Thread: Tiered/Staged Boost? Thoughts??

Hey,

What do you guys think of a tiered boost setup? Having a low-boost setting for 1st-2nd(or mid 2nd) and then high boost for 3-4th? In theory, this should help with traction issues.

Isnt this the same as boost by gear/rpm??

i have the nlr ams 500 on my car now

Same idea, yes. Basically I'm talking about any setup involving more than one(could be 5) boost settings you use during a run. I see this in really high hp cars and I think it'd help us out especially because we're FWD. I'm just wondering if some of you guys have messed around w/it and what were your results? I'm thinking about putting a switch in my car.



How do you like the 2 stages?

p.s. Maybe I should have this moved to the turbo section..

It should definitely help with traction issues. What is the point of having so much power that you can't put it to the ground. If this is a street tire car it will help a ton!

street or drag, eh? Can slicks hold 400whp in 1st-2nd gear? I honestly don't know, but I'd assume not.

You need a pretty good sized slick to hold 400whp in 1st.

The Apexi AVC-R has this feature.

It should be as simple as using a 2 stage boost contoller and fitting a micro switch on the gear lever to set it to low boost in 1/2 then high boost on other gears

Hey,

True true. I'm looking more for people's opinion of having staged boost than how to do it. What are your thoughts??
