I have the SBC ID II and the Powermeter.

 

First off anybody know the difference between the SBC-ID and the SBC-ID II?

 

Secondly anybody else with the powermeter noticed that if you are in the power/speed reading then the current speed reading is wrong, works fine in the speed only reading...

Ahaa, I missed that in the manual. I also have the manual for the SBCID II, its up at Leons I think so I will pick that up on the weekend.

 

Just need to know the difference between the ID II and the original ID.

 

Also what settings does everybody run for channel 1-4?

Chanel 4 I have as my scramble mode - for about 3 seconds I think - but not on yet till I understand it

 

But must admit then getting into the realms of incomprehension for me

 

As I understand it

 

the set represents the % increase in boost pickup over stock (0=stock, 100=maximum boost)

 

the gain the % increase in boost response over stock - the manual suggests on actuator type wastegate thingies (as per us) that this is set to only 10/15% above stock

 

I have therefore chaged mine from Alex's suggestions to the following - as I seemed to have developed a large boost spike on the BHP scale with larger settings

 

Assuming stock boost=0.8

Ch1 Set=20% Gain=10% (giving max boost of 0.96)

Ch2 Set=25% gain=15% (giving max boost of 1.00)

Ch3 Set=35% gain=20% (gisving max boost of 1.08)

Ch4 - god knows

 

Have also set the speedmap setting (but may change these)- this I think only on DBCII

 

0-50mph = Ch1

50-80mph = Ch2

80+ = Ch3

 

Does this make sense - am I being too conservative in my settings?

 

Cheers

My Decat j-spec runs 1 setting only at the moment.

 

Chl 1 : 30 Set Gain 26. ~1.35bar

 

Before the de-cat I ran 55 set gain 26. ~1.35bar

 

Speed map is a piece of P*** to set up...though if you get NO CONNECT then you either have it in MPH or the sensor can't see each other....they have to be nigh on touching.

 

Paul E, glad to see its working...

1.35 is far too high for my liking -I still have 1st cat in - but 1.1/1.15 is as high as I'm going - what are you running as defense against lean fuelling for this boost level Alex?

 

manual says WG=external wastegate AC=actuator wastegate

 

Also - note for future people looking this up

 

DO NOT LEAVE CH SETTINGS ON AUTO!

 

Actually must tell Justin this - the fuzzy logic doesn't work (as said before)

I've got a MINES ECU which runs a richer fuel map. It's not blown up yet and I've recently checked the condition of the internals and am confident I can continue. I'm pushing it to the MAX...don't go any higher on stock 440's!! Really must remember to check what fuel pump I have.

 

So we have an actuator wastegate...I'll double check that's what i'm running.

 

The AUTO function works on singles but not on sequential twins. If Justin left it in that mode then he does need to be corrected to make sure no one else has problems.

Having problems understanding why my speed map doesn't seem to work - Powermeter bit all connecting and set the bar thingies - but doesn't seem to come on

 

Any suggestions on what I may have missed to activate it?

 

Or does the CH value in the digital window not change when on - but happens anyway (if you know what I mean)

 

 

Cheers

Ok - love the system and seems to be 'playing' very well

 

Have it set on map

 

CH1 to 50 MPH 20 set 10 gain

CH2 to 80MPH 25 set 15 gain

CH3 80+leptons 30 set 20 gain

CH4 God knows yet

 

Warning is set on 1.15 with 10% reduction

 

This has seen me showing 1.08 max at 290HP

 

This is deff 'woosy' settings as felt I needed to really get to know the car again - it's so different. Also just reduced the tyre pressures to 32 all round - as felt that it was really 'bouncing about' - feels far more secure now

 

Question

 

Chassis HP = 290 (weight 3500lbs and 15% loss)

 

What figures do this 290 equate to = wheels/engine HP?

 

Cheers

THESE SETTINGS WORK WELL ON A DECAT UK SPEC. DO NOT USE ON A J-SPEC

 

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 set=75 gain=26

CH2 to 40mph set=70 gain=26

CH3 to 60mph set=65 gain=26

CH4 60mph + set=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.

Hi I'm new around here so hello.

:)

I've been reading how people have set up their boost controller and I am a little confused, I read what settings people had and went out last night at 10:40pm and reset mine.

Talk about running like a bag of bolts!

I'm not saying mine is right as I bought my car with the sbc-id booost controller already fitted & I dont have a manual for it.

Why does it have to be set on manual as all my channels were set on auto?

Some advice please.

 

Ch1 15% gain=11psi

Ch2 15% gain=13psi

Ch3 15% gain=15psi

Ch4 15% gain=17psi

 

And I must say it flies it will wheel spin changing from 3rd to 4th gear.

What does scramble mean and how long for 3sec?

It could be set different because of the other mods on my car?

 

Any way hello

 

Damian

Welcome

 

manual here m8

 

http://www.mkiv.com/main/index.html

 

Basically the auto setting should not be used with the soop - and do you know it's so long ago that this came up that I've forgotten why!!

 

Anyway - some reason about something pretty damn important as a reason I'd say! (someone will be along to explain)

 

:p

 

It was left on auto when someone set mine up (arse!) and I got runaway boost

 

Once on manual you can then set the levels of 'set' - this being the increase in boost - for each channel

 

Scramble will give you the high setting of boost when required for the 3 secs specified

 

Welcome!
