Boost configuration menus
Next step is to look into the menu
M5 / Boost setup
.
Boost setup menu
The Autronic SM4 has three different
Boost setpoint
tables, that can be selected by external
switches, or let the Autronic select them depending on which gear is currently engaged.
For more information on selecting
Boost setpoint
table depending on which gear is engaged,
please read chapter 0 nedan. Otherwise disable it by setting both
Boost setpoint 1-2
and
Boost setpoint 2-3
to 300.
For more information on selecting
Boost setpoint
table by external switches, please read
chapter 0 nedan, on how to select input switches to select
Boost setpoint
table.
If neither gear ratio, nor input switches is used to select between the three
Boost setpoint
tables, the SM4 defaults to use the
Boost setpoint 1
table.
Next two parameters in the menu is
Over boost margin
and
Over boost time
. These
parameters determine when the SM4 will use
boost cut
to limit the boost pressure and avoid
damaging the engine, by shutting off the fuel injectors. If the actual boost pressure is higher
than the wanted boost pressure plus the
Over boost margin
, for
Over boost time
seconds,
the SM4 will cut fuel to the engine until the boost pressure is down to safe values. At the same
time an
Overboost error
condition will be logged in the
ECU error history
.
If the actual boost pressure is over the wanted boost pressure, and is getting near the level of
wanted boost pressure plus
Over boost margin
, the SM4 will begin to control the boost control
valve more aggressively, to try to avoid the overboost error.
