How the F do I turn off the closed loop boost control?
 
Man, I wish I had never entered any target numbers in the closed loop table. Now that they're in there, it won't let me delete them. :mad:

Here's the problem:
at 4400 rpm I hit target boost ~215kpa
at 5000 rpm ebc pulls duty cycle to ~180kpa
it will then continue to oscilate between 215 and 180 as I continue the pull. MAP looks like a freakin sine wave.

I have to go buy a USB dongle to upload a screen capture, dataloq, and msq. Will do that in a few hours.

Set them all to 70kPa, with the closed-loop kPa limit at 20 or so. That'll effectively turn off closed-loop boost control. That's how the pnp base map turns it off, and has worked well for me. I ended up playing with it a bit, but went back to those base settings and it turned off nicely.

Ben 04-17-2008 09:59 AM

I tried that. :)

I had a bit of trouble changing the values a week or so ago. I had to change the table with the laptop disconnected from MS, save the msq, then load it up. Otherwise, the burning never seemed work. Just another idea...that you've probably already tried.

Ben 04-17-2008 10:03 AM

tried that too

wouldn't mind just removing the feature completely.

Atlanta93LE 04-17-2008 10:04 AM

Good luck.

Braineack 04-17-2008 10:08 AM

under boost control, turn closed loop kPa limit to 0.

Ben 04-17-2008 10:18 AM

tried that too. get some error message, that the minimum acceptable value is 20. :jerkit:

Braineack 04-17-2008 10:54 AM

Fail.

Edit the MSQ by hand?

Code:

<page number="7" size="189">
      <constant cols="6" name="bcBins1" rows="6" units="kpa">
        0 0 0 0 0 0
        0 0 0 0 0 0
        0 0 0 0 0 0
        0 0 0 0 0 0
        0 0 0 0 0 0
        0 0 0 0 0 0
      </constant>

Code:

<constant name="bc_max_diff" units="kPa">0</constant>

Ben 04-17-2008 01:35 PM

seems to me it would need a f/w change, not a s/w change, as I want to disable the PID

scott, you want me to simply change the bins all to 0 and add to the bottom

<constant name="bc_max_diff" units="kPa">0</constant>

Braineack 04-17-2008 01:37 PM

no search the string constant name="bc_max_diff" and change that to a zero.

that would force using table2 which is the duty cycle table. dunno why it wont let you use 0 that's what i've always done.

both snippets above are straight out of my MSQ.

Ben 04-17-2008 01:48 PM

I get it now. I was a little confused, but with the code tags that you edited in, it was no sweat. Thank you, I hope that changing the limit value to 0 will causes EBC to straight ignore what's happening. I edited the table too.

Ben 04-17-2008 09:05 PM

2 steps fprward
 
1 step back

Good news: No more oscillations
Bad news: Here's what all the 0's turned into:

Now what happens is boost shoots up uncontrollably, almost as if there were no wastegate, until it hits overboost protection.

Here's a 70% throttle stab

Here's me modulating boost with throttle position (note: 5th gear to 6k :fawk:)

More ideas?

Ben 04-17-2008 09:08 PM

Also, when I manually edit a .msq with notepad, MT and MLV no longer recognize the file as a .msq. I can still right click and open with, but because MLV won't recognize the file, I can't load the msq for VE Analyze. Which is not good.

Please help. I'm cranky as fuck because the water's shut off, I'm tired and stinky, and can't shower. :mad:
Fucking water main broke up the road.

success
 
These values worked for me. The table remained locked at 10 and the delta remained at 3.

Code:

<page number="7" size="189">
      <constant cols="6" name="bcBins1" rows="6" units="kpa">
        10 10 10 10 10 10
        10 10 10 10 10 10
        10 10 10 10 10 10
        10 10 10 10 10 10
        10 10 10 10 10 10
        10 10 10 10 10 10
      </constant>

Code:

<constant name="bc_max_diff" units="kPa">3</constant>

cool. dunno why i can load zeros throughout mine. i copied that shit straight form my file, however it's still a 029v, maybe why :confused:

at least it's working now....

cjernigan 04-18-2008 10:56 AM

I've found that some MSQs will let you load zeros while other's won't. I could never figure out why some would be ok with it and some weren't, this includes when i ran 029v and other non-hires code.
