Default Big stuff 3 help

I was wondering if any of you guys know the color of the boost wires and the timer enable.It should be on a four pin connector and all i need to know is what letter is what color.I don't have the plug so i can only go by colors now.
Thanks for any help.

Mike

If you are looking to hook up the switch for the internal logger (timer enable) its the pink wire on the boost plug.

So the pink is my logger wire?The reason i ask is because when i read the directions it says that the timer enable needs a 12v source in order for the boost 1 to go to that timing file when the boost 1 wire gets a 12 v source.Im not getting the boost 1 to pull timing and im can't figure it out.

I dunno to be honest, if you have the DAI putting 12v to the timer enable wire turns on the internal logger. I was wondering how that affected the staged boost control part of it as well. All I know is the internal logger works with it when you put 12v to that wire.

After looking at the manual I guess it doesnt matter, as long as that pink wire has 12v, once the minimum rpm and TPS are met the timers start and they reset themselves once it falls below the minimum or the 12v is taken off the pink wire. It appears that the retard only works off a timer and the stage 1/2/3 wires are to control relays which I assume you are trying to use to control N2o solenoids.

Yes thats what im doing the only thing im thinking is maybe in the time delay box in the boost control setup im wondering if there has to be somkind of value to start the timer.There at 0 sec now and i wonder if that is the problem.BTW im not using the timers but maybe i need to put somekind of value in there.

You would have to use the timers, i assume if you put 0 in the timers it wont work. If you are trying to make the nitrous solenoid power turn the retard on and off I would think you could put 12volts to the pink wire and if the rpm and tps was above the miimum values it would hit the retard. If you put like .1 in the timer, according to the instructions, the stage 1 retard would stay active unless you let off it or took the 12v off.

Maybe

I would probably try to use the timer in the BS3 to activate the second stage, so if it turns on the relay for the solenoid you will bee 100% sure the retard is kicked in.

If any doubts give the guys ar BS3 a call, I have never tried any of the boost timer functions so I'm just guessing.
