OFT and innovate supercharger
 

Does anyone know of or have any base maps for a innovate supercharger on the open flash tablet?

Guess not. I've been sniffing around for a starting point too. If I can't get something lined up that I am comfortable with I may ditch the OFT and go with Innovate's supplied tune. My knowledge isn't as strong as I'd want it to be for starting cold on a tune like that.

I love OFT, but if I go with a kit turbo/SC that isn't either the electric SC or Vortech, it looks like I'll have to ditch it :(

You will want Ecutek anyway for the additional features and safety functions it has with boosted applications.

The only safety feature currently missing in the OFT is over boost fuel cut which only applies to turbo (not SC) applications. But I think this may no longer be the case soon. If also argue that having digital realtime gauges and alerts is useful too ;)

more info please!

Shiv, my loyalty remains as I have said before in some other threads. I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys do with Jackson's SC, Innovate SC, and maybe even a turbo kit...

No info to give at this time. But I am actively working on overboost protection in some form. I don't think it's going to be a very daunting task but it will take some time to get it implemented.

Please educate me on this (no sarcasm intended, I'm serious).
Fuel cut as overboost protection just seems wrong to me. You have a turbo pumping massive volumes of air into an engine and abruptly reduce the fuel. Isn't this a recipe for a horrifically lean condition? Wouldn't it make more sense to protect the engine by backing off timing and/or closing the throttle a little until the boost comes back in line?
I'm sure there's a piece of the puzzle I'm missing or don't understand. Can someone explain?

If there is zero fuel there is zero boom. Takes one revolution of the engine to evacuate the fuel so if the threshold is set low enough it's a very safe and immediate kill switch. At least that is how I picture it working.

I had a vision of it cutting off in mid spray. All it takes is one revolution to kiss a rod goodbye. I suppose properly executed fuel cut on a modern car would be done by simply not firing the injector on the next cycle, which would work the way you describe. I was thinking too old fashioned and envisioning literally stopping the supply somehow instead of simply disabling the injector between cycles.

I could be wrong :). I'm just assuming that's how it would/ could be done. They may cut spark first or something too. I'm old school as well so was just kinda reasoning it out. I'm curious to know how exactly it's done too. I've never personally tuned anything more complicated than obd0 and carbs so I'm right there with ya ;). Just seems the simplest, safest explanation I can think of.

My understanding is that it stops injector pulses which does mean no fuel for the boom. Then you are just pumping air into the engine and even if you somehow manage to cram 200psi into the cylinders (say 50psi compressed via stroke to 200), it is still low enough for the engine to handle. Note, my pressure numbers were pulled from my ass and could be horrifically low... but it still isn't a problem.

Sorry to revive an old thread. However, I'm looking to pick up this kit from a member on here and currently have an oft. I would like to keep the OFT and run the kit with a OTS/Base tune until i can drive it down to a tuner. Just looking for any updated info on this combo.

Could a tuner open source tune this combo with open flash/tactrix or something and then load the final result to oft

If you can keep it in closed loop, no issue running it on any OFT map.

I could certainly help a little with info as I have learnt a fair bit doing my sprintex setup.

I have a decent distance to drive to get to a tuner not to mention find one that will work on the oft instead of ecutek. With that said. keeping it in close loop would be near impossible. I was hoping the openflash folks were working on a tune for this kit and have an ots tune for it. Or even someone had a tune for this kit they would share or even at a cost that i could use with the oft.

Subaru Shops are littered with RomRaider Tuners. I can't imagine it is that hard to find unless you don't have decent Subaru shops in the area.

What our customer base has shown is that if the tuner doesn't have an innovate/sprintex equipped car, you should probably look elsewhere. It took many months and thousands of miles, hundreds of flashes to get it right. Otherwise things seem ok on the dyno, and maybe even a drive or two. But invariably after a few gas tanks dead spots and knock rear their head and that's where you simply need to have the car for testing to get beyond those issues. You likely have 20+k in the car and the supercharger kit, you'd be best served by selling the OFT and getting a proper EcuTek based tune for it. All said and done it will only cost a couple hundred more. For the basic supercharger kits we even started doing rentals again because of how quick it goes and how consistent they are.

SC tune
 

Shiv,

Curious if there's anything out with other SC tunes with OFT?

Apologies if this question has already been answered!

-SS

It seems like Cusco chose the same hardware for their version of SC.
I doubt it will be open source tune, but I thought this looks cool. :) @Shiv@Openflash

SC Applications
 

Shiv,


Any news on when we will have anything new with OFT for other SC options besides Vortech?
