configuring boost control in TS to control VVTHi

Post by downside190 »

Hi

A couple of questions really. I've wired up the boost control circuit to control my variable valve timing so would like to know 1 if this is actually working and how to test it is and 2 what settings I should use in tuner studio to get it to behave as I want it, I need the cam to be retarded under 2000rpm advanced over 2000rpm and retarded over 4000rpm.

Thanks

You can use an on/off output, but they only accept one condition in MS1 instead of two. So you could have one RPM switch point.

so i could only have it retarded over 4000rpm and advanced under that? Do you know how to configure this in Tunerstudio?

Thanks i'll check this out when I get a chance.


My only other question how do I test this is working? Is there a way to see if the solenoid is actually working as it should?

Use a volt meter. You will have 12 volts from the solenoid when off and 0 volts when it is on.
