Improved on the E-Boost?, what did he improve on?Magic wrote:Me too have one .
Works great . He basically inproved on the E-Boost 2 !
i'M HIS NEIGHBOUR .
Can't get closer than that ! Can't really go wrong . like I said , best part the price . Even has speeed swithching . Which means you can pull away on 1 boost level and increase the boost with speed automatically , also the speed the wastegate opens and sensitivity . Really kewl .
Did you look at the E-Boost 2 specs?
They worked with the e- boost extensively on other cars .
Take nothin away from the e boost , fantastic product .
Many of the guys just want basic boost controlling features .
The 1 st gauge has this covered .
The 2nd one has many other small features which allows one to really
personalize the way you boost . Be that speed , gear change sensitivity
and level of boost where you want it . Especially with cars with much wheelspin off the line etc.
I'm not the salesman , I've just seen the two in action and I think for the price I would spend on the E boost $$$ i'd rather get a locally made product for a fraction of the price with full back up support right here .

Local backup support is an advantage but I think very few people actually take full advantage of the E-Boost 2's functionsMagic wrote:They worked with the e- boost extensively on other cars .

Take a look below:
4.1 LIVE MODE
4.1.1 Live Boost
4.1.2 Live RPM
4.1.3 Current Set-point value
4.1.4 PHb – Peak Hold boost
4.1.5 PHr – Peak Hold RPM
4.2.1 SP1 – SP6 - Boost Pressure Setting
4.2.2 GP1 – GP6 - Gate Pressure Setting
4.3.1 ObS - Over-Boost Shutdown VERY IMPORTANT!
4.3.2 CYL – Cylinder Selection
4.3.3 SCL – Pressure Unit Scale for Main Readout (PSI/KPA/BAR)
4.3.4 LE1/LE2 – Shift/Warning LEDS
4.3.5 bGr - Bar Graph
4.3.6 AL - Audible Alarm
4.3.7 nSP – Number of Set Points(6)
4.3.8 rES – Factory Reset
5.1 AU –Auxiliary Output
The e-Boost2 has an auxiliary output function designed to control an auxiliary device once a certain boost pressure or RPM value is
reached i.e. water spray, water injection, warning light or nitrous controller. This circuit must be used to control an automotive relay with
a maximum current draw of 2 amps.
There are four options bOn, bOF, rOn and rOF. The boost setting on (bOn) and off (bOF) value will be entered in the units that are
currently selected for display. Between the bOn and bOF values the auxiliary output circuit will be closed and therefore will switch the
relay on.
5.2 dS1 –dS6 – Delayed Switching
This function is for use with set point switch logics ISP/ESP/SSA/SSB and is designed to create a delay between set point switching and
activation. The time delay will be between when a subsequent set point is switched and when it actually changes i.e. the current set
point will continue functioning until the time delay has elapsed. dS1 in boost group 1 applies to the time delay when switching to SP1,
dS2 in boost group 2 applies to the time delay when switching to SP2 and so on.
5.3 PIn –Password Protection
5.4 COR – Offset Correction Function
5.5 rSP – RPM Based Set Point Mapping
5.6 Switch Logic (SL) ISP/ESP/SSA/SSB/SSC/SSD/SSE
The e-Boost is factory set for internal set point switching where the up and down arrows are used to switch set point, but can be
configured for external set point switching using externally mounted switches to trigger inputs to ground in conjunction with a switch
logic (SSA to SSE).
SSb Sequential Switching Function B –- Allows you to sequentially switch up and down between different boost settings using
external switches. This switch logic could be applied in a situation where you want to have a different boost levels in each gear.
- Earthing the green wire with a switch will switch up a single set point.
- Earthing the green wire again will switch up another single set point.
- The maximum number of set points that can be switch up to is determined by nSP in the setup menu.
- Once the maximum set point is reached through switching (note: will only switch up to SP6).
- Earthing orange with a switch will wire switch down a single set point.
- Earthing the orange wire again will down another set point. (note: will only switch down to SP1).
SSC Timed sequential switching function C allows the boost groups/set-points to be active then switched at predetermined time
intervals. This switch logic could be applied in a drag racing situation where you want to switch boost levels at know time intervals within
your elapsed time (ET).
- With SSC active dS1-dS6 will appear in each boost group.
- These time intervals can be entered as the amount of time you want each set point to be active before switching to
the next set point.
- Time delays are in increments of 1/10th of a second, with the maximum allowable being 99 seconds.
- dS1 will refer to the amount of time SP1 is active before switching to SP2, dS2 to the amount of time SP2 is active
before switching to SP3 and so on.
- Earthing the orange wire with a switch will reset the timer and switch to SP1/BG1.
- Earthing the green wire will start the timer and the time interval dS1 during which SP1 will be active.
- At the end of the time interval dS1 the unit will switch to SP2 and SP2 will be active for the time interval dS2.
- The same procedure will happen for all active set points (determined by the nSP parameter in the setup menu)
- Once the last time interval has ended the unit will continue to operate at the final set point.
- Note to skip a set point/boost group set the dS parameter for that group to equal zero.
- This is a solely time based switching method and is not dependant on switching except for the reset to SP1
(earthing the orange wire) and a GO (earthing the green wire) which will start the timer.
SSD Sequential switching function D is an advanced boost level switching function where you can configure a time delay to give
either a drop in boost or a spike between switching boost levels. For example in a drag racing application you may want lower your
boost during launch to maintain traction and spike your boost during gear changes to compensate for a drop in RPM.
SSE Timed sequential switching function E allows the set-points to be mapped and switched during a predetermined time interval.
ove on to the next point.

Absolutely Fantastic .
Like I said I'm not the salesman , just have one of the latter fitted and works fine . If more info is needed then the supplier/builder should be contacted .
I think you made a valid point about not all the functions necessarily being used on EB . But doesn't this also highlight that many peps are just wanting basic reliable controlling of their boost without all the drama or $$$?
Ps: What does EB Cost at the mo anyone?
