thedirtycat Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I got a blitz I colour boost controller a while back and it's set up as best as I can set it up but I know before I talked to a couple of people saying with this one you can set boost levels in each gear and map boost with revs, speed and throttle position. I guess to do this properly I would need to rolling road it and set it up on there. Is it worth doing though? Would doing this allow for better response ? I know I think it was Nic on here that said it really makes a difference when properly set up but not sure exactly how it would improve things.

ashbuster Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 when i bought mine it was already set up and the difference it made was crazy. way to complicated for me to set up properly so luckily it was already done lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you comparing it to non bpu or comparing it to a previous boost controller. So far I have changed the "set" and the gain is at 20. To be fair I think the gain made a big difference.

ashbuster Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 im comparing it to a manual boost controller mate , the type thats not worth putting on a supra lol if your sticking with bpu twins then may aswell get it done. but if you plan to go single then it would be pointless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well sticking to the twins now and if I did go single I think I would buy one that's already done. Thought it would be good to get the most out of this boost controller though.

thedirtycat Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 you a friend and alot of time will pay dividens Not sure how hard it is to set it up properly. I thought it have to be done on a rolling road. Will have a look to see how it's done and maybe I can do it but I will have to read about it because I don't understand exactly how you set the boost up with revs, speed and throttle position or maybe it can automatically detect all of that as it can read the revs etc although it keeps going to default which is wrong for the car so it reads the revs wrong then haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 if its wierd in correctly it will read the revs from the ecu and you just have to do like a gear learn (WELL YOU DO ON THE AVCR), takes a little time but read the manual carfully and understand it so you know what your doing and what you want to achieve. rolling road wont be needed just a quiet long road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in boost settings I have it on manual mode and put settings in to get the correct boost levels. It looks like you can set it to auto instead. I don't know how it works. I guess you just stick it on auto and select max boost you want and it does the rest for you ? Ash, is yours set to auto in boost settings ?

ashbuster Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 i have no idea mate its too confusing i dont want to mess lol the only thing i did was lower the boost number down because it was a little on the high side. i have a thick manual for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 read the manual, auto does work but there are alot more things you have to set up first , its not that hard really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedirtycat Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 I read the manual and it doesn't really explain how auto works. Just says its not as accurate as manual mode. Yet surely if its doing it depending on revs etc and calculating it all its self then shouldn't it be more accurate And give better results. I see now on the last bit where it has a different option in function settings to allow it to use revs or speed to deter main boost. It just confused me because before when people were talking about it, it sounded like you had to lend loads of time setting up the boost at different revs in different gears but it sounds like you just put it in auto mode and it works it all out for you.
