Well this is something I've been working on for several months in the background of everything else going on here at Twisted Tuning. I've mentioned this little project (probably larger meaning to some) to a couple people here and there but never made an actual post about it.
The N54 game has been making leaps and bounds in terms of progress and available support for higher power and features needed to get these engines over hurdle after hurdle. And one of the things we have all seen become an issue is boost control solenoids going bad as well as boost control for single turbos.
Currently this project is more catered toward single turbo boost control focus because they seem to need it most. But this may crossover to upgrade replacements for the OEM vacuum solenoids later on.
I started this project because I did not like the options available for boost control install single turbo converted cars. And I prefer doing as much as possible via the DME which was made for the car rather then added electronics such as JB4, Haltech, other EBC systems that are stand alone and etc.
Tough part for the solenoid is the OEM solenoid operate at a higher than normal frequency which makes most other available EBCS options not compatible with using the factory DME to control them. So I'm looking to makes things easier and change that.
Twisted Tuning Upgraded EBCS:
Pictured above is the final drawing for the EBCS that's currently under construction. A few cliff notes of specs:
Max Operating Frequency: 300hz
Pressure Range: 0-8bar
Ports: 3
In house field testing begins in. Couple weeks. If you are unsure what the need of this is. This will allow direct plug and play connection to the factory boost control solenoid plug and allow DME only Single turbo boost control and possibly down the line a better replacement for the OEM vacuum solenoids.
More to come over to next few weeks. Thanks for reading.
