T14PPA Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Ive just installed my blitz sbc and im a bit confused over the setting up. Ive got the gain on 20 and the boost on 55. I went for a little run and my peak come back at 0.4. Does this sound right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 No bud. My gain is at 61 and hits 1.23bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14PPA Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 No bud. My gain is at 61 and hits 1.23bar. What can be the problem mate? Im running a xspower gt45 with external wastegate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Duty is what controls the level of boost, and gain is how fast it spools Mike. Keep the gain setting low to start with, maybe around 10. Turn the duty up in small increments, until you hit the boost level you want - it will take a few wot runs to get there. Once you're happy with your boost level, increase the gain to bring the turbo on boost faster, again in small increments. If the gain is set too high, it'll over boost and could cause damage. If it starts spiking, turn the gain down. And always keep the gain lower than duty. I've just fitted a gfb ebc to mine, and with the duty at 52, I hit just over 1.1 bar. My gain is set at 12 and it spools up quickly. Incidentally, my setting are identical to the gizzmo boost controller I had, which achieved the same results - leading me to believe that most boost controllers should in essence be similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14PPA Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Great gary thanks but im wondering whether its plumbed in right. Heres a picture of what i went by. What you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Yes that should be right bud, just make sure you use the correct two ports on the solenoid, the correct way around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14PPA Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Yes that should be right bud, just make sure you use the correct two ports on the solenoid, the correct way around! I just swapped them round and its pretty much the same. Peak boost does go up when i increase duty but nothing major. However ive just noticed that my boost gauge and turbo timer show a higher boost peak than the boost controller. Boost controller says 0.35 peak and my turbo timer says 0.55. Big difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Have you got it setup correctly? It maybe easier for you to put it into Auto mode rather than manu while you trouble shoot. You can then select your boost level in bar and it should climb to that figure and stay there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14PPA Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Do i have to hit higher speeds? As it hits higher boost in higher gears. My peak hit 0.55 at 60 duty. I thought it should be hitting more. Does my laggy turbo effect this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does my laggy turbo effect this? No. You will be able to hit full boost in all gears apart from maybe 1st. Just try setting it to auto and setting it at 1.2bar. It should then hit 1.2 bar consistently - If not then something is wrong and the trouble shooting can start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
