[Mk2] [Turbo] changing boost controller and ecu

ok guys so not sure what goin on with actuator pressure so question is ... if car was mapped with standalone ecu and i decide to change ebc for a different one is this ok can i just switch out a greddy for an apexi avcr and setup myself .... or would the standalone ecu need mapping again if i did th...

Re: [All] [Turbo] standalone ecu boost spikes

Thanks guys

on idle its ticking over around -80. i know it should be negative buy should it read -99. i read somewhere it does otherwise a vacuum leak? but i tought anything around -75 was fine?

Re: [All] [Turbo] standalone ecu boost spikes

oh i tried turning set gain to 1.00 from 0.13 and had no power revs went turbo didnt hardly spool. back down to 0.13kpa and woosh turbo kicks in strong

not sure what that tells us? :thumleft:

Re: [All] [Turbo] standalone ecu boost spikes

greddy profec ii spec b ecu and 3 bar map sensor think internal wastegate took for a spin last night 39% set 10% gain 0.13 set gain which is kpa 13 warning 1.2bar limit 5% this hold a steady 1.1 bar from 3rd onwards, 0.87 bar in second should i hit 1.1 in secong also? Actuator pressure seems to be 1...

Re: [All] [Turbo] standalone ecu boost spikes

yes the set gain should be about 4psi less than the desired boost. least those were the greddy settings i saw suggested a long time ago. unless you have maps based on boost pressure (greddy ebc hooked into the link?), then id guess the same timing/fueling will be used on all boost settings to a cer...

Re: [All] [Turbo] standalone ecu boost spikes

you must be missing some settings there? greddy ebc i thought had, set, gain and set gain. your set gain seems very low, which i guess is not a bad thing. your gain is pretty low also already, so again, i wouldnt expect to see spikes. if you cant feel anything on the road, perhaps it got tweaked al...

Re: [All] [Turbo] standalone ecu boost spikes

you should be able to feel a boost spike. car will pull like crazy and die back down almost immediately once boost levels off. which makes sense given the look of your torque graph. eg, shoots to 1.6bar, back down to 1.4, so you would loose/feel torque drop off in that small area. levelling off the...

Re: [All] [Turbo] standalone ecu boost spikes

Excellent thanks jim...i will reduce the gain on high boost to get a smoother delivery which should hopefully eliminate the spike i think someone must have turned the boost up for run as setting is 1 85 bar in max on greddy ebc. should be 1.6 bar. will redice gain and eliminate spike .... i dont fee...

Re: [All] [Turbo] standalone ecu boost spikes

i am guessing it is also safe to reduce the gain on the boost controller without the need for a remap reading the above?

thanks jim

Re: [All] [Turbo] standalone ecu boost spikes

Boost spikes usually down to incorrect boost controller settings. Gain is to high bringing in boost too quickly. Without a boost graph no one can confirm what's going after this initial spool up area, you'd expect to see a spike in torque when you have a spike in boost. Can you feel this spike ? An...

Re: [All] [Turbo] standalone ecu boost spikes

That graph doesn't really tell us anything about boost. Aside from a potential spike when it spools up. (Mod list?) That is a hp vs torque graph A boost graph would be more informative :eye: Glad you respond jim as i know you know your stuff. is that boost spike possibly down to running too much bo...

[All] [Turbo] standalone ecu boost spikes

hi all just after some advice on the below graph https://ibb.co/knynVv as you can see this does not appear smooth so am i correct it looks like wastgate is unable to hold pressure? car is running standalone ecu and supportong mods could it be the boost was just too high on this run? so if you turn b...
