Greddy Profec Boost Controllers

[satanic]

Hey guys;

Just got and put in the Profec E-01 - a fascinating piece of kit for a boost controller Come time to set it all up we've hit a bit of a barrier; settings must be wrong or conflicting. Boost goes up to 18psi, boost goes back down to stock, then builds back up to 18psi again...

Now; I've done a bit of research and it would appear that all the key values that can be changed on the E-01 are the same as the Profec B Spec Ii. My question is; how have you done yours (if you got one) and how does it go?

BTW; if anyone has experience or first hand knowledge of how to set the E-01 up, please advise~

Thanks

Stan

Nevermind. Fixed. Just needed to be initialised and then a re-set of all the settings and it was sweet. Holds boost perfectly.

Smart ass

Sounds great. Hoping to have one on my 34 shortly also.

Say stan, did you have a boost controller when you had your original turbo? if so what did you set it at?

[Tragic]

Have you tried the auto settings and letting it set itself?

[satanic]

Howie; had a manual boost controller with the stock turbo... bought a temporary EBC with the new turbo but now it's time to get something a little more serious.

Wouldn't have a clue about the Manual/Auto mode - left it in Mitch's hands

glad it worked out. when i read this post I thought immediately of 2 things. either not enough gain (ie it's reacting too slowly), or it had not done self learn properly.

so what's the verdict? boost curve should be flat as a board now.

At the end of the day, apart from all the fancy bits to it, is this EBC the same as the Profec B Spec II? ie. same solenoid?

[Beer Baron]

same solenoid yes but it has a fair few advantages over the profec BII.

it has an external map sensor

it has a more advanced processor and programming

has logging functions

can be used to control e-manage ecu

looks very fancy

[satanic]

Yep BB, all sorted (cheers for the phone sex last night too )

I'm not sure what the verdict was; Mitch knows the answer to that one. I'm yet to even see the thing working

[Howie]

Stan i worry about you

[satanic]

Thanks Howie - doctor said I was beyond help so meh

Went for a drive in my car tonight (yes it's amazing isn't it); pleased to say that the E-01 WORKS!!!! and boy does it work WELL!!! Very pleased; money well spent! Boost comes on and hits you in the guts like a freight train now!

On a sad note; I smelt a lot of burning rubber tonight

[Mitchee]

Nice one

Auto mode seemed to work with phase 1, but i just couldnt get it to set phase 2... it'd bring the boost down by like 2psi and just not set itself!

But hey, i prefer to set the thing manually anyways.. more control

Now I just gotta teach stan how to use the bloody thing
