Responsive Turbo/compounds Thoughts

I see you already found it and beat me to the post LOL

Yup, so it appears it will need to be addressed in a compound setup.

I am sure they make a sensor that is still 5 v that will read higher. I found a number of map sensors (pressure transducers) from Honeywell that would work and had ranged of 50 or 100 psi. If you use a multipler you can mod the range. That was when I was looking for a map sensor to cover a higher range 50 psi was perfect as it could be used straight up.

Been eying one of these for a few years now...but not for EBP.

Just looked, the stock EBP sensor can read up to 50.5 psi, but the stock map in the tuning only reflects 40.6 psi.

That's prob ok for a single, but what happens in a compound setup?

OTOH, does it matter above a certain psi? At what point will the vanes be fully open anyway?

907DAVE · May 30, 2012

Thats what I was thinking too, beyond that the vanes might be fully open anyways....?

You guys post too fast LOL

Very true after that control fcould fall to the waste gates

you are not kidding. My big old gorilla hands have enough issues trying to hit the little keys on a standard key board. Then people go and start speed posting and I get all behind and stuff starting coming out like tiqatrhj9wehjgtow-otejejqwoejt=0w9etjw

Yea as long as it doesn't defuel seems like it wouldn't be an issue.

I would think that in a compound setup the fact that the bps only goes to 50# wouldn't matter.

While I am not experienced in the least with compounds, I would think by that point the vanes would be fully open.

Wouldn't it be possible then to install a regulator to limit the amount of pressure the sensor sees just to preserve the life of the sensor?

I really need to break down and buy the software from bill so I can look at these things when the discussion comes up. This is when stuff really gets interesting!

A 6.4 sensor will read 80 psi off that helps...
