Sounds like a great solution, John. However,
are you turbo guys certain cutting the ignition on the trailing coils will
actually reduce your boost sufficiently?? Have any of you (I know, I know
you have alligators up to your ..err.. knees with current situation, but..)
actually tried using your coil test switch to kill your trailing coil while
under boost and observed the effect. Might be worth knowing, if you
haven't - rather than get your hopes up only to find out that Tracy's mod
doesn't give you what you want.
Just a though from an NA guy {:>)

Subject: [FlyRotary] Turbo boost limits
in the EC2
Fellow turbo
people,
I just had a conversation with Tracy
while ordering my EM2.
We
discussed ways to detect and limit overboost. I
suggested that the EC2 is watching MAP anyway, so it could spot a
user programmable boost limit - e.g. 50 MAP being exceeded, and cut the
training coils until the MAP drops below it. At first glance Tracy felt this
was fairly easy to do. He has the MAP data and control of the coils there
anyway, so it would just be a few lines of code [my words, not
Tracy's] to implement.
I agreed
with Tracy to run it by the other blow hards to see if there was a consensus
on whether this would be worth the effort on his
end.
Opinions?
