CAP:
Description: Btn
StatCapture:
CAP
In CAP mode, the handlebar button is used to capture current data. When pressed, the Stats Capture
screen will be displayed and the data will be frozen when the button is released. After a capture,
pressing the Right-Arrow button will erase the captured data and return to Run Mode.
ARM:
Description: Btn
On for N2O :
ARM
By using a pushbutton (momentary), toggle, rocker, or slide switch connected to the button input, the
nitrous system can be armed or disarmed. When the switch is closed the system is armed and ready.
Then, depending upon other configuration settings, either the TPS or RPM with TPS can activate the
nitrous system. When the switch is open, the system is disarmed so neither TPS nor RPM will result
in nitrous activation.
Nitrous activation idea: One way to use the button for nitrous activation and to have the RPM limiting feature
(to prevent hitting the rev-limiter), set Btn to ARM, TPS to ON (with a low threshold), and RPM to ON (with
desired Min/Max settings).
Press the Left or Right Arrow to return to the N2O menu or push the “SEL” button to return to the Main
Menu.
VII. Turbo EFI Tuning
Fuel Requirements:
Race gas MUST be used, even for low boost! Detonation will quickly destroy your engine! (see topic in Tuning
Tips)
SUNOCO 112 is recommended and has been determined to be adequate for boost levels up to 14psi. VP fuel is not
recommended - it has been found to have lower octane than other comparable fuels. Other suggested brands
include Unical, Rockett Brand, F&L Racing Fuel, and Trick racing gas. Always use fresh fuel from a sealed barrel.
Spark Plug Gap:
Use new spark plugs and reduce the gap to .018” - .020”. Carry extra plugs – leaded fuel and boost are hard on spark
plugs!
Recommended Control Box Settings:
Call Boondocker for suggested starting numbers.
Boost Controller:
It is recommended to start with the boost controller turned to the lowest boost setting. To find this starting point,
remove the boost controller, loosen the knob all the way, blow through it while tightening the knob until you start to
feel resistance (the valve starts to close off). Make sure the engine is tuned properly before increasing the boost and
watch closely for proper fuel mixture and detonation (see topic in Tuning Tips).
Tuning Instruments:
Air/Fuel gauge:
A good wideband O2 gauge is highly recommended as an effective tuning tool. The sensor will have a limited
lifespan due to exposure to pre-mix oil and leaded racegas, but in many cases it can last for a season and it is a very
valuable tuning tool. If desired, after initial tuning is completed the probe may be removed to prolong its life.
Be aware that too rich a mixture can cause the gauge to read lean due to unburned fuel not being read by the gauge (the
oxygen will produce a lean reading). Whenever the engine is decelerating, your A/F numbers will be lean - these
readings can be ignored. However, whenever the throttle is being applied, pay attention to the readings!
