Issues with my Pro Boondocker racegas turbo..

[KON]

Hi!
I have purchased a racegas turbo for my 2011 pro rmk assault and mounted it yesterday.. Today when I was going to tune it in I ran in to a few problems..
At first, the EBC settings on boost level was at 1,3 and when I tried to WOT for only a second and the boost showed 6 on the EBC and the DET light came on in the dashboard.. I have calibrated the EBC to 0 psi setpoint when the stats menu on the BD display showed minus 5,3..
Second: I drove my sled in my workshop again because I wouldn't be riding without having control over the boost level and stopped the sled as normal, everything fine.. And then when I was going to start it up again it started as normal but there was no light in the original instrument an the engine only idled for a little moment before it stopped and refused to start again.. The sparkplugs were fine chocolate colour and with good spark so I replaced the same sparkplugs.. Waited for a while and the engine started again, still with no life in the instrument and it stopped after about two seconds and refused to start again..
What can be the problem?
I've checked all connetctors and they are fine..
Hoping for a quick answer..
Kim

what fuel were you running? You cant turn the boost down past 8 psi as that is what the spring is set at unless you order a lower aly spring.. So your correct that you have no boost control below that number. What alt are you at? You may have det from fuel and alt.

When I ordered this from Boondocker they were told that I was going to run from 0-3000ft with pump gas here in Norway, 98octane..
And the EBC were preset at 1,3 psi and in the instructions they recommended to start at low boost when tuning, about 4psi så I will guess that I got the low altitude spring..

And the otheer issue, why is the sled dead?
It started on the second pull after mounting the kit and after I stopped it the oem instrument was dark an it ran for about 3 seconds before it stopped and now it won't start.. And I got spark in both plugs..

Check the ground or power lead to your bd box. Does the box light up when you pull the recoil? The box controls the injectors so without power you have no fuel.

The original instrument in the dash was lifeless but both the BD box and EBC display lighted up.. So, thats my major consern.. Why it idled after start for a few seconds without light in the dashboard before it stopped and won't start again.. The sparkplugs are fine btw..

turn the key off, turn the kill switch off, hold throttle wide open and pull recoil 6 or 7 times hard.

Turn everything back on, hold throttle wide open and see if it starts.

Thank you for the tip, but it didn't work =/

I don't understand why they sold you a race gas setup if you only want to run pump? Didn't think the race kits were designed to go that low of boost

 

[KON]

Because here in norway we run at so low altitude that a racegas kit will work better because of the additional injectors and cooler and our pumpgas is a little better then yours..
Howewer, I have no ordered a turbo-head.. I am going to mount it and next friday I'm going to get it dyno tested.. With the new head I'm gping for about 10 psi..
Btw, I checked the wastegate and it is two alternatives for the wastegate "rod" to lower the boost but it is not an issue anymore..

I'm going out in the workshop later and will search for the gas-pump fuse.. A little bird told me (a polaris mechanic) that if the instrument were dark the gaspump fuse were blown because og the turbo mount..
So I'm going to change the original 2amp to 7,5amp..

Will update later if the problem get fixed or not

The fuse to the gaspump was not blown, I bypassed the BD box with a 9v batteri and removed the 3degree timing key but the sled was still dead.. I got good spark, but it seems like it's no power for the fuelpump and the instrument in the dash.. =/

If the plugs are wet hold wide open and pull until it starts, it will if you plugs are wet.

 

[KON]

The plugs were dry..
After hours with troubleshooting with a battery and electrical instruments I have concluded that the ac/dc regulator is blown.. I took a battery and loaded pressure on the fuelpump and the sled started.. So when it idled i checked and there were power in the ac plugs but not in the dc plugs.. All the cables are intact so it has to be the regulator..
But why? The only thing of the turbo kit that uses DC power is the turbo oil pump and maybe the fuelpump use a little more pumping more gas.. Is this a component that would have blown without the turbo mounting aswell?
What do you think..
I tried to give 12V DC power to the oil pump and it runs very easy..

not uncommon make sure the you check your hand warmers(wires). I have seen a few short out and take out the regulator.

 

[KON]

My dealer said it was a common problem in 09-10 but this was the first sled of 2011 he had heard of a blown regalator..
I will check the wires but i don't think they are the problem..

 

[KON]

Changed both regulators today but still I can't get DC power =/ what to do?

 

[Super Dave3]

Are you sure you have the oil pump plugged into the DC connector and not the ECM power connector? This is the plug above the clutch cover that I am talking about.

 

[KON]

Yes, I have checked all connectors that they are plugged in where they belong.. The funny thing is that i drove the sled for about 15 minutes and stopped in my shop and when I was gonna pull start it was dead..
I tried with a 12v battery to manually run the fuel pump-OK and oil pump-OK, with fuel pressure it starts and the ecu and everything that uses 5v and ac power works and when I tried to see how much voltage (DC) it produces when idling it was zero..
I'm getting frustrated, aggrevated and
irritated =(

have you tried a 10 amp fuse? my silber kit i put a 10 amp in.. and as far as i know the bd kit runs more electronics than the silber.

 

[chvypickupman355]

try disconnecting the boondocker box and see if will run with the stock computer and electronics.

 

[KON]

The 2 amp fuse was not blown and I just came in from my workshop and tried to bypass te BD box with new regulators but still no changes.. I have manually feeded 12v from a battery to oil pump-OK, IC fan-OK, Tail light-OK, Original Instrument-OK.. New regulators and the capasitator is Ok.. Tried to charge in and checked if it holds 12v..
Now, the next I'm gonna have to try to change the relay that is mounted right under the steering colomn.. Checking tomorrow and I will let you know.. But please keep feeding me with tips =)
