JamesArup Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Bugger ... So I've had it in the wrong place all this time ... which means my speed map will be t**s-up too . Beer is certainly a more inviting prospect .... but I might as well do something productive today (then congratulate myself with beer later ) Only prob is that there are 3 wires going into the convertor, and I am not 100% sure which one the speed one it? I will go and investigate now Cheers, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesArup Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Okay .... just taken a closeup picture of the converter to be 100% sure! Is it the Yellow (KMH input) or the Blue (MPH output) that I need to splice the PowerMeter into? My brain hurts!! Cheers for the help, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Splice it into the output mate, as this is the one that tells the SBC etc what MPH you are doing exactly, and should help to work out the BHP and everything else.

JamesArup Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Excellent .. Job done, cheers Ben, Although I wouln't advise trying to do ECU wiring with the passenger door closed because of the rain ... it's a bit of a tight squeeze . Got about a 45 mins drive to Cricket practise now, so I'll get to give it a good test! Cheers again, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Originally posted by Branners I just set my boost controller up for MAP using speed settings and the increase in performance is amazing in the lower gears. I will check what settings I have in there but I think its CH1 to 20mph 75 gain 26 CH2 to 40mph 70 gain 26 CH3 to 60mph 65 gain 26 CH4 60mph + 62 gain 26 anybody see a problem with these settings? Even flat out going up the Rickmansworth hill (90lep before hitting the top) it didnt go above 1.2bar. JB any updates to these settings? im going to run these today... on my uk TT thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 24, 2004 Author Share Posted July 24, 2004 nope, Im still running them a year later and nothing has gone pop, worst spike i have seen is 1.32bar, mostly hits 1.2bar, I have the warning at 1.35 bar I think and I havent seen it hit that at all. Im also running in ETTC mode some times and they work well with that, give a higher boost but still doesnt spike past the same point as with sequentials.

JohnK Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 I just had an SBC and power meter fitted today, I have set it up to JB's settings but one thin confuses me, the speed setings. JB lists 20, 40 and 60mph but the unit has a scale of 0 - 200mph in 15 steps, which gives ~13mph steps or are JB's figures approx? Heres a pic of the setup screen, could someone please tell me if it looks about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Ive just been out for a test drive and I think I had the settings around the wrong way. Ignoring my speed map question for the second: JB's settings "CH1 to 20mph 75 gain 26" I took this to be boost 75 gain 26 which must have been wrong as I floored it and almost instantly got a warning from my boost guage, it reported a peek of 1.35 bar (I backed off as soon as I heard the buzzer probably would have gone higher) I then changed the numbers round on all 4 chans eg. boost 26 gain 75. This time I couldnt get it higher than 0.8bar. The only thing I know that might effect it is that JB has full decat and I only have cat 1 removed. Anyone have any ideas what settings I should be running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH it seems to vary from car to car. If your hitting 1.35 at that setting try from 70 upwards. Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 The problem is I wasnt hitting 1.35, thats when I backed off, I was only at ~5500rpm, I would have gone a LOT higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRoy Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Not sure what rpm peak boost would occur at but that still might have been around the peak. Its really a case of trying different set points. You may need to start below 70 and then increase 1 point at a time until you reach the limit you require. For instance mines set at 71 but hits jb's figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovatt Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 can somebody with a jspec and front cat still in and a nurspec (or the like) tell me what settings they use on the IDIII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetawayDriver Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I also tried Branners' settings as i too have UK car. I still have one cat in place and showed a max of 1.09. I have the true twin turbo mod too and find that the car pulls great in 1st, 2nd, 3rd when on boost, the change up to 4th seems to bog down a bit a loose power. i need to set the damn thing to record so i can look at it when i'm not flat out in 4th! I've managed to find some english instructions for the SBC i-D III, does any one have a PDF of the powermeter i-D instuctions? i can't find these anywhere. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toms Supra Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I have a blitz dual-sbc boost controller but Im unsure what the seting should be. Bearing in mind a have hybrid turbos I have set the four channels as 1. 25 2. 50 3. 75 4.100 is this ok? And what should my gain be? the instructions say 20 is the norm but the previous owner had it set on 95?! 100 being the maximum. it got it on 20 at the moment. the instructions say anything over 50 and it will be erractic. What are your setting and what do you suggest I should do? I dont want to damage anything! Thanks! Oh and when I had it set on boost gauge setting it went upto 1.2 is that right?

GetawayDriver Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 These are my new settings (UK Spec, don't think JDM can run this on stock fueling): CH1 to 20mph 80 gain 26 CH2 to 40mph 75 gain 26 CH3 to 60mph 70 gain 26 CH4 60mph + 67 gain 26 Then I set the boost controller channel to MAP. I had it on EXT before whch also seem to work, but was irattic and not as responsive. I'm still playing with it and trying different settings. Mostly on the M25 in rush hour - which is a surprisingly good place to do it, lots of stopping and starting, up to 70mph then back to a standstill to readjust things! My settings are 5% higher than JB's to attain the same max boost of 1.2bar. Could this be because i have 1 Cat still in place and JB has a full decat?

GetawayDriver Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 turned these down a bit as hit 1.33 on CH3 with previous settings CH1 to 20mph 80 gain 26 CH2 to 40mph 75 gain 26 CH3 to 60mph 65 gain 26 CH4 60mph + 62 gain 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Just to clear any confusion up when applying the settings: CH1 used upto 20mph - SET=75 Gain=26 CH2 used upto 40mph - SET=70 Gain=26 CH3 used upto 60mph - SET=65 Gain=26 CH4 60mph+ - SET=62 Gain=26 SET = Boost Pressure/level Gain = Boost Resonse/Spool up I have used the JB's settings for a long time and was getting 1.2 - 1.3bar. I used the following bars on the Power Meter: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 However, if you fit an induction kit, you will need to drop the SET numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetawayDriver Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 drop the set by how much? - i've always had an induction kit fitted but have been running 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetawayDriver Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 sorry talking bollocks. gain was 26. so what is a safe boost limit on a UK spec. i am still hitting fuel cut sometimes even with the FCD. - think i'llpost that one in tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 It's the SET/Boost Pressure that I'm adjusting at the moment not the Gain/Boost response. I expect this will be different from filter to filter - car to car ??? I'm guess ? I have dropped CH3 and CH4 by 5 points: So I have: CH3 SET=60 Gain =26 CH4 SET=57 Gain =26 Chnls 1 & 2 are OK I want to bring my boost down to 1.2bar and with it peaking at 1.25bar at worst.

GetawayDriver Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 hmm that makes sense. mine is hitting fuel cut in 4th and 5th, usually close to the redline. the eboost controller doesn't indicate excessive boost. sometimes it hits fuel cut at an indicated 0.9bar. maybe it is not accurate and i've boosting way over what is safe. i have blown a pipe of the intercooler recently - maybe thats a sign!

Dragonball Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 If I understand this correctly the SET figure represents the % increase on stock i.e. if stock boost is 0.9 and SET is at 35 0.9BAR x 135% = 1.2BAR There obviously other factors at work here - but I would seriously work you way up to those figures rather than try them from the 'off' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
