How well does the cycling valve control boost, and how exactly does it work?
I'm doing a bit of research for a new project I'm working on (the 1st gen MR2 I'm turboing), and I'm using a MegaSquirt DIY EFI to control fuel and a MegaJolt Lite Jr. to control spark. I just got the parts to put them together ordered today.
The MegaJoltLiteJr. has 4 programmable outputs that are switched on or off at a given manifold pressure or RPM.
I was thinking I could take the cycling valve out of the 951 (since it doesn't do anything anyways with my manual boost controller) and use it in the 2, running off of one or more of the programmable outputs at desired boost pressures, but I need to know more about how the cycling valve works, what voltages it uses, etc. to see if it would be beneficial to try to rig up my own electronically programmable boost controller. Anyone? Thanks.
