ZIP22 EBL (Electronic Boost Limiter):
|
Exclusively engineered for use on JRSC equipped Honda/Acura vehicles with high boost pulleys. The EBL, Electronic Boost Limiter, is the first ever boost controller for a roots type Eaton supercharger developed by ECG electronics. It has allowed many enthusiasts to run high boost pulleys for the track and allow lower boost for street drivability & fuel economy without the need for swapping pulleys. The EBL has two methods of controlling boost, fully autonomous or user programmable (manual mode). The autonomous feature is a “set and forget” mode, which the user programs the amount of maximum boost; then the EBL will take care of the rest. The user programmable mode allows the user full control of the maximum boost attained through five distinct regions with respect to the throttle position sensor. The manual mode either extracts full linearity, or exponential production, of boost from the supercharger. Which is useful in autocross and drag racing events, respectively. The production of boost is faster than the mechanical actuator found on JR kits because the EBL boost control mechanism utilizes a sophisticated electronically controlled positioning system to moderate the programmed boost level precisely.
The EBL not only controls boost, but also eliminates the dreaded tip-in detonation that is synonymous with roots type superchargers and also has a built-in VTEC controller. The EBL utilizes a 20MHz RISC processor, which samples a number of sensor parameters thousands of times per second for real time accuracy control of boost. A built-in 1 bar Motorola boost sensor, as equipped on J&S Ultras, is used to accurately measure boost pressures. The extra features found on the EBL are:
a) TPS mod: to help eliminate tip-in detonation
b) MAP mod: to richen/lean out fuel delivery (i.e. similar to the Apexi VAFC)
c) VTEC controller: adjustable VTEC engagement from 2500-5300rpms
d) IAT mod with intelligence: allows enrichment of fuel in the low and mid-range rpms but will cut-off at a user programmable rpm before the Honda ECU fuel dump to allow a perfect mixture across the motor’s rev range.
e) AF warning alert: audibly and visually warns the driver if the air and fuel mixture is getting to lean at WOT
f) VTEC light: this mountable LED informs the driver that the VTEC solenoid has begun to spool
g) Scramble boost: this feature allows maximum boost at press of a button
h) Valet feature: keep other drivers from tampering with your settings and allows no boost to be produced by the supercharger
The EBL has a handheld, mountable, user interface that has a built-in 16X2 backlit LCD display with large tactile buttons for easy menu selection. The LCD informs the user of real-time sensor outputs and the amount of boost produced. So if you want total control of your JR supercharged equipped Honda/Acura place an order for your own EBL today.

Considering todays high performance Hondas are pushing yesterdays limits, its no surprise companies such as Hondata are spawning with new products to help further push the limit. Hondata was started by New Zealand native Doug Macmillan and co-creater Derek Stevens who have since relocated to Torrance, CA. The Hondata system as it is known is available in four stages with several options available on top of each stage.
The Stage 1 system upgrades a typical Honda OBDI ECU to remove the speed limiter and the rev limiter is raised to make more power. The Stage 1 is good for anyone who has minor upgrades or perhaps a complete motor swap and wants more revs to take advantage of a higher peak power band.
The Stage 2 system goes one step further allowing user adjustable rev limits and includes a factory VTEC controller and a programmable shift light. This replaces the need for a separate and expensive VTEC controller and includes other useful features all in one box. The Stage 2 through Stage 4 system is also remapable using the proper Hondata ROM Editor software and an EEPROM burner/emulator. This means you can reprogram the ECU to work perfectly with any modifications you have or plan to add. You can even remap the fuel curve to work with larger fuel injectors for boosted cars. People have even run as large as 720cc injectors with the Hondata with a near stock idle. This negates the need for a rising rate fuel pressure regulator on turbo or supercharged cars. The ignition timing can also be altered for more power or better idle. Since adjustments can be made on both the high and low cam maps separately, the Hondata modified factory ECU can by far outperform any piggyback system and costs about the same.
For those who drag race frequently, the Stage 3 system includes the above features plus a two-stage rev limiter for drag launch and full throttle shifts. This can help make launches more consistent and allow for maximum boost to be retained between shifts on turbocharged vehicles.
Lastly for the mega-tuner who wishes to have full control and the ability to make changes at his own will, the Stage 4 system includes the Hondata ROM Editor and HondaLogger software. This software interfaces with the Stage 4 Hondata box to allow for real-time data logging to your laptop and using the EEPROM burner/emulator you can also make changes to the ECU in about 1/10th of a second, which can be later, burnt to a permanent chip for daily use.
The HondaLogger software and necessary hardware upgrade is available with the Stage 2 & 3 systems for an extra cost which makes the Hondata system upgradeable in steps for future plans or as the wallet permits. The Stage 2 through 4 systems also have an optional boost feature which converts the stock Honda ECU to work seamlessly with turbo and supercharger systems. This uses the factory MAP sensor for up to 11psi of boost or an optional 3 bar GM MAP sensor for up to 30psi of boost. Fuel and Spark maps are extended to enrich fuel and retard timing as needed when the ECU senses boost. This eliminates the need for rising rate fuel pressure regulators and allows the use of over size injectors to simplify the fuel system and tuning process. I'm so sure of this product, I use it myself on my Vortech supercharged 12psi boosted B16!
