hi guys,

i just got my boost controller.

i have a k&n drop in filter and 3''turbo back exhaust.

i want to tune it for 12-13 psi for the high boost.

i have come past the article on evo forum about how to tune it.

but i was just wondering if any one is who has the same set of mods and is running this boost controller as well give me their settings it would be easier.

thanks for the help.

@superben...i am not afraid of anything.but after reading through the stuff i realised that it will b pretty hard for me to get the perfect setup since i have never done it before.

so if anyone who perhaps is runing the same mods as me has it setup PROPERLY can give me their settings i have the most chance to get the near perfect setup haha.

if i cant i will try myself anyways.

The settings will vary greatly from car to car even with minor mods. Just make sure you have no boost leaks and increase the duty cycle doing 3rd gear pulls until you get the boost level you want. It's not that hard. The first time is actually pretty fun

Do you have a decent intercooler ? If you don't you'll be sorry. But if you have then proceed forward. Set your gain on 10. Set your set gain to 8. Set gain should always be about 4lb below your target boost. So set gain is an actual boost number. It will delay the waste gate opening till that point. Where as gain is a reference number and just a number to reference a range for the boost controller to work in.

Now set your boost. Turn the boost controller to 10 by simply turning the dial to 10. A quick drive in third gear and see what the boost is. Too low ? Turn it up to 15 then keep going till you achieve your desired boost. Once that is found you can play around with set gain by turning it up just a notch at a time to see if the boost will come on ealier but if it over boosts turn it back down again. There is no need to change Gain as 10 is pretty much perfect for most setups.

Good luck. Don't go over 12lbs boost for standard turbo. In fact, if your intercooler is standard leave it at 10lbs.

this is what i am following plus the one on the instruction manual---

The following steps should be taken in exactly this order, taking into consideration all of the previous information:
1. Change boost pressure units to psi if so desired (see manual).
2. Set WARNING to your desired boost pressure plus 1 psi (about 7 kPa) (see above).
3. Set START BOOST (SET GAIN) to your desired boost pressure minus 4 psi (about 28 kPa)(see above).
4. Clear PEAK boost value (see above).
5. Set LAST BOOST to ON (see above).
6. Set GAIN to 0 (see above).
7. Set SET to 30% (see above).
8. Set LIMITER to SET minus 4% (26% if you followed #7).
9. Test for boost falloff at high rpm. You should probably do this in a wide open area with no other cars nearby and preferably no cops. It is also good to have somebody in the car with you that can watch the gauge while you concentrate on not wrecking your car. If there is no boost falloff, then go to #10. If there is boost falloff, then increase the GAIN by 5% and test again. Keep in mind that when you increase the GAIN value, the corresponding boost that you will go up to will be higher even if you leave the SET value alone. Repeat until the boost pressure does not decrease, or until you feel surging. If you feel surging and the boost pressure still decreases (not sure if this is possible) then decrease to the last level that you did not feel surging at.
10. Increase SET by 2% and adjust LIMITER accordingly, then test again. Keep increasing by 2% until desired boost level is obtained.
11. Increase START BOOST (SET GAIN) by 1 increment and test until surging is felt or the WARNING level is hit and the display turns red, then decrease to the previous setting.

guy i tried the following settings but my boost only went up to 80 in 3rd gear and its in psi.

set 90%

gain15%

set gain 120

i dont under stand why i cant achieve higher boost is there something wrong with my connection or the solenoid?

i am uploading the picture in the next post.

well here are the pictures the first one shows the t piece which is connected to the line coming out of the blow off valve and the line that goes on to the boost controller.

the second picture is showing the connection of the solenoid.one part is connected to what i think is the actuator(sorry i am a newb) the other one is connected from the turbo pressure line i guess.

is this connection ok?

am i not able to acheive higher boost because of the tuning or the connection being wrong or faulty solenoid?

please any help.post-86840-0-25559900-1397762494_thumb.jpgpost-86840-0-69714400-1397762506_thumb.jpg

Do yourself and us a favour. Draw a sketch showing all the lines and connections. Random photos of small bore vac lines in an engine bay are useless. For example.....the BOV line. There is no reason to hook up to that line, and we can't see what is hooked up to it. So what are we supposed to say about it?

alright this is the best i could do i am just unsure about what the other part of the slenoid is connected.one is connected with a line from the turbo(prollly turbo pressure source).the other one seems to be coming from a round thing thats just underneath that.i am not sure if its a waste gate.

any help will b greatly appriciated.

That all looks correct. The line connected to the BOV line is for the boost signal just for display. The connection at the turbo is the boost signal for control and the the other line from the solenoid definitely goes to the actuator. So your hookup is the same as the one shown on page 6 of the below instructions.

@gts boy ya man.so does that mean there is something wrong with the solenoid? bcz with

set 90%

gain15%

set gain 120

it only went up to 8 psi and the speed was 150.if there was a faulty solenoid will it give the readings and everything?

plus since i am an auto should i tune it in 2nd or 3rd?

Solenoid could be faulty. Or it could be connected at the wrong ports on the valve itself. Signal from the turbo compressor side should be connected to the NO port. The wastegate actuator should be connected to the COM port. This is only true for internal wastegate situations (which you have). If the signal is connected to the NC port then things could go wrong.

Otherwise......your settings are way wrong. If it was working then set=90% should give massive boost (and a borked turbo). Gain at 15% is probably OK, but the start boost at 120 is 120 kPa, which is waaaaaaay too high. Even if it is in psi then it is 12 psi which is still too high. So, if it is set like that then it is simply not working.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
