Hi

Boost controller in question here is the Apexi AVC-R.

 

Today I replaced the auto door lock/interior lights fuse. It had a 15 amp fuse in it and I put the correct 10amp fuse in it. Lights worked ok and clock got reset. I then drove the car tonight and it was losing power when it got into about 0.7 boost (basically once the stock gauge reached about 0.7, the car just lost any power, seemed like the fuel supply had been cut off, kind of juddered a little. I checked the boost controller afterwards and it maxed out at 0.82 bar with 4152 revs. I have had slightly higher boost before, with revs above 5000, so something was definitely not right. Looking at the settings on the boost controller, it was set to OFF and looking at settings for A and B, these seemed to be on the defaults. I think A was on 0.8 bar with 50% duty. And B was on 0.65 bar with xxx% duty. However, I have not had the car long and today was the first time I actually pressed any buttons on the boost controller, so I don't know what its settings were. I believe it was set to run at 1.0 bar though.

 

Is it right that replacing a fuse would reset the boost controller, or does it sound like it might not be wired up correctly. Seems a bit strange to me. :confused:

 

Thanks

It depends where the live feed was taken for the controller mate!

Sounds like it's on the same circuit. ;)

Thanks for replying mate. Yep seems odd though as the manual says that even disconnecting the battery does not lose the settings. The only way to reset it is to actually reset it using the AVC-R initialise setting. I have set it to OFF until I find someone who knows how to set them up. With it being set to OFF, what should be the max boost I can get?

 

Thanks
