Default can i accomplish this with neptune?

one major feature on the hondata s300 that i like is that it can control your boost by gear. if i use a neptune with a greddy probec b spec 2 boost controller, can i accomplish the same?

You can use the boost by gear feature with the PWM through NepTune. There is no reason to use the greddy when you can control the boost through the ecu with a boost solenoid hooked up.

It also has the PWM feature.

i take it that i'll need to buy a boost solenoid for this feature to work? is there a way to manually switch between high and low boost settings with neptune besides for keeping a laptop hooked up in my car?

yes, you can set up a hi-low boost switch and mount it where ever you want.

the boost solenoids are just a MAC valve, which you can get from many places for well under $100.

then just add the EGR components to the ECU and setup the EBC feature in Neptune and you're set. It'll take a little messing around to figure out your duty cycles, but its very easy to use.

Neptune does per gear and RPM at the same time for all gears 1-5 independantly. So it has a lot of control over your boost levels.

I use my AC switch to go from target boost by gear to boost by gear x rpm, works great.

PWM Boost Control is listed under the Boost Control feature set on the website.

easy, it took some research to figure out but it just involves cutting 2 wires at the back of the AC controls on the dash, grounding one and running the other one to the ECU.

nice. aside from weird looks by friends when you press the A/C butten and get a nice little kick that is pretty awesome... would that work for any button like say the cruise control one?

You can hook up any type of on/off button, as long as it's wired up to the ECU correctly.

AC switch? What a nice idea!

You got me thinking... I think I'll hook up mine on one of those sunroof or pole switches...

Just be sure it's a pushbutton switch, not a momentary.
