Main Menu- Monitor, Setting, etc. (note, whilst in a sub-menu of either Monitor or Setting you can press the "Next" and "Prev" keys at the same time to toggle between your location in the Monitor sub-menu and the Setting sub-menu. eg Graph mode of Monitor, press "Next" and "Prev" and go to the RPM based tuning of the duty cycle. Press "Next" and "Prev" again to toggle back to the graph screen)

Monitor - Monitors Boost, Engine RPM*, Road Speed, Throttle Position, Boost solenoid duty cycle or Fuel Injector duty cycle*
1 channel - Monitors 1 variable (press the up/down key to choose a variable then press the next key)
2 channel - Monitors 2 variables # then press next key
3 channel - Monitors 3 variables # then press next key
4 channel - Monitors 4 variables # then press next key
Rev. [Y] - See 2 Dimensional Trace Mode below

Number Display Mode, Graph Display Mode and Analog Meter Display Mode can be cycled through in monitor mode by pressing the Next key. During any of these mods, the following keys have the following functions:
Up key - Peak Hold Function - shows the peak value for the variable(s) chosen along with current value ~
Down key- Turn off Peak Hold Function
Left key- Data Hold Function - freeze the display at that point in time. Press again to return to real time display
Right key- Reset the Peak hold value for the variable(s) chosen

Graph Mode Memory Replay Function
Whilst in graph mode, it is possible to record date for a certain amount of time (1 channel = 60 seconds, 2 = 30, 3 = 20, 4 = 15). Press the Up key to begin memory capture and then the Down key to terminate (once the time period is reached recording will be stopped automatically). Press the right key to start and stop the replay, and the down key to terminate the memory replay.

2 Dimensional Trace Mode
Allows graphing of one of the 6 variables on the vertical scale with RPM on the horizontal scale
- Use the Up/Down keys to choose the variable to log and then press the Next key
- Once in graph mode, use the Next key to cycle between 1 point display, 10 point cyclic display or Continued Ghost map trace display
- The Left key can be used to hold the display
- The Right key is used in Ghost map mode to clear the display

* - The AVCR has a purple wire which can be connected to either fuel injector duty cycle or the engine RPM. This wire must be connected to RPM for RPM based boost. Mercury Motorsport can install a custom harness so that both features are available.

# - Use the Up/Down key to choose a number which corresponds to a variable, press the Right key to highlight this variable and then use the Up/Down keys again to choose another variable to monitor. Press Left key to lock this new variable to be monitored.

~ - if monitoring 3 or 4 channels, peak hold values will replace real time values. Peak hold values displayed in conjunction with real time values in 1 and 2 channels.

Press the Prev key to return to the previous menu at any time.

Setting - Sets AVCR off (wastegate boost), "A" boost setting or "B" boost setting are changeable by pressing the Right key.
Boost/Duty - Setting Boost and Duty cycle levels
Scramble - Scramble Boost Setting
NE-Point - Engine RPM Specific Boost Control
F/B Speed - Feedback Speed Setting
Learn Gear - Gear Based Learning
Start Duty - Initial solenoid valve duty cycle for boost control in gear based correction

