Branners Posted November 27, 2002 Author Share Posted November 27, 2002 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...

Dragonball Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 In manual - says that for some reason when in speed and power mode - speed only in KPH! Paul:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted November 27, 2002 Author Share Posted November 27, 2002 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? JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 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 Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted November 27, 2002 Author Share Posted November 27, 2002 THESE ARE MY ORIGINAL SETTINGS, DO NOT USE I need to check my settings but Im sure I run ch1 - set 10 = 0.8bar ch2 - set 20 = havent used it yet ch3 - set 50 = havent used it yet ch4 - set 70 = 1.2bar Will check it when I get down to the car later.

Alex Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 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... AC/WG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually must tell Justin this - the fuzzy logic doesn't work (as said before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted November 28, 2002 Author Share Posted November 28, 2002 Checked my settings (bearing in mind this is on a decat UK spec) and I have ch1 - 10 gain=10 = 0.9bar ch2 - 20 gain = 9 (no idea why) ch3 - 50 gain = 9 (no idea why) ch4 - 70 gain = 20 = 1.2bar Powermeter max reading is 420bhp with weight set at 3500lbs JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Branners, I would try 25-30 gain and 50 set.... See how it goes...pick up should be better and not spike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 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 Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Paul, You have set your CH to MAP haven't you!!???? Press the button on the main screen and turn it till MAP is displayed. If you don't mean that give me a ring, it'll be faster over the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 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?

mrboost Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 anyone turned traction of and spun the wheels ? The powermeter goes AWOL but remeber it will want calabrating again. Can you beat 1250 BHP!!!!! Boost.... very sad but fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted December 13, 2002 Author Share Posted December 13, 2002 that explains my 790bhp reading. I assume it was set wrong for drivetrain loss. Im running a 62 25 on ch4 now and the power seems good without any serious spikes. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Anyone any idea on the 290HP chassis figure - what this might equate to? Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 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. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamp Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 ive got the pin voltage ranges for the ECM on the turbo/non. for use with the SBC-iD data 1/2/3 inputs:) but its in pdf. format so if anybody wants them send a mail/pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted April 13, 2003 Author Share Posted April 13, 2003 will the BBS not let you attach the PDF file? If not then I will change it so it can. PDFs are safe documents so having them as attachments shouldnt be a problem. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamp Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 cheers. might be helpful, most of the info ive got is in pdf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dable007 Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) 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!

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 How accurate would people say the power rating is (no wheelspin)? I only ask, as I managed 282 bhp at 8.6PSi tonight, on my newly installed kit (all set up correctly). My limit is at 18 PSi. Is this a reasonable guesstimate or does it tend to be miles off? Ben..

ChrisB Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Is this the right place to ask where you install the power wire on a ukspec supra? on the instructions it says to the seat heater fuse, but ive got heated front seats, any suggestions where to wire it upto ?
