Boost Wire C15

You have to wait till Mr. Haney reads your thread, He will reply soon as he reads it. He is a very busy man... Be patient mate.

 

I don't quite understand what you're discribing.

When you install a boost wire the ECM will read it as higher boost. If you turn the key on, but don't start the engine..........the electronic dash read out will show you how much your wire is fooling the ECM with a higher boost reading. It should read 0 psi without the wire. With the wire it shows the extra you're fooling by. You want this to read ion the 7-8 psi range, you can make it read higher or lower by raising or lowering the resistor ohm size. 1000 ohm = 7.0-7.3 psi of boost, 1500 ohm = 10.5-11 psi of boost

I don't like using more than 1300 ohms, otherwise you'll increase the soot levels in the oil very fast. I will not build a wire for an early single turbo engine above 1300 ohms and try to talk everybody into a 1000 ohms. The Acert engines can get away with a higher resistance resistor without soot levels increasing to dangerous levels between regular oil changes.

hopefully this asnwers your question

 

i had a 1.5 k on mine worked fine but smoked like an old mack

 

I've seen that in threads before..........I just shake my head in wonder............I wonder how the motors survive

 

It works fine, until you start looking at oil analysis and seeing the soot levels high enough to grind up internal engine parts

 

i tryed the 5 k seamed like it cut the fuel around 35 pound boost i don't have any boost wire now just the fuel wire

 

Between the boost wire and the actually boost being produced the engine was derating due to high boost, the ECM doesn't do this unless it's seeing a boost of roughly 60 psi