Boost/Duty - Click here for more information on tuning boost/duty cycle
Single Value - Use the Up/Down keys to toggle between Boost and Duty Cycle. Press the Right key to access the adjustment for that value, and then use the Up/Down keys to alter the Boost or Duty Cycle to be higher or lower.
RPM Based - When Boost or Duty is highlighted (not the values themselves), press the Next key to access the RPM based Boost or Duty settings. Once in RPM based settings, the Left/Right keys move between the NE points, and the Up/Down key alter the Boost and Duty Cycle to be higher or lower. Press the Next key to alternate between RPM based Boost and Duty cycle settings. Once RPM based boost or duty is set three stars (* * *) will be displayed in the Boost/Duty menu to depict RPM based tuning. * Caution: It is possible to wipe the NE point settings for Boost or Duty Cycle by setting the Boost or Duty cycle to a single value!
* If you have self-learning enabled you can dial in the desired boost for particular NE points and the AVCR will adjust the duty cycle to achieve those boost levels.
Scramble Boost (only available with aftermarket Apex'i scramble switch)
Scramble boost is available with the additional Scramble Boost Switch. Use Up/Down keys to choose the function to set. Then press the Right key to alter that value which can be done by pressing the Up/Down keys. Press the Left key to return to choosing the variable.
- Bs: Add this much boost to the preset boost pressure for the time specified
- Dt: Add this much duty cycle to the preset duty cycle for the time specified
- Tm: The time period for which the values above should be set
NE-Point
NE Points are used to specify the RPM points at which boost and duty cycle can be adjusted in Boost/Duty above. 8 NE points are available in the range of 1500rpm - 9500rpm in increments of 500rpm
Use the Up/Down keys to choose the NE point, then press the Right key to access the area to alter that NE point which can be adjusted with the Up/Down keys
Note: If you adjust a lower NE point to be higher than the next NE point, all NE points above there will be increased. The same applies for adjusting higher NE points to be lower than the last NE point.
F/B Speed
The feedback speed determines how fast the solenoid responds to boost spikes. A lower feedback speed will make the solenoid respond faster to boost and control spiking.
To adjust Feedback speed, use the Left/Right keys to choose the key, then use the Up/Down keys to alter the feedback speed.
Learn Gear #
This setting allows the user to control which gears should have boost learning turned on for.
To adjust gear based learning, use the Left/Right keys to move between keys, and use the Up/Down keys to turn learning on(O) or off(X)
Start Duty #
The Start Duty is used to offset the duty cycle for each gear. If the boost pressure is not reaching the desired setting for a specific gear then increase the start duty for that gear. If the boost pressure is spiking in a particular gear, then reduce the start duty for that gear.
Use the Up/Down buttons to choose which gear to adjust. Press the Right key to access the setting and from here, use the Up/Down keys to adjust the offset for start duty cycle.

* - If boost is spiking over the target boost setting, decrease the duty cycle lower. If boost is not reaching the desired boost setting, increase the duty cycle higher.

# - In order for Feedback speed and Start Duty to work the gears must be properly set in the Gear Judge feature.

Press the Prev key to return to the previous menu at any time.

Press the Prev key to return to the previous menu at any time.


TUNING
Mercury Motorsport can tune the AVCR to your requirements, including high and low boost settings, and RPM and gear based boost.

Basic Boost/Duty: Mercury Motorsport can do a basic tune on your AVCR to achieve the desired levels of boost which are safe for your car. These levels of boost can be tuned on conjunction with aftermarket engine management such as Apexi PowerFC, SAFC, Motec, Wolf 3D or Autronic, or also with the standard ECU.

RPM Boost/Duty: Mercury Motorsport can also do more detailed tunes to customise the boost to your specific requirements. Boost can be tuned to achieve a smooth response curve, ensuring good driveability and linear power. Tuning can also taper off, or hold boost to redline (depending on capacities of your motor, turbo and supporting infrastructure).

Boost can also be tuned to come in gradually to assist with traction or to set a maximum boost for a certain RPM (eg cruising up to 3000 rpm only runs a max 0.5 bar of boost, above 3000rpm the boost is increased to 1.0 bar of boost). Boost can also be tuned for maximum power on the drag strip, ensuring that the best possible time is achieved with minimal wheel spin.

Worked for me :muhaha:

sussed most tbh Steve, said i would,just dont see why you have to set it all,seems strange why you cant just use duty and boost but i like the gear change sync thats trick

The more you play the better it gets tbh. you dont have to set it all but the more you set the more toys you have to play with :-)

to many dam things to play with in my motor already! looks like the starship enterprise

Well it's better than mine then, mine looks and smells like a chicken shed ops:


Seriously tho Pete try removing some of those neons!!

there handy for working under the car at night!!!

WTF are you two up to now. :shock:

Blowing sh*t up.................I like blowing sh*t up
