Motion Lab Tuned 370z 487whp/465wtq on 93OCT with the Boosted Performance 6266 kit!

Is the drop in boost caused by the manual boost controller itself, or the VVEL increasing overlap at high rpm so part of the boost charge is getting blown out

Is the drop in boost caused by the manual boost controller itself, or the VVEL increasing overlap at high rpm so part of the boost charge is getting blown out the other side of the head and the ebc is "solving" that by adding boost as it drops?

I believe boost is added by the EBC in the latter part of the RPM range to compensate for the losses you describe.

I really don't see it as much of an issue unless you like to drive at 7500 rpm and max HP... the midrange power and torque is phenomenal and a slight taper at top end is no real world loss to most people that DD or do not track their cars.

Well, that's one way of looking at it. I'd prefer a solution to dial back out some of the overlap and keep my boost. That way it also stays cooler since we're making life easier for the turbos. They don't have to make extra boost to compensate. Ecutek promised this, but they also promised a bunch of other stuff and haven't done ****. We were teased with VVEL adjustments through Uprev, but it seems like that disappeared as well.
wheee! and elperuano like this.
