What does a Motec need to control boost?

I'm not a guru when it comes to electrics, but in short, spoke to the mapper and they have suggested it would be better to control boost through the Motec ECU rather than the HKS EVC-S.

 

So what do I need to buy to do this? Also, will I need a 3 bar map sensor to replace the OEM one?

 

Thanks

Thanks for the info, appreciated.

 

The ECU is a Motec M600, if you have a MAP sensor, it would be really appreciated and I can PayPal you straight away.

 

Is the GM map sensor a direct replacement to OEM?

 

Sorry, one last noob question, can the HKS solenoid be used? Or is that a resounding no?

No, the GM sensor requires a new plug which I should also have.

 

The HKS boost valves, for experience, seem to be Linear proportioning rather than pulse width modulated solenoids. MoTec being MoTec may support this but I doubt it.

I should have a new 3 bar map sensor and solenoid, only just seen this, sorry. If your laptop has a proper true parallel (printer) port you should be able to access the ecu with the much cheaper parallel to ecu cable, and not need the expensive CAN to USB lead. I may have a lead I would sell.

That is fairly an open ended question.

 

What there is, is that the MoTeC ecu hase a Boost control Feature built in that can be leveraged when you assign one of the Aux output to Function: 1 (Boost Control).

 

How you do the Boost control at that point is tied to what you will use for boost controlling (ie Just MAP, or Map vs Ground Speed etc).http://dailydigitaldeals.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/11/20/buy.gif
