MS Overboost protection
 
How does it work? Does it clip fuel/ignition when you pass the threshold?

I ask because I'm running 200+kpa of boost right now and my overboost has been set at 152 forever. :eek5:

yours isn't working then, when it kicks in you'll know it, it just turns the injectors off %100

there is a setting that has to be switched on for it to be activated... can't remember where the hell that setting is off the top of my head... but by default it is not active.

it does a hard cut, so whatever your hard cut rev limiter does it will do.

go to limiter type in more settings and set it up.

set everything to spark cut only and the number 5.

Should I be ignoring the huge red warning that says that spark-cut only is suitable only for straightpiped cars? My car still has a cat.

Braineack 10-12-2007 07:53 PM

that's the stock rev limiter on the miata. spark only.

Braineack 10-12-2007 08:24 PM

Savington 10-12-2007 11:06 PM

You're lucky I'm a lazy asshole who didn't intend to touch it at all until after my two track days this weekend. ;)

Tesseracter 10-12-2007 11:56 PM

so uhh, spark cut only is when you get massive flames outta your tailpipe, right?

Savington 10-13-2007 12:16 AM

yep.

Braineack 10-13-2007 06:47 PM

nah, mine's been on spark only this whole time.

magnamx-5 10-13-2007 07:04 PM

My damn MBC has had me hitting boost cut all to often lately the cold weather and my stiff new spring are fucking with me. :td:

Unless, of course, you have a cat, and it is now nearing the end of its functional life.
