Following along.

 

So I could limit timing via torque management through the ECU in 1st gear, and then once in second gear say > 60mph remove all torque managment for full power? Are there any ill side effects of removing timing while cramming 10lbs of boost in the motor?

Is there anyway to write your own custom programs inside of the ECU for these types of setups? Like re-program a PIN on the ECU for boost control output via pwm? I guess whats what stand-alone systems are for huh

 

False. Torque management only changes anything at the SHIFT. Even if you change TM to max% you will still have full power up until the shift.

 

Could you use the traction control settings, to "hold it back" until it gets to an rpm/gear where it's not able to spin any more?

 

Install a 4wd button and be done with it

 

no no, depending on the year, torque management works with traction control and can cut torque at anytime it wants. you have to set the settings to get it right. you can set up the throttle body to close to allow for certain amounts of torque. its all there you just have to mess with it. its the same thing that causes the "lag" on drive by wire tb cars and trucks. when i got my Tahoe you could mash the pedal and it would slowly take off. after some tweaking the throttle response was that of a cable tb.

 

I have 4wd, just don't want to have to throw it in 4wd every time I'd want to hit boost while driving around town.

Can you use TM all of the time in a 2008 ecu?

 

Bringing this back from the dead...been thinking about this more and more.

Found this chart which shows what solenoids are energized per gear. I'm thinking I can use a microcontroller's digital inputs to read these conditions and determine which gear is activated, and based on what I program in the controller, set a specific boost level per gear. The system will also have an analog input to read boost pressure, and a pwm output to control a solenoid valve to open/close the wastegate, in effect create my own electronic boost controller for a fraction of the cost. I think this would be pretty cool to have on our GM vehicles

Just one problem...I need a turbo first! lmao

 

I can help you with that part!

 

Check this out ! Its boost by speed it works by hooking it up on abs front sensor and it works with our trucks.
