E Boost + Tach Adapter

[Ralph Wiggum]

Do you have to fit one of these autometer tach adapters to run the eboost2.

Nope

Or is it required only if you want to set varied boost per rpm.

Correct!

I'm just looking at running micro switches on shifter lever setting lower boost in 1-3.

Good Idea! its right up there on my list of things to do with my car!

Would like to know for when I set mine up, if say I run it with varied boost per gears how

Do you get around AFR's staying correct on factory Ecu.

If your Injector scaling and air flow tables are correct the Pcm will referenace the Base fuel table when in OL so you should get your commanded AFR with the lower boost level.Eg with higher boost in 4-5 gear I will require to more fuel and when it's running less boost in the lower gears it will be running rich because of it.

As above mate if your cars tuned correctly it wont be an Issue

Is there a boost compensator in the tune that can be set to correct the different levels of boost.

There is RPM based compensation built into the units. Its normally used to combat boost creep. With an E-Boost 2 you can set up to 5 Boost groups with different Boost pressures,Wastegate locking pressures, Sensitivies and RPM compensation. You can ramp you boost on smoothly in 1st 2nd and 3rd (and have different levels for each) and Have it come on nice and hard in 4th and 5th.

What are the autometer adaptors worth.

Thanks Luke

If you have the rpm signal connected you could also use RPM BASED SETPOINT MAPPING which allows you to select the boost level at increments of 500rpm through the rev range which can give you a power curve tailored to your preference. I have a smooth progressive map for track days to limit wheel spin in the 3000rmp to 4500rmp range and an aggressive one for the street which is fun to drive.

how did this end up, I'm looking at getting one of the autometer tach adapter (the Ford Racing one is no longer made)Can anyone tell me for sure the Autometer one works???

then run the two red wires and the earth wire toward the front of the car to the multi pin plug near the ECU.

Is this the plug just outside the "ecu enclosure"?

Hi. Mount the autometer tach adapter on the firewall using one stud for the ABS one one side and 2 short self tappers on the other and then run the two red wires and the earth wire toward the front of the car to the multi pin plug near the ECU. On the engine side of the plug locate a heavy red/green (pinky red and pale green) wire and cut this wire about 50 mm from the plug. Join the plug side (ecu side) to the red wire and the engine side to the red/black wire and then run the earth wire across toward the ECU and earth it on the stud that secures the AC pipe behind the ECU. The gray wire can either run across the engine bay with the brake pipes or down to the grommet below the glovebox. All done. Cheers MD

Hi,would you happen to have any photo's of the multi pin plug you refur to in your post??

I can confirm that wiring it this way works. Finally got mine done, very happy with the result

How does it know which gear you are in?

Think you run micro switches at gear lever on manuals but not sure about autos.

Hi lads, my apologies for reviving an old thread but just curious as to if this is the tach adapter you ended up using to run in conjunction with your eboost2
