PART NUMBER
FG-EBOOST-
40/60
If the OBS is triggered the e-Boost begins to reduce the boost pressure to half of that set in the OBS parameter. Once this safe pressure is
achieved the e-Boost returns to normal operation.
To change the Over Boost Shutdown enter the
user parameter menu
, then scroll to the OBS parameter. Press and hold the
Mode
button for
two seconds, press the up or down arrow to scroll to the desired pressure. Press the
Mode
button momentarily and the OBS value will be
stored. Press the
Mode
button again to return to
Live
Mode
.
4b. e-Boost Readout
The e-Boost readout can be configured in either Bar, Psi or Kpa, the default setting is in bar. This allows you
to tailor the readout to suit your own preference. The e-Boost readout is factory set to bar. To change the
readout enter the
user parameter menu
, then scroll to the readout parameter. Press and hold the
Mode
button for two seconds, press the up or down arrow to scroll to the desired units, kpa, psi or bar. Press the
Mode
button momentarily and the selected units will be stored. Press the
Mode
button again to return to
Live
Mode
.
4c. Bar Graph
The e-Boost bar graph can be configured to indicate a pressure between zero and full scale, depending on
your
Mode
l this will be either 2.7 bar / 40 psi or 4.1 bar / 60 psi. The bar graph has ten segments, seven
green segments and three red segments. When seven segments are illuminated you have reached the
pressure that has been programmed in this parameter. The bar graph has been factory set to one bar.
To change the bar graph enter the
user parameter menu
, then scroll to the bGr parameter. Press and hold
the
Mode
button for two seconds, press the up or down arrow to scroll to the desired pressure. Note, the
number that appears in this parameter will be in bar, psi or kpa, depending on what has been set in the
readout parameter, see section 4b for more detail. Press the
Mode
button momentarily and the bGr
pressure will be stored. Press the
Mode
button again to return to
Live
Mode
.
4d. Setting Boost Pressure
The e-Boost-40 is capable of controlling boost pressures up to a maximum of 2.72bar (40psi or 272kpa).
The e-Boost-60 is capable of controlling boost pressures up to a maximum of 4.08bar (60psi or 408kpa).
Boost pressure is determined by the boost set point value. The boost set point value can be set from 0 to 99
and is not directly related to an actual boost pressure. Boost pressure is set by increasing or decreasing the
value of each of the three boost set points. Increasing the boost set point will result in a higher boost
pressure and vice versa.
The boost set point changes the effect that the e-Boost has on the pressure signal going to the wastegate actuator. A boost set point of 0 will
have no effect on the actuator and therefore you will produce standard boost. A setting of 99 will result in the turbo producing as much boost
as it can. Realistically the boost set point will be somewhere in the middle of this range.
The e-Boost can store three different boost pressure settings, we refer to the different boost pressures as set points, SP1, SP2 and SP3.
Note, SP1, SP2 and SP3 are factory set to 30, 40 and 50 respectively. When the e-Boost is powered up it will default to SP1, we recommend
that you enter a boost pressure that is used most often in SP1.
Step 1:
To access the
boost parameter menu
press and hold the
Mode
button and the down arrow simultaneously. The readout will begin to
flash between the parameter and its value, select SP1 by pressing the up or down arrows.
Step 2:
To edit SP1 press and hold the
Mode
button for two seconds. The set point value will begin to flash.
Step 3:
Apply full load to the engine, in a high gear at full throttle. The
Live
boost pressure will be displayed on the readout. Note, the
number that appears will be in bar, psi or kpa, depending on what has been set in the readout parameter, see section 4b for more detail.
Step 4:
To alter the boost pressure, increase or decrease the boost set point value by pressing the up or down arrow until the desired boost
pressure appears on the readout.
Step 5:
To store this value press the
Mode
button momentarily, this will return you to the boost parameter menu. To exit the boost
parameter menu press the
Mode
button again, the e-Boost will display END as confirmation of exiting the boost parameter menu. This will
return you to
Live
Mode
.
Step 6:
Check that the correct Air/Fuel ratio has been maintained once boost pressure is set
Step 7:
Repeat steps 1 through to 6 for SP2 and SP3
