I just bought a Profec E-O1 boost controller and i am trying to devise a way to control my peak boost w/ it. I bought it to program my emanage w/ since i am sick of using my gf's $hity laptop and i figured i might as well use all of its features. Now was originally planning on using a wastegate just like on a turbo setup, but my buddy was telling me you can also hook them up to your BOV to serve the same purpose. He tried explaining it to me but i really wasn't paying attention since i was aggravated w/ the car. Is this possible?

I know that this could cause a issue since my maf is on the non charged side, but i figure i can make adjustments in the emanage to compensate for the air that is dumped out.

This will not be going on until i get the car up and running smoothly because the last thing i need is to create a bigger headache for myself

 

I don't think it can be done since the boost is driven by the speed of the engine and not by exhaust. So you can't force a waste gate to close more or longer to raise boost at lower rpm's.

 

The purpose is to use the smaller 2.62 pulley since the boost will increase the amount of boost seen early in the rpm band as opposed to the 2.87. I am going to use the boost controller function to control the opening point on the wastegate.

All i am trying to avoid is getting to much peak boost. I don't want to run over 11 psi on this motor for the time being.

 

I really gotta ask. Why not go turbo?

I've been wondering that for a long time with all you guys running more than 13lbs. I can understand wanting instantaneous power from the blower but I think that kinda gets negated by traction issues when you're running that kind of power. I'm not being negative here. I just want to understand why it doesn't make sooooo much sense to switch to turbo.

 

This is interesting and seems very possible to do. Or you can try custom spring rate for the BOV that leaks boost at a certain PSI.

 

that may happen, but at this point i really don't want to deal w/ the switch. I am still in college and I drive my car everyday and i just don't see the tubo as something that i can rest easy with. The SC is simple and reliable and very low maitenance.

Plus i want to save my turbo experience for when i graduate. I want to get a Supra or a 240 and just go crazy w/ it

 

yeah i remember maxi-overdose did that w/ the BOV. I just wanted to use the boost controller so i have full control over the amount of boost and so i can raise it if i am feeling frisky

 

Many of us are waiting for Mingo to get some forward facing piping made.

 

anymore thoughts on using the bov controlled by a Electronic boost controller to vent peak boost?
