Greddy ProfecB problems

[GTSSS]

HI Everyone,

I have a Greddy ProfecB spec2 and the boost warning feature keeps coming on when whenever I get near 12psi regardless of what it is actually set at

I can rectify this problem by resetting the limit value down (to any value so long as its less and not more thatn the original setting) but that only lasts until I reach the set boost a couple of times and then it goes back to flashing the waring over 12psi or so.

The warning level can be set at 16 psi, but the warning will still come on as above.

I don't believe that boost is spiking as I have had it on a dyno and I monitor the boost guage regularly and it still controlls boost effectively.

I have played around with all of the settings but I am at a loss.

Has anyone else had this problem with their ProfecB or other boost controller? or can offer any suggestions?

I have a series 2 R33 GTS-t

Thanks for your help

what is your max/peak boost when it cut out?

[GTSSS]

The warning light comes at about 12psi, sometimes as earlie as 10.5 psi.

The problem doesn't seem to have any effect on the units ability to controll boost, its more of an annoyance that the unit keeps flashing and beeping.

if it doesn't cut out when the warning light flashing then check for loose wires! if live in the western area i can give you a had to sort it out, pm me if you need help!

I allways thought that the warning light was only a warning on the pbs-2.Not a fuction that cuts the boost as well.

Does that mean that there could be a wire loose.

Where would you start to look if the warning feature wasnt doing it's job properly.

What's the peak when you get the warning?

reset the peak, fang it... if you get the warning check the peak. It'll most probably have peaked over whatever it is you have your warning set at.

You can set the warning to do nothing. Red "Warning" mode screen, and a "0" setting (this sets it to do nothing).

Or you can set it to something by setting this to a number. Then basically, if the profec B reads a higher boost pressure then it will default the boost setting to whatever you had set on the red warning screen.

$20 says your main unit is Silver in colour...

Yeah have exactly the same problem. Not sure what causes it yet. Had to set the boost warning 10psi over normal boost to avoid it. Also have the problem of over boosting when i floor it at anything over 3500rpm. Nothing i do with the settings will fix it. Really bloody annoying. Going to change to a jaycar one instead.

Gunna put the shit Greddy thing in my deisel van.

My Greddy Profec B spec 2 works fine. Really fiddly but fine.

I'm on full boost(13psi) just before 3000rpm (stock turbo) and it holds boost perfectly (see graph)

Mine holds boost fine too on normal spool up. But not when smashing it above normal full boost rpm. Dicked with start boost and gain. Can't stop it over boosting. And the warning is stuffed too.

wilt what settings are u running and what sort of mods you got done to ur 33 please

[GTSSS]

At the moment the limiter is set to 0, so its not limiting the boost only flashing its head off.

Peak boost never goes above 14 psi and the warning is set at 15 psi

I have a black head unit.

I have no problems with boost controll as my dyno graphs will show either a spike or flat progression depending on how I set up the unit.

I Don't think that it is wiring as I can change the warning setting from 15.3psi to 15.2psi and it will only flash when 15.2psi is reached. But this only lasts till i hit boost 3 to 5 times (any boost ammount) and then it will start flashing on boost levels above 12psi?????

So when your is ebc off it boosts fine but when the ebc is on no matter where it is set it overboosts ridiculously.

Why is that.No matter what you have it set on. :confused:

I have the duty cycle at 32% which gives me a nice consistent 16psi on normal roll on spool up. But will spike up to 3psi when smashed above 3500rpm.

Also on the drag strip with around a 4000 -4500 rpm launch the peak boost for the whole run doesn't get above 13.5psi. Got me stuffed.
