RobSheffield Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 One thing I've found is that 1 bar is too much to get to the road in 1st gear, so really need to set it up so that I can run lower boost in low gears and raise it for 4th upwards. Cant the AEM do that? I know you wont be running it, just curious Edit, no it can use a solenoid and switch boost, but i dont *think* 'it' can control boost according to gear......although it would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Avcr boost controller is your next buy then Can the Blitz SBC-IDIII not do it then? I thought it could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 im pretty sure the sbc-idiii can not without the aid of a Power Meter i-D so it can use the speed map function so it limits boost up to certain speed etc. Yes the AEM can and also controls the boost against speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Can the Blitz SBC-IDIII not do it then? I thought it could. Only with the Speed meter it could do that, unless you have the ID Colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 No 'colour' version here, just the basic one. im pretty sure the sbc-idiii can not without the aid of a Power Meter i-D so it can use the speed map function so it limits boost up to certain speed etc. Dammit. Looks like it'll just be down to good old driver input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Okay, next on the list is a speed meter. It'll fill the space next to the SBC anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Just for clarification, the speed map is set by MPH not which gear you are in. Here is my settings: CH1 used upto 20mph CH2 used upto 40mph CH3 used upto 60mph CH4 60mph+ FAO thread here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=4547 and you want to read page 8 of the SBC manual for the speed map setup(via the FAO link).

JamieP Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 1.2 bar for most of the time and 1.6bar for when you want to show up a supercar:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 our last customer andy who bought t51r we set up to run 1.2 bar and now he runs 1.6 no problem not sure for how long like as it seems a little high 1.6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Homer, I have a Blitz Power meter if you want me to send it to you to experiment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Have you thought about water injection just for peace of mind when upping your boost, i`m going to drop a kit on for the ring trip i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd-mkiv Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 what sort of boost could this take on an uprated engine? with aem and 880 injectors sorry for the hijack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krister Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 On a stock engine I'd personally run as much boost as the engine is be making more power. The limitation is not the engine internals, it's the pump fuel and the fact that you would need to pull timing not to get knock therefore you make less power if you raise the boost from 1bar to 1.2 or 1.4 to 1.6. People in US use to run as much as 2bar of boost on a stock engine on race fuel without much problems. As I said, I dont think the engine is the weakest link if you keep it happy with fuel and avoid detonation. Boost away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 Thanks for all the inputs guys, all advice taken on board Unfortunately due to the weather over the last two days we've not been able to get any mapping done. I think it's going to be a case of try it and see. See how 1.2 bar feels and go from there, if it's not enough power then 1.3-4bar could be on the cards.

tDR Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Thanks for all the inputs guys, all advice taken on board Unfortunately due to the weather over the last two days we've not been able to get any mapping done. I think it's going to be a case of try it and see. See how 1.2 bar feels and go from there, if it's not enough power then 1.3-4bar could be on the cards. But it will feel like enough at the time. For all of a week or two!! I don't think mapping to 1.4 is rediculous, then run that when you got yourself some competition on the road. Also, timing will be a little more retarded at that boost level if set up for that so then running 1.2 will be very safe given less boost with less ignition advance than if you optimised for 1.2bar. With the PowerFC you will need to save seperate maps for normal and race fuel, then load them up to the ECU with a laptop when at the strip to run on the race fuel. Interestingly enough, the MAP2 piggyback ECU has 'on the fly' switchable maps through a dash mounted switch, out of the box Cheers, Brian.
