jus wonderin if any one has had any problems out of them and if its even worth my time to buy one let me know

 

They sometimes work fine. A lot of times they'll give you boost creep because of the way they work. You're better off with a electronic boost controller; they can keep the wastegate shut longer before opening so boost builds faster. The best way to do it is through the ECU instead of an add-on controller, but this isn't always possible depending on the software/hardware available for the ECU tuning.

 

i have the hondata s200 and im pretty sure it has boost options

 

Hondata "boost option" does not mean you'll be able to control a wastegate. It just means that the ECU can conpensate with boost.....

 

hell yea so i shouldjus buy an electronic one then thanks for the info

 

Hatch:

Be careful not too run too much boost for too long. There are plenty of popped engines on the boost controller roadside. Have fun!

Holy shit, a quick and easy thread on Drag? No way.....

 

That post was almost as worthless as this one. Good contribution.

 

I think the S300 has a boost control option, it uses one of the extra unused transmission lockup solenoid outputs if I remember correctly. It was the same trick we used to use on the non-VTEC OBD0 stuff to add a VTEC output.

Why they can't do that with the S100/S200 I don't know. It's usually all done in the ECU code (which is obviously how the transmission output already works), the hardware is the same no matter what.

 

i built my manual boost controller on my old eclipse...never had boost creep or any problems...and it costed me like $12-$15 to build...
