finnigan001 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Feeling like a bit of noob here but having an issue with my car. Trying to pin point it. I've narrowed it to either torque requestors or MAP sensor. Having an issue that when i try target boost over 17psi or boost goes over 17-18psi i get what feels like a boost cut. So originally i thought is was over boost but i disabled that. I've gone through most the traction control settings turning them off one by one. Nothings has any effect so im thinking MAP sensor. If i peg it 16psi i haven't really noticed the 'boost cut'. Which leads me back to MAP sensor. I think i've read somewhere at some stage the 2 bar MAP is 14psi vacuum and the rest boost which would make sense. Would going over this cause the affect above. A sort of boost cut? Funny thing is i've never read about anyone changing there MAPs for running 20-23psi on E85. HALP ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnigan001 Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 So doing a little more trawling. I found the link below which is exactly the issue. Everyone seems to be able to run higher. https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83691-fg-map-sensor-is-it-1-bar-if-so-what-happens-if-you-go-over-1-bar/?tab=comments#comment-1352787 Is there something else at play here i'm missing. I notice there is a TMAPControl in the customOS and is set to TMAP switch to boost sensor after TMAP_Volts. I'm confused here. Thought the TMAP was the boost sensor?? Maybe there is some other setting i'm supposed to shut off? Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl@pcmtec Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Finnigan, The stock TMAP and Boost sensors for the turbo Falcon are rated to 255 Kpa. 100Kpa is atmospherics pressure so 155Kpa of boost or about 22.5psi. It is more likely you are exceeding the voltage limits for the boost and TMAP sensors which will cause the clip. Raise these to 5.0V and see if that resolves the issue: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnigan001 Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 This was it! Crazy. I wonder how the guys using HPtuners get around this because as far as i could tell there isn't away to change those values. This seems to be my boost cut issues in various incarnations of my car as well! Thanks once again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland@pcmtec Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Something else you might like is we have "tmap switchover" logic in the custom operating system. This means you can run a 4bar boost sensor with the stock TMAP sensor. Then at a given tmap voltage it will switch over to using the boost sensor for the speed density logic. This means you retain the factory tmap resolution down low, but you can run 30psi without pegging the load/air mass. Remember that by setting the limit to 5v, you do lose some safety protection for overboost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnigan001 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hey Rolls, Yeah i thought i had it setup properly but was still getting the cut. In TMAPControl "TMAP Configuration" its set to switch to boost sensor after TMAP_Volts auf100000 "Voltage to switch over" is 4.15 So maybe there is something not right with my original CustomOS or i'm missing another value somewhere to change(this is more likely ) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland@pcmtec Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I didn't realise you had already set that up. It will still trigger an overvolt condition even though it is reading from the boost sensor. So as Darryl suggested set it out of range to 6v or something. Then just use the boost sensor over volt instead for overboost protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMSMotorsport Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Am I right in thinking that with a 3bar tMAP fitted and scaled it will never go over the 15v to trigger the boost sensor as per auF100000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is set out of range on purpose. Set it as per the guide here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMSMotorsport Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Wouldn’t setting it up that way mean it would use the Boost sensor not the TMAP? I guess next time I should change to a bigger boost sensor rather then tMAP and set up this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the point of the logic, you switch over to using the 4 bar boost sensor just before you start pegging the TMAP sensor. You keep the stock TMAP and install a bigger boost sensor only, cheaper, simpler and less stuffing about. You also maintain the stock drivability of the standard calibrated TMAP, you can get good aftermarket TMAPs, but we have seen countless issues of them being installed wrong or having poor resolution at low kpa with certain brands/models. I recommend the 4 bar boost sensor you can buy from IMS as they supply you with calibration data in a parameter file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they should let me return it and swap for the 4 bar boost sensor. Is the factory boost sensor 2bar? Would that mean I could use the logic to just switch to the factory boost sensor if only running 22psi Edited October 10, 2022 by JMSMotorsport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you would want to look at replacing it if you were going near that value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up sending the 3bar back and got the 4bar boost sensor and set it up as per the custom os Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
