The current race tune was achieved with a 10psi wastegate spring, so the cycle was almost at maximum with 29 tappering of to 27psi, that is why it didn't hold 29, 16psi spring will be in the car shortly!

Cos tuning around this is easy, but crude.Fueling can be fooled by simply adjusting the high slope injector value, or you can go in and alter the speed density tables to command more fuel or even simply yet, alter the base fuel table at WOT position.So it can be done. But its crude as I said. But as the boost level isnt that far above the cliped map sensor, it will do.But, What if you were to run like 35 to 40psi.. like many of the big power cars do then the *engineeringly correct* way of doing this would be to change the map sensor(s) to a 3.5 or 4bar.Changing to a 3.5 or 4bar MAP sensor is Physically easy.. However, NONE of the tuning packages have the required values shown to do so. Your left with a rather crude way of reshaping the speed density tables to make it work.danny.

So I answered accordingly, if I have oftended anyone I apologise this was not intended I just stated that my tuner(s) did not require an upgrade in CPU to achieve this ressult!RegardsSpiro Edited 30/11/09 01:30 AM by Buf-Phoon quote removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically answering YES, the standard PCM does go "SKETCHY" over 25 odd psi of boost. But you can tune it so its not a problem. But its crude.When I mean by crude is that your tuner will be adjusting the ~25psi load point for Timing AND fuel, regardless of how much boost you running over 25psi, ie, 30psi, 35psi, 40psi.. The PCM cannot tell the difference between ANY of those boost levels. In doing that, ~25psi will be rich, and starts coming good towards the desired boost level it was tuned at.But at the end of the day. The difference between the boost raising from 10psi to 38psi under WOT conditions, your not going to notice the rich fuel mixture as it comes up, around and passes ~25psi as it will be a split second change.Ideally this much boost is best setup with a 3.5bar or 4bar map sensor.. bringing other problems as I mentioned previously.Me personally. I would never put a aftermarket PCM on these cars. And its credit to people like Spiro and his tuner who battle on with such extreme setups keeping the factory management in place.danny.

d rangd Member 341 Member For: 16y 1m 6d Posted 30/11/09 01:43 PM Share Posted 30/11/09 01:43 PM I have asked my tuner to tune the car with the standard ecu, then wire in the autronic and tune with that, but only at 21psi as that's all I want at the moment. if he does or not is another question, but id like to see it..I only have a ba ecu, and they are even worse than the bf onwards ecu...plus im convinved it will help me reach my goal on the strip with the 2 step rev limiter etc. very keen to see what your car makes with 35psi! has it even been done yet?

I am doing it because it has not been done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
