4a. Over Boost Shutdown – VERY IMPORTANT!
In order to successfully program your e-Boost you MUST carefully follow this section.
The Over Boost Shutdown or OBS is a very important safety feature of the e-Boost. The OBS must be set to a SAFE level at least 0.15 bar
(2.2psi or 15kpa) above the highest boost pressure you want to produce. The OBS is factory set to 0.48 bar (7 psi or 48 kpa), so you must enter
a figure in order for the e-Boost to produce more than standard boost pressure. The purpose of this feature is to protect the user against
accidentally entering a boost set point value that is too high, preventing a dangerously high boost pressure. Extreme care should be taken when
setting this parameter, Turbosmart recommends that you seek advise from an appropriately qualified technician with regard to the OBS
setting.
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
