Hey,
I'm taking a crash course review of 4 years of college right now. I never took any classes on controls at school, looking for a little help with a discusison topic for a report I'm writing.

An EBC is esentially just a PID controller; that is why there are three adjustable ***** on the front of the unit correct? I am just wondering what form of input and from where the controller takes. I assume just voltage as a function of manifold pressure. This signal in conditioned to activate the electric solenoid that opens or closes the vacuum line going to the wastegate, correct? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
~SKY~

Yes, electronic controllers are PID controls. I'm not sure the specifics of all the different ones, but with the Motec you have gain, derivative, and average position to set. From the little i know about PID controls, there are quite a few different control types.

 

Thanks, anyone else have any more info? I'm looking through manuals from different companies as well right now...
