[QLD] Workshop Day - December 5 2010 - 8am

hey? still boost cutting?

 

[godzilla]

Thinking about it Matt, I am not sure that bypassing the boost control solenoid will stop boost cut. Boost cut is there because it's the ECU's way of protecting against overboost. Just thinking that bypassing the BCS will just prevent the ECU from fighting the boost setting you are manually applying.

I now think that the only way around your boost cut is a flash.

 

[Rasi]

At what pressure is boost cut happening?

 

[naughtika]

hey everyone.. hope everyone got home safe.. was kind of a weird weather.. but anyway.. was good to catch up with old faces and meet new ones as usual

Matt, I wasn't aware that you were getting boost cuts.. have you tried looking for leaks?

Brocky.. thanks for organizing with your boss so that we could use your carpark space..

right now I'm still a bit sleepy so I'll update / add more when I wake up.. lol

 

[Rasi]

I thought you were working tonight Christian..

I thought you were working tonight Christian..

I am at work already..

Paul/Trev, Yep, got it once coming home. It stopped raining for a bit so I thought I'd just test it and BAM, the dirt wasn't gone

Mike, not sure as I don't have a boooooost gauge yet. :/

Christian, I guess it's possible but being all factory (mbc aside) I didn't think that'd be an issue. Would getting an OBDII cable and monitoring the ECU tell me when it was happening?

 

[fieldy107]

Glad you all had a good day, still pissed off at myself, but thats all I want to talk about that lol.

Matt you need to get a boost gauge, trying to tune a boost controller with no gauge? of course your gonna hit cut. And Trev is right, only way to remove the boost cut is a flash tune. What controller you end up getting?

 

[parepin]

Good meetin you all, will def try and make it out to the next event...hopefully with some mods first haha

Hey Andrew, you're more than welcome to come by and your car doesn't have to have mods..

Yes if you can monitor the 2 byte load you could work out the percentage load you are hitting and dial it back from that but really, get a gauge on it (borrow one from a friend/decent workshop whatever) and set it up. Or do it properly and flash it....

 

[Nitephyre]

Right, so the bypass is useless then without a tune? I guess it'll have to wait and I'll just put up with it.

Chris, I haven't changed any setting on the MBC since the day Trev put it on and even so, it was only a very small increase.

Looks like I've still got a lot to learn about how it works... no matter, maybe it'll just be easier if I stick it back to stock *shrugs*

 

[naughtika]

how's your Power Steering and AYC? feels better?!

 

[unclepaulie]

i dunno mat, i swear i bypassed mine and it was all good

 

[fieldy107]

Bypassing the factory solenoid shouldn't make any difference to boost cut, it just stops the factory boost control fighting with the after market boost control. Matt you need a boost gauge? I have one Im not using anymore you can have for free, let me know if you want.

 

[Nitephyre]

Power steering is great. AYC seems to be better, although because it's been shithouse weather and I've had the family in the car, I haven't tried it out properly yet

Chris, that'd be awesome if you don't use it anymore... sure you don't want anything for it?

 

[fieldy107]

nah its all good, I even have a holder thing for it. Just gotta figure out how to pull it out of my car, I superglued it down because it would not sit still

Hey mate I've got a Gizzmo MS2 It comes with a boost cut option. Digital boost reading in psi or bar. scramble options and also a closed and open circuit options. Just throwing it out there havent tuned it right yet as clutch is slipping anything past 7 psi.
