OPEN LOOP and CLOSED LOOP boost control

I am installing a hybrid EBC.

I need to know what open loop means and how it works and the same for closed loop.

I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW HOW TO INSTALL IT ON A SKYLINE.. I WANT TO KNOW HOW EACH WAY WORKS.

thanks

RiaZ

P.S where are all the experts :)

Yeah thats right, I just want to add something:

Fig 1: Open loop - the boost will reach a preset level, this may not actually be the boost pressure that it achieves because the controller has no way of judging what pressure has been reached. Thats why open loop controllers are "set and check types"

Closed loop - The controller will have a pressure sensor to tell it what the pressure is, it will then increases (or decrease) the pressure by a set ammount and checks the pressure again. based on that info, the contoller then increases (or decreases) by a set amount (smaller than the first) and that repeats untill the desired pressure is reached. Increasing or decreasing the pressure by smaller ammounts each time.

Figure 2 and 3 show a poorly designed (cheap) closed loop controller, Figure 1 shows a controller that overshoots the desired pressure (boost spike) and osscilates untill it finally reaches the desired pressure. Figure 3 shows a controller that takes too long to reach the set pressure - obviously not good.

Figure 4 shows a well designed controller that quickly reaches the set pressure without overshooting.

The maths for control systems engineering gets fairly complex, but if your really keen look at a uni level control systems text book, this stuff is in the first chapter.

thanks for that patrick

So basically if the instructions for this Hybrid controller state that a Karmann sensor (mitsubishi AFM - GSR) vehicle can only run open loop..this i take it is because the vehicle doesnt come from factory with a boost gauge and has no map sensor so i think it asks for me to use the TPS reading instead and run open loop or some shizzle.

but if i install a map sensor then i should be able to run this controller in closed loop which would be the best way.

i hope thats right.

and now... off to the mitsubishi forums to check if anyone has done this... trust me mitsu forums... hmm...not much knowledge there as most cars are N.A

thanks again... if anyone else wants to add anything to this please let me know

Riaz,

I'm sure you could nab an R33 MAP Sensor and adopt it to the mitsi somehow, this would give you exactly what your looking for :rofl:

P.S. I have the same Hybrid EBC, and in open-loop its quite dissappointing, closed-loop however is dam good!!

yeah i got one of Mr Dobbie

good on him..

now to donk him on the head and drive away with that sweet r32.

back to it..

so yeah got a sensor and i think i will just hook it up as per how i feel like hooking it up and see if it works properly etc.. if it doesnt then i guess i am stuck with open loop which means.. guess what.. i have an EBC for sale..

but yeah otherwise CLOSED LOOP it is..

NICE

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yeah the rule of thumb with an LS is 7psi per 1000rpm. That is decidedly not enough at 6800rpm. I mainly looked for the scenarios where knock started to be picked up and it was later in the session when things were hotter, and oil was thinner, and the pressure was lower than it should be. (i.e very horrible). I am hoping with thicker oil (I was running Penrite ten tenths 10-40, the manual specifies 10-30) that does not leak that it's much improved at that time!!! I am using Project Mu Club Racer CR pads. I'm also using the Project Mu 335C fluid. The symptoms imply that it was fluid that boiled, but no bubbles seemed pretty weird to me when I bled it today. I want to try Castrol SRF as it has a much higher wet temp but, well, I have new Project Mu fluid lol... so I should at least use that. The pedal on track was really noticable. It went from basically normal feeling to instantly near-floor. The car did pull up as before, it was just very much nearly at the floor before the brakes engaged. At that point I pretty much decided the day was very done, it did *kinda* come back during that very slow cooldown lap into the pits. Felt perfectly fine driving home.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      Then today, I went to visit a man with an r33 hat Peter and Road and Race sorted the alignment. As it is being set up for general track/hillclimbs etc it has a heap of caster (7o), less camber than I am used to (1o front and 2o rear, as the caster looks after that in turns without the braking downsides), 3mm front toe out and 0 toe rear. Will see how that goes and track tyre wear to see if it does need more camber, but adjsustment is also limited with nismo arms and adjustable bushes at only 1 end. It does have a bent inner tie rod on the driver's side front but as it came up within spec I'll just leave that as is. So, that is getting close to my chapter of this story....could of tidy ups then a shakedown in early October before it finds a new home.

      So, it went to Unigroup for a run in and tune on Friday, everything went (generally) well. In terms of fixes, the engine was good and there were no leaks. It needed plugs (I hadn't checked them because the coil pack cover was on a new engine and I couldn't imagine they weren't new.....but turns out the temporary plugs to just keep it sealed up were in there.....new plugs gapped to 0.8 and it was fine from there. Also, there was a little preload on the clutch slave which caused some slip. I haven't had the box off so I don't know what the clutch looks like; my guess it is brand new and the pedal had not been adjusted....backed that off a bit and it held fine. Last thing will have Dose crying....the idle especially when cold is a bit difficult between the cams, forward plenum, atmo blow off valve and an 80s air management system. It is fine when hot but a little uneven when cold, will see if I can sort or at least improve that one cold morning. Other than that, tuning went fine. It made 245 but was pulled back to 227 which 2 opportunities to improve in future. 1. The factory CAS is not great and was jumping around at high RPM, so Mark took 2 degrees out up top (that is why it stops making power and lost 20kw). Very safe this way and the extra power is available but will require a more modern ECU and better cam (or even better crank) sensor 2. The 2871 in factory housings is very big for a low mount, and the internal wastegate is too small, so it was creeping from mid range all the way to redline....the duty cycle on the boost controller is turned down a little for safety. That is much harder to fix, it would need a large external gate and that would require a whole bunch of other changes, so it will go as it is for now. It feels nice and healthy and safe, so should be good for about a billion laps like this.
