*** Zip's EBL Preview ***

[Mr Rogers]

[01Prelude]

Sounds very similar to T.O.O.'s boost controller setup except without the Traction Control part.

Hmmm...I didn't know you posted it here too, Nusier. For those who don't know what the EBL is and what it does, go here:

Steven, your unit will be delivered soon enough. I'll throw in the OJ squeezer as well.

Actually, it can control traction if you know how to manipulate the different boost regions on the manual mode. Once traction is gained, hit the scrammble boost, and voila! I'm not taking away anything from TOO since I've never seen his boost controlling device. The EBL features is a collaboration from the ideas of Steven, NuSier, MrRogers, and many others over the past couple of months. The EBL is packed with features that will once and for all get rid of tip-in. The EBL will also help lower peak fuel pressures if all the fuel enrichment features are activated by the user. All the features are user programmable and activated.

All I can say it that unit is tight!!!! Zip is trully a master. When he was at DSR last summer doing testing on this unit everyone was totally blown away!!!! The unit looks like a total ECU in your dash that was professionaly built.
Hey Zip,
Is the data cable going to be included for updates? Also does the unit look like your unit that I saw?
Lets meet up sometime! I know of around 5 JRSC cars around hear that are iching for a demo of this unit like I got!

Hey Mike, the one you saw was really the old version. All that did was control and regulate boost. The new version is completely revamped with features requested by many members on this board and CSi. It doesn't come w/ the EIA-232 cable anymore since all the info is displayed on the LCD in real time.

BTW, how's Lawrence doing w/ the "program"? Last time I talked to him, he was still manipulating the timing and fuel maps.

Here are picts of the EBL:





The housing, LCD, and buttons have already been updated w/ a new look since these photos were taken about a month ago. I forgot to mention that John, of J&S, was also instrumental with this project. It uses the same MAP sensor as the ultra. Thanks John!

Can anyone speculate on whether this will be functional for the Prelude JRSC? I know the electronics should be the same, but I'm not sure about the bolt-in...

It's compatible with any JRSC setup that uses the M62 charger. Only the bracket for the boost controller is changed. Currently, it's only for the 99-00Si, 98-01 typeR and 94-01 GSR.

Bravo Zip you are amazing and a true engineering master. I give maaaaaad props to such a project as yours. Could you implement a traction control like Larry described where you limit boost based on the comparison of the front tire rotation speed to the rear easily by using the abs sensors? psudo code: x=rear rpm, y=front rpm, z=boost limit, if y>x then lower z until x=y for starters. Any news about making these units for Porche like you bragged about when you first prototyped the EBL? Keep up the good work very much as these units are worth more than gold IMO.

So did you finally use a 68HC11 processor or do you want to disclose that zip Nice to see the project came together. Curious if you had a chip burned with the EEPROM program already on chip or if you did it off chip so if you wanted to do a upgrade all you would have to do is a swap of the EEPROM.

Later and excellent work bro!
