There's no way we'd get the power down through those little tyres without it. The boost control is only one small reason we went down this route. We can have an unlimited size map sensor, target afrs which is awesome over such a broad boost/power increase over a run, target timing, individual cylinder tuning & more than anything its ability to datalog. It's opened my eyes to a new world since seeing what it's capable of logging and how we can use that information to go faster. We basically went from no data to running that time in 4 passes, that alone shows its value in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't use gear based with the haltech, the way we have it atm it's road speed, eg we leave the line and just as an example from 0-20klm 16psi is desired and we can dial in at any increments say from 20klm to 180klm to a peak boost value depending on how much the tyres will let us put in. This is the point that we're at now just to get that peak boost in as early as possible obviously if you can reduce that to all the boost in by 120 or 140klm ya gonna go quicker cause u have a higher average hp across the pass. As it is the tyres are on the brink of breaking out down the track which we can see in the road speed trace so we know we can't put it in any earlier. We used the eboost prior to this and I manually up selected mid run via the controller to feed more boost into it but was a big jump and even with speed it shock loaded the tyres and probably the rest of the system. It can be set via gear or a time base but you still only have 6 increments to work with where as the haltech is endless. The long explanation wasn't so much for you mick but others that might be curious but not as familiar with the track or of coarse the benefit of this type of control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
