Title: Different Settings
Post by: oVerboost on September 06, 2017, 06:14:59 pm
This is really for the bluespark guys on the forum, as I know it gets asked a lot, more so on the facebook groups etc but it would be good to know what settings you recommend.
For example, setting C on a standard car. But setting D for cars with an exhaust and filter perhaps? I'm not saying that is the correct theory, but I've seen it asked a few times and people's replies vary so much.
The paperwork with the boxes states that it's probably best to leave it on setting C, but at what point is D and E recommended?
Thanks.

Hi there, It very much depends what spec your car is and what revision of the firmware is on your box. If you can tell me your order details I can look it up for you and give you some advice? Best regards, Edd

I've got a stock 66 plate 145 Abarth 595, which dyno'd at 148hp a few months ago. I've got a Bluespark fitted and I've had it on C for a few weeks and I immediately felt the extra power. Got it dyno'd again today and got 153hp - after discussing on Facebook with others I'm confident it will be an even better read out on D or E. So I took it out for a spin in D and felt the pull yet again - upped to E and it really does go!
I too thought that D and E were for cars with upgraded exhausts, intakes etc but it seems to run really well in both D and E!
So I would say, start off in C, then after a few weeks, notch it up to D or E? Smiles per mile guaranteed!

I was the one that said up it to setting E on facebook bud ;)
When I wrote the post above, I didn't mean it to sound like a question from me. I meant it so that the guys at Bluespark could explain what settings work best with different mods, as it gets asked a lot and would be a good reference point. I've had two boxes and both work best on setting E with no issues.
Glad yours is working well now Simon :thumb:

For reference, I had my Esseesse dyno tested at the weekend after having a new clutch fitted a couple of weeks back.
Box was on Setting E. Car has done 72k miles with the original turbo.
Supporting mods are a bmc panel filter (standard Esseesse part) and a Milltek full stainless resonated system and BP Ultimate fuel.
Results were impressive! 8) (https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4507/26342532489_398e6ba016_c.jpg)

I'm more interested in the torque number than the HP. Do any of the settings focus more towards that ?

Yes, D and E are higher torque than C.

16-Reg Tourismo and Fitted BS-box this past week - only a selection of profanities and scratches getting to the boost plug under the battery... Setting C was OK, but still wouldn't want to drive round outside of Sport
Then today, had a Monza fitted I picked up out of the classifieds, that I wired the valve open with the original spring. That made a bigger difference even on C. as well as the better noise.
Have upped to D to see the change and yes there is something - but was getting dark.....will try E tomorrow !
Generally, much happier !!!

Did you try E?.......Interested in result.

Yes I did - & have left it on E. Car runs absolutely fine on both settings - and you don't feel woefully short-changed on the non-Sport any more.
Interesting to compare with my son, who had his 160hp Comp re-mapped at Pro-Alfa. I think there is a bigger difference between the 2-settings with the Bluespark box.
For the discount price from here, I'm very happy with the results.
