Factory Boost Cut Limit


j255c

Recommended Posts

I think its 24.5, but im not positive? I know when i have boost >26 it doesnt go off anymore. Anyone know exactly? Trying to make my pump map still retain a failsafe.

I'm curious on this as well. I was just tuning WGDC for my 18g, had the limit set at 21.5 and I know during a pull it hit 23psi, fuel cut didn't happen. Good thing I have a boost gauge so I let off, no harm done.

your boost gauge and the ECU may have different boost readings depending on conditions and locations.

 

Check your pressure by logging and then adjust the fuel cut accordingly

 

I know that the ecu and gauge may read differently depending on location and condition. My question is: what is the highest psi the factory fuel cut will work at? I know it doesnt work after a certain amount.

 

Thanks,

Jeff

My boost gauge is digital, and only reads in 1psi increments. When it read 23 I was logging and the ecu saw 22.75. My fuel cut was set to 21.5. I'm still trying to figure out why fuel cut didn't happen.

 

Fuel cut doesn't happen instantly, even if you exceed the fuel cut boost threshold. Like most other failsafes and CEL's there is a delay built-in. MRP must exceed the threshold before fuel cut and CEL. You must not have exceeded the threshold for the entire delay time. Makes sense since you saw it on your boost gauge.

 

I overboosted past my fuel cut boost threshold once when I began tuning my VF52. I don't have a boost gauge. I was logging at the time. The ecu allowed me to exceed the threshold for a period of time.. It's very evident in the log. I wish I could remember how long the delay is... but it's longer than I would have thought...

That makes sense. Is the delay time adjustable? I don't remember seeing a delay when going through the tables, but I'm still a newb so I might have just missed it.

It depends on your atmospheric pressure, at sea level it is about 23.5 psi. The lower you atmospheric pressure the higher the reading. Boost cut can be set at the absolute limit of the MAP sensor's reading capability. At your boost levels you should be running a 3.5 bar sensor.

If I remember right, there's a parameter in the logger definitions that isn't subject to the ~22 psi limit. There's a thread over there that lists all of the parameters with some notes about their quirks...

Nope, it is suppose to be MRP 4-byte. However if the MAP sensor cannot read it the ecu can't report it. You sitll need a MAP capable of seeing it.

Manifold Absolute Pressure (Direct)* (2,4) -> The standard SSM parameter, 'Manifold Absolute Pressure' is limited to about 37 psi absolute (about 22 psig at sea level). This new parameter has no effective limit.

Its limit in combination with the stock MAP sensor is 2.5 bar ;)

If you swap it for an AEM 3.5 bar sensor its limit will be 3.5 bar absolute.
