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?

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
