 or so. Then you might rescale to stretch it out. That would be the opposite of giving it "more resolution" but might be what your tuner meant. It means that you can explicitly tune for the loads you are actually running, instead of running off the end of the map and letting the ECU extrapolate what fuelling or timing you want from the last row (which is what it does by default).

      So many people don't notice it, as batteries decay slowly over time. Two big reasons people end up noticing and needing to replace batteries: 1) The cold weather. The cold not only makes it harder to turn the engine for a few reasons, but it also increases the batteries internal resistance. So this means you need MORE power to turn a colder engine, AND the battery has a lower limit on how much current it can provide. 2) Something gets modified/altered/added in the wiring, typically an aftermarket accessory, like a dash camera, or an alarm etc, and this adds a small amount extra onto the battery, and pushes it over the edge in its failing days. But if you hadn't have read this thread, and just pushed through, chances are you might have made it through this winter, just. But come next winter, it would have been kapoot. But the fact you changed it out now, means you've instantly noticed how much nicer it is for starting, and will be less worry for you that the engine won't start now.

      Holy shit, I'm glad you brought up the battery issue and I'm glad I asked about measuring it. Old battery was at a healthy 12.82V in the morning with the car turned off. Removed the fuel pump fuse, clamped the multimeter on at min/max/average and cranked for ~3 seconds. It dropped down to 8.30V. So yeah, not surprising it struggled that much. Picked up a fresh battery from supercheap and it's ridiculous. Haven't done a cold start yet, but man, even with a warm start the difference is night and day. I can't believe I lived with this for so long. Just blamed it on it being an old modified car. Went with Century because convenient. If they are shit it'll be a future me problem. But just in case I set up a reminder for 30 months - 8 weeks to check on the battery state and get a warranty replacement if necessary.

      There's another sensor that sits inside the evaporator, that's a C U N T to get to, but can be done without removing the entire unit. Usually it's not the sensor that dies but the actual capacitor in the circuit (part of the plug that dies).

      Putting the climate control CU into diagnostic mode is independent of the ECU. You just have to do the dance prescribed in the manual. No, I do not know what the dance is. I have an R32, so use the dance in the R32 manual. On older cars, I would have said "no, the ECU should not affect whether the A/C works".... but for an R34 that might be wrong. I don't recall the detail, but there was extra mods required to make my R32 A/C work against the R34 ECU. The R34 ECU apparently gets involved in the running of the A/C more than earlier cars did. Theoretically, if the PFC is a true plug in, then it should just work the way that the original ECU does - wrt A/C. But there's always scope for them to have not cared. Nope. Pressure switch out = getting the fridgey out to pump the gas out before pulling the switch. The switch really cannot sense gas pressure unless it is up against the gas.
