Is pulling the filter minder shut ok?

[mike@haller's]

Now that I semi have this figured out i'm gonna try to test some more intake systems out and see what I can find. I highly suggest anyone moding out there 6.4 to get this Boost harness from Dustin for the dashdaq. The information it provides is invaluable in setting up and tuning in these different turbo and wastegate setups.

does the harness plug right into one of the ports on the dashdaq?

And btw that filter you posted is a little more of what id expect people with any kind of turbo set up to be running... Hopefully when I do a custom set up, I can make the atmosphere turbo either over a little further towards the fender or angled a little more so the filter and intake tube can almost come straight out.

The harness does plug right into the dashdaq. We sell the harness for 200. Which is quite a bit cheaper than getting mechanical gauges.
Here is the harness.

Only issue I see with plugging this harness and Dustin's other harness into the dashdaq is the amount of ports needed. Be great to capture all the data from various locations during the same run for accuracy sake.

Yeah plugs in and some inputs need to be made about a 30 min install ddepending on what you are doing.

Is that extra map sensor a map sensor for monitoring boost on the low pressure?

That new bigger filter seems to have taken care of the problem. I was thinking about ordering one in that size range, but then started thinking maybe the battery was blocking air flow. Dustin's harness and Mike's work lets us exactly what was happening with hard data. And it matches my blue paint!

Yes, one attaches to the lp turbo. Remember messing with it on Mike's truck at that dyno event?

The problem with that is the dashdaq only allows two external inputs at one time. I wanna build a similar harness for the edge cts since it allows 10 external inputs.

 

[Erikclaw]

Wow, 10? Figured DD would match what ever else that was out there.

You can use it to.read manifold preassure over 60 psi, low pressure Turbo boost
Turbo inlet pressure

I can also set them up to read temps too

Problem is without an additional module you can only add 2 sensors

What would be awesome is if we could get a tuner to relscale the factory map sensor to except say a 8 bar map sensor to read 100 psi. Eric said it's not that easy to do tho.

The main thing on the air filter restriction would be to make a pull and make sure your good
Tune the gates and then recheck at the end to make sure your still good. And maybe also check.over the service period of the filter to.make sure even dirty it still flows enough air

Well done gentlemen. This is really good info to see coming out. Watching, dreaming and scheming. LOL

 

[BFT]

What can you set the DD to monitor? They have that high and low setting.

Huh?

I figure the only dumb question is the one not asked so here it goes. My truck is relatively stock just a Mini Maxx and exhaust and on the wild and hot tunes pulls the filter minder in on any reasonably hard acceleration...is the only way to fix this with an aftermarket intake and a huge filter? My last truck had an S400 and 5" custom intake with a big AFE filter so I never had to worry about this

 

[forcefed6.4ford]

You dont need a huge filter. Just a standard aftermarket intake will do. These guys are playing with big boy parts and the aftermarket hasnt caught up yet.

 

[madman1234509]

So I could use the harness to see how much boost each turbo is putting out to tune a waste gate around the high pressure turbo and into the atmosphere? Or no?.. either way it seems like a good tool.
