Greetings,
Below you
will find a message I received from turbosmart in Oz. The guy who's
(almost certainly) buying my RX-7 mentioned that he had a really nice boost
controller that he'd be installing. It was the E-boost, and he said it
had absolute pressure capability. As a public service to you
turbo guys, I sent them a message to see if this was true, and as you can see, I
didn't even hide the fact that it was for an airplane. This sounds
like a nice controller, but the guy I talked to said it was about $500. I
didn't find a place with a price listed online, so you can check for
yourself. Even though it's expensive, it sounds like just the ticket for
aircraft use, since it's the only controller I've seen that will work on
absolute pressure.
Of course,
the controller won't help, until you get a wastegate/turbo combination that is
capable of being controlled.
Cheers,
Rusty (don't
think it will work for a supercharger)
Hello Russell ,
Thankyou for your enquiry,
Yes
the e-boost controller will work fine for your project. E-boost is
fitted with an Absolute MAP sensor and will provide the same performance at
different altitudes.
If
you have any pics of your project they would be interesting to see. Good
luck with it.
Please check out our website at

authorised dealers in your area and further information on our

Greetings,
Can
your eBoost controller regulate boost based on absolute pressure? In other
words, if I set the boost for 5 psi at sea level (about 40 inches mercury), then
climbed to 10,000 ft, would your controller maintain 40 inches automatically, or
would the pressure drop along with the outside pressure? As you know, most
boost controllers are differential pressure devices, and aren't really all that
good for aircraft
use.
Thanks,
Rusty
