Whooo-hooo! Found my boost!

[S10xGN]

Hiya!

After installing my BsTC controller with 2 WG solenoids, I found I could only get 18# with the knob set full clockwise. After some serious head-scratching, I decided to put all the boost hoses back to stock, in the process, removing the "grainger" type valve that I had added. Now with the knob at 50%, I can get 22.5# in 1 & 2, pulled back to 18# in 3rd. I believe there's more room in 3rd with the propane and all, but will sneak up on it.

My BsTC settings so far: main setting knob: 50%; TPS screw: 0%; 3rd gear screw: 50%. This has forced me to set the propane to 100% DC with the largest jet!

I'll try and make a G-Tech run tomorrow... has anyone considered swapping G-Tech Comp runs? I'd love to see what other's cars are doing. You can DL the reader program from G-Tech HERE. I'll post my run(s) on my webpage as soon as I can.

Hmmm,

No matter, my runs were quite disappointing... Both runs were 13.4's and I'd have expected mid 12's for a minimum. If you want a look, here they are: G-Tech runs. If you don't have a G-Tech recorder, you can get the reader software from the above post.

i was wondering since a gtech is a device that basically reads lateral Gs and computes times/numbers from that i assume then if you run and soin like crazy then it would read slower then actual since with the tire spin you lose forward push?

G-techs are accurate to within a tenth or 2 of actual 1/4 times. The mph on the g-tech will read higher because it measures your actual speed at the end of the 1/4 and not an average of the last 60 feet or so like at the track. And even if it is not dead on accurate with the track, they are still excellent tuning investments as you can measure if you are actually improving your mph.

The G-Tech runs are very accurate as far as consistency goes but only in one car. The problem with using lateral G forces, is that if a car rises in the front and squats in the back, gravity will cause the G-Tech to read forward motion. However since your car will rise and squat aboutthe same on every run it will give consistent results. Basically it is more accurate in some cars than others, but is always very consistent. Just take it to the track to calibrate it for your car.
