BEFORE YOU START – IMPORTANT NOTES
Turbosmart recommends that your E-Boost Street is fitted by an appropriately qualified technician.
Consult your local tuning specialist before setting your boost pressure as setting boost beyond your engines capability can result in
severe engine damage or failure
Turbosmart recommends that the engines Air/Fuel ratio is checked once the desired boost pressure is set. Any increase in boost
pressure can cause the engine to run lean resulting in severe engine damage or failure
Turbosmart recommends that the E-Boost Street is not used in conjunction with any type of "Draw Through" induction System.
Turbosmart recommends that boost pressure is set using a Dynamometer and not on public roads.
The E-Boost Street may not be able to completely compensate for a drop in boost pressure at high RPM due to the turbocharger
operating beyond its maximum efficiency range i.e. incorrect turbocharger sizing or excessive exhaust backpressure.
The E-Boost Street cannot compensate for increases in boost pressure at high RPM due to inadequate waste gate flow capacity;
the turbo system must maintain a steady base boost curve before you start using a boost controller.
The E-Boost Street cannot be used with external waste gates that are in a poor, worn or non-serviceable condition.
For best results your turbocharger should be correctly sized for your application.
Erratic operation of electronic parts can be caused by Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI). EMI can be generated by aftermarket
ignition systems such as CDI which, if wired incorrectly, generate large amounts of EMI through the vehicles electrical system. This
can cause items such as ECU's and boost controllers to be effected. Please follow ignition system installation instructions VERY
carefully to avoid EMI affecting the E-Boost Street. Sometimes, using resistor type spark plugs can reduce this problem.
The E-Boost Street is not waterproof and must be mounted inside the cabin. The unit has an operating temperature range of -5
O
to 70
C.

    SOLENOID HOOK UP METHODS WARNING! Changing to different connection method can cause a higher than expected increase in boost pressure. Turbosmart recommends adjusting your boost controller back to its minimum setting and measuring the new minimum boost pressure achieved by...
  • Page 5: Internal Wastegate Connection

    WARNING! Fitting a higher pressure waste gate actuator may cause a higher than expected increase in boost pressure. Turbosmart recommends resetting the boost set point values to Zero and measure the new minimum boost pressure before increasing your boost set point values.
  • Page 6: Single Solenoid, Twin Parallel Turbocharger Hook Up

    Single solenoid, twin parallel turbocharger hook up (For straight configuration twin parallel turbocharger engines E.g. RB26DETT)  The E-Boost Street is capable of controlling twin internal wastegate turbochargers with a single solenoid.  This method is used when the turbochargers are mounted close to each other allowing the solenoid to be mounted close to both actuators ...
  • Page 7: External Wastegate Connection

    EXTERNAL WASTEGATE CONNECTION The first method of installation is a one port connection. If the desired boost level is not achieved i.e. boost level is too low, or not controllable, it is recommended that the wastegate spring be changed to a spring which is closer to the desired boost pressure or to trial a 2 port connection method.

  • Page 13: Basic Functionality

    BASIC FUNCTIONALITY Unit Layout Display Knob Vacuum/pressure poly tube connector 8 Pin Connector OFF mode The E-Boost Street can be switched off by holding the knob down for 10 seconds. This will disable the functionality of the E-Boost Street and result in wastegate spring tension boost levels. To turn the unit back on, press the knob. Live mode menu LIVE BOOST: Displays the amount of vacuum/boost being read by the unit.
  • Page 14: Setup

    SETUP To enter the setup menu, press and hold the knob for 3 seconds. To navigate through the setup menu, rotate the knob to the left or right for the various options as shown below. To enter any of the menus, press the knob. Once your settings are entered via turning the knob left or right, you can save the setting by pressing the knob once.
  • Page 15: Over Boost Shutdown (Obs)

    The purpose of this feature is to protect your engine against accidentally entering a boost set point value that is too high, preventing a dangerously high boost pressure. Extreme care should be taken when setting this parameter. Turbosmart recommends that you seek advice from an appropriately qualified technician with regard to the OBS setting.
  • Page 16: Setting Sp1 (Set Point)

    Setting SP1 (Set point): The SP value determines the DUTY CYCLE the solenoid will operate at when the gate pressure is reached. The SP value is not the amount of boost pressure your turbo will produce. This is a value between 0 – 99. The larger the value, the more boost the turbocharger will produce.
  • Page 17: Rpm Display Configuration (Cyl)

    RPM DISPLAY CONFIGURATION If you have connected the yellow RPM wire to an RPM signal from your ECU or negative terminal of an ignition coil you will need to input the number of cylinders / rotors in order to configure the RPM signal correctly i.e. the number of pulses per revolution being picked up from the RPM output of the ECU.
  • Page 18: Security Pin (Pin)

    Example: The following boost curve shows that between 5000 and 7000 RPM, the boost drops off from 15 PSI to 10 PSI. Boost curve before COR is setup To reduce or eliminate this boost drop off, you need to input the following values: RP1 = 050 (5000 RPM) RP2 = 070 (7000 RPM) FAC = 100 - [(10 ÷...
  • Page 19: Solenoid Cycle(Sol)

    The following points should be checked if you find that your engine is over-boosting, under-boosting or the boost pressure is fluctuating erratically. Please note the following checks will cure 99% of problems experienced when fitting a Turbosmart E-Boost Street. Check that the E-Boost Street solenoid is installed correctly.
