hi, 

I have purchased a greddy boost controller and have a hard time adjusting it.

I understand gain is in percentage on how much boost you want . I started with 5% and now on 30% which gives me 11psi.I don't know what the percent really means. . 30% of base boost or ... they could have just made it easy by sticking to psi.

 

then gain is set to 15% as I understand gain is used if boost drops at the top rpm, gain will maintain the boost . 

 

start, is what you want the greddy to kick in from. I am not really sure what that means but reading from what people have said, it should be your desired boost -4 psi. so it is set to 7psi.

warning , it is what you want the boost controller to be the limit . i set it to 11 psi

limiter, is again in bloody percentage on how much boost it should release when you  hit 11 psi. i set it to 5% .

 

 

now what I see is , on first gear 7 psi as max but it is usually on 5- 6 psi. 

second gear it hits the 11 psi and stops at 12psi at max ! but again runnig around 8psi range

third , same as second.

 

4th same as 1 st gear.

 

I am really confused and fed up with driving up and down to bloody adjust it .

 

should your boost decrease / increase depending on gear or is it more rev dependent ?

It's not a closed loop boost controller, therefore you CANNOT make the setpoint a psi target.  The main setting is basically the duty cycle of the solenoid.  The bigger the number, the more it is bleeding off and the higher the boost will go.  When you get to 100, it cannot bleed any more and whatever boost you have achieved is all you will get.  Of course,the boost may stop rising or the turbo may overspeed and die before you get to 100 anyway.

The gain (set gain) is for trimming the main control result to eliminate droops or spikes.

Thanks for clarification.

 

i started with set of 0 and gain of 0.

 

now at set of 30ish , I achieved around 12psi and have set the gain to 15%.

 

from reading manual I understood the gain to be used to keep the boost if it drops . So for instance if it boosts to 9psi at 4k rpm and back down to 5psi at 5k rpm, you use the gain and keep raising until it consitantly stays on 9psi from 4k onward.

 

am i reading/ understanding it wrong?

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
