Exocet EFR
#105
I also used the bicycle pump method to calibrate the EFR wastegate to compare preload vs wastegate crack pressure. The above math, wastegate pressure test and MAC test got me a good baseline without even starting the car and running the risk of running max duty cycle. That seems like a quick way to ventilate a block as compared to working your way from a known baseline.

Set over boost correctly and don't be a retard?
Theres no need to spool it to 25 psi. Go full throttle until 10ish psi and lift. Do this a bunch while lowering duty cycle and compare logs.
It's not rocket science. You can do it in 10 minutes.

..........Or you can just set it up prior to this??
Not being a retard, but I have found the EFR diaphragms to be somewhat inconsistent.What I suggested removes much of the guessing work.
Yes, you can do the overboost protection. Not denying that for sure. But why not get within your desired pressures before even driving off the block??
More than one ways to skin a cat I guess

SO here is a question: If you are not entirely sure what psi the max duty cycle equates to, but are not willing to spool to 25psi (or whatever the upper limit is, or simply you are not entirely sure just how much duty cycle your engine can take or what the EFR gate will actually allow), how will you find the upper limit if you have overboost protection?? So unless your overboost protection is close to max duty cycle (which you have not figured out as of yet), how are you both finding the upper limit and also not essentially going off strictly wastegate with no signal??
Not trying to argue, just curious of another method.
I am just leery of going straight to 100% duty cycle on a EFR diaphragm. Just preferential and cautious as I have had inconsistency with the "stock" EFR diaphragms :(

You look at the spool. When your spool slows down the go back up a little bit and call that your max.
At max duty you will spool your turbo as fast as possible. As soon as you go below max then above wastegate pressure spool will slow down. It might actually slow down before that if the wastegate is cracking open early.
So you need to spool to higher than wastegate pressure. But not much more.

Looks like it's going to be a boat load of fun.

2) you can't run LESS than whatever the wastegate is rated for. 100% duty will be the same for whatever wastegate as it will see no signal, which will be allofit unless back pressure overcomes spring pressure. not sure what you're getting at there. For example, I set my overboost to 180kpa. Made runs to find what duty got me 140, 150, 170. MS3 closed loop setup mode makes this easier because it holds 100% duty until within Xkpa of your target.
Unless you change your idle control settings to boost and use the idle test, I didn't see a test mode for the boost solenoid. I just changed the settings to allow it to operate at idle and changed the values in the OL table
