BTM installed ( problems)

Hey man, it's no big deal. I didn't really clarify some things in my original post.

I had the same "bogging" problem when I installed my MSD6BTM..... You know what cured mine? ...... A new BTM. The pressure sensor in mine was bad. Just a thought.

Hmmm...OK, let's clear things up a little more. This "bogging" that kameleon experienced is just the BTM functioning normally. If you read his post again it says that "the car bogs under boost"...which it's supposed to do with the BTM knob set off of zero. So, it's not a problem at all just normal behavior!

Once again..... I am aware of what the BTM module does. Mine "overreacted" and had to be replaced.

Grab a multimeter and measure the impedance of the knob at 0, and slowly turn it to 3.... Make sure there is a variance, your impedance should go up. Could be a bad potentiometer.

Let me post this little thought. I think the BTM works well, but not for making power. Here's why:



I'll also add, I think the ideal (and I think this has been mentioned), would be timing retard by RPM and BOOST. The Zdyne ECU does this, but it's not available for all cars.

next week i will try advancing the timing to to max, and try the btm at .5 or 1 or what ever...
i cant try it this week cause im getting ready for a 5 hour drive to a big car show in Toronto Canada , maybee you heard about it its called DARKNIGHTS the biggest Canadian car show ever( over 1000 cars on display, 750 vendors,50 000 spectators, and also bikini contests) im aiming for the BEST OF SHOW wish me luck.

I thought the whole point of a BTM is to get ride of the bogging when going from a complete stop... to move that bogging to the top end seems a bit useless.
