<\/a>RPM vs Speed vs Boost PSI<\/p><\/div>\n
RPM is shown on the left Y axis, and Boost PSI on the right Y axis.\u00a0 Speed in MPH is along the X axis.<\/p>\n
Boost is certainly spikey measured this way.\u00a0 There may also be other factors involved.<\/p>\n
The Boost PSI is calculated by comparing the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) with the V’s Barometric calculation (Baro).\u00a0 One can see that the V does not shift at exactly the same RPM at 1-2 and at 2-3 although I believe they are both specified to shift at 6500 RPM.<\/p>\n
This is the same graph with some smoothing done by averaging of values, 2 prior to and 2 after each point.<\/p>\n
<\/a>RPM vs Speed vs Boost PSI Smoothed<\/p><\/div>\n
Finally, here is a graph showing boost in the target range of 4500 RPM to 6500 RPM with boost in 1st gear shown in blue and boost in 2nd gear shown in red:<\/p>\n
<\/a>Boost by RPM by Gear<\/p><\/div>\n
Summary<\/h2>\n
My conclusion is that boost is in fact higher in 2nd gear than 1st gear.\u00a0 This is perhaps due to more air flow into the intake at speed?\u00a0 I am not certain.<\/p>\n
On the graph Boost appears to settle around 9 PSI at high RPMs.\u00a0 Boost in this dataset peaks at 9.86 PSI which in the smoothed set is 9.43 PSI.\u00a0 The STS-V was designed for 12 PSI of boost.\u00a0 If we assume the supercharger makes 12 PSI of boost then this reading after the Laminova tube intercooler suggests that the pressure drop of air across the intercooler is 2.57-2.14 PSI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Taking an export from my HP Tuners datalog, I have been doing a bit more data analysis of various parameters. Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but there appears to be a ‘hiccup’ in the csv export of the HP … Continue reading
