soooo, i have been switching between my different boost levels to feel out my new burly exhaust...
-boost controller of: 9lbs
-low: 13.5lbs
-high: 16lbs

and... i noticed today, for example, i was on the freeway,in high boost, floored it in fourth and i only hit like 12psi?!!?!?!?...so then i switched the boost controller off...hit 9 like it should, put it back on high...and then it hit 16lbs

anybody else have these issues? please shed some light, i figure the solenoid needs a few runs to "learn" where its at maybe, shot in the dark

 

Not sure on the answer to you're question, but how does it feel now at 16psi as compared to 16psi with the old exhaust? Do you feel a big difference since you got the 3" piping?

 

little bit more sluggish bottom end, but boost builds like a monster, got to get on a dyno to fine tune and get some numbers, will do soon

When you are driving look in the upper right hand corner see if it has "AUTO P" either on the screen or blinking. To set your boost to where you want it you have to make several (4-8) at WOT pulls in either 3rd or 4th gear untill that " AUTO P" goes away. I had a hard time trying to figure this out, its a B**** messing with. If you are going to change around your boost levels and play around with it you might be better of in MAUNAL mode.

 

Manual mode will also offer better spool up FYI. I dont like running EBC's in auto.

really? I didn't know that. The only thing i'm scared of is you can't set boost in halfs as in like (5.6psi) in manual mode its just whole numbers. I'm JUST have the greddy kit and i'm not trying to pop. think i would be ok @6psi?

 

it is in manual mode...

 

i wasn't aware that you could set your boost in half numbers in manual mode.....

 

it is a percentage over the wastegate spring, you can set it in small increments

 

What is the Gain at? On the 12psi, and the 16psi pulls, were they the same gear, same starting rpm?

oooook i see....

 

I have never experienced that in the manual mode.

Honestly, the Greddy boost controllers are some of the worst I have used. The e-01 is still recommend for those running an eManage blue, since it integreates fully with the eManage. But now that many of us have switch to the eManage Ultimate, they should consider a more advanced boost controller, such as the HKS EVC, or the Blitz SBC ID. One uses a stepper motor, the other uses a dual solenoid approach, for much better boost response, and more stable boost pressure. My e-01 is pretty jump at high boost, as was Gman's when we tuned his car.

 

I have used the blitz in a few of my cars, and run one in my evo. Very simple to set-up, and use.

I like the avcr and have used that for years. It really depends on the build for which EBC i would reccomend. I will 100% agree greddy is among the worst.

I wanna check out the new blitz

 

profec e-01 for sale...hahaha

the settings are not of importance in my problem here, i think the solenoid is just jacked...it boosts as though the boost controller is off at times and at times like it should (16psi)...i need a new one for this amount of pressure

 

My votes for the HKS EVC... but the AVC-R is sexy....
