Danny,

How do you get the thing to deliver such boost so low in the rev range ? Your graphs don't show how it builds up, it just starts at about 18psi. I'd figure at 75kmh in third gear the RPM would be around 2000rpm, and I've never seen full boost that low before. What's the trick ?? It is just done with a heap of advance?

Cheers

Robin.

Hey Robin

Mines a auto with a convertor, on the dyno it flashes straight to approx 2800rpm as you can see by the following datalog

The columns are, Time in seconds, Air Temp (degree's F), Desired Boost, Boost error, Engine Load, RPM, Throttle position, Wastegate Duty cycle.

As you can see I had load sitting at 2.3ish @ 3600rpm in 3rd gear. Which is fairly typical.

One reason why it ramps boost in so hard is because it holds the wastegate shut until the last minute (wastegate duty 1.0 = wastegate shut)

This is one of the major benefits of running in closed loop boost control.. The PCM does most of it for you.

Although this tune's boost curve does not look perfectly flat on the dyno (it overshoots boost at 3600->3900rpm and then ossilates a little, hense the -2.2 in the boost error being overboost), and then drops off a little. In First gear on the street, it actually needs more duty cycle around that point to bring boost up in first. So coming on boost, it has that extra bit of duty cycle to bring it up in first gear, and when it shifts, the revs only drop to about 4500rpm, where its pretty much running in closed loop to keep it flat.

What the interesting part is now how much more duty you had to run to get 18psi compared to 15psi, I recall you telling me that you had it at 0.2 duty or there abouts for most of the way to command 15psi.

Although one point to notice is the charge air temps, at the start of the run is 24.7 deg C and at the end of the run its climbed up to just over 30deg C. That is less than a 6 deg increase in charge air temps over a power run at 18psi. More to the point it shows that this power can be made consistently and without stupidly high intake charge temps the motor is far less prone to rod destroying detonation.

0.2 duty around the 4000rpm-4500rpm mark.. After that it usd to ramp upto approx 0.45 at 5500rpm

What mods have u done on your car to achieve that power level?

Airbox, Cooler, Plenum, 60lb injectors, Valve springs, 4"dump -> twin 2.5" exhaust, 11.8psi actuator and wastegate port done. Autos been rebuilt with new frictions, and AU planterys with some minor valve body wake up.

Other than all that.. she's stock! lol
