Hey guys,

Had this in my head for a while and was mentioned to me yesterday again.

I've got a Blitz Profec 2 Spec B controller in my car, has the "lo" and "hi" setting.

Now let's say, with any controller, you tuned the engine and maps to 10psi. Car drives great, good power, economy etc.

Now what happens when you drop the controller to a lower setting, say.. 7-8psi? Does this mean the ECU reads the lower pressure and doesn't "use all of it's map"? Is the boost sensor a "multiplier" of sorts? Or will the car run rich as and foul plugs etc because the ECU is tuned for a higher boost pressure?

Thanks!

Yes it uses lower load cells of the map when driving. If your tuner is a muppet he would have tuned in 4th only and never changed the load, so you will need a retune now. If he was a decent tuner he would have adjusted the load so it should be bang on.

<br />I know what the afm is. Theres nothing wrong with my engine im just asking out of curiosity to learn how the mapping works.<br />

Yes, that's the point. The load is measured by the AFM, so the boost level is almost completely irrelevant. Turning the boost from high to low is equivalent to not opening the throttle as far.

/rocket science.

The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
