Electronic boost controller solenoid question

I have a blackbird engine which has a rotrex running off tje end of tje crank.

I'm to use a dta s60 to manage it all.


Am I correct that the dta can be setup to run a solenoid, as most of tje ones on eBay come with a fancy dan boost controller.


Which I don't think I need.



Cheers

I would think your DTA would run a boost control solenoid, and i know MS has that capability as well. In fact, ive just looked and it does control boost control solenoid via a PWM output.

Youll need a stepper motor or proper boost solenoid though.

I use a AEM solenoid with a S80, this one http://www.efi-parts.co.uk/index.php?productID=222. The solenoid works pretty well but oddly the dynamic range does depend on which way around you plumb it in, for a wastegate a "normally closed" config is best although a "normally open" would of course be safer. I don't use PID, just directly set duty cycles %.

Im busy looking at managing the Rotrex boost with a solenoid opening/closing a wastegate.

Just out of interest, why are you looking to control boost when using a Rotrex? normally if the blower is sized and geared correctly that should be it?
