boost pressure sensor
1Boost controller — Boost control is the principle of controlling the boost level produced in the intake manifold of a turbocharged or supercharged engine by affecting the air pressure delivered to the pneumatic and mechanical wastegate actuator. Boost controllers… …
2Boost gauge — A boost gauge is a pressure gauge that indicates manifold air pressure or turbocharger or supercharger boost pressure in an internal combustion engine. They are commonly mounted on the dashboard, on the driver s side pillar, or in a radio… …
3sensor — [1] An electronic detection device that receives and reacts to a signal, such as a change in voltage, temperature or pressure. [2] Material or device which goes through physical change or electronic characteristic change as surrounding conditions …
4pressure — [1] The force due to the weight of a substance exerted over the area the substance occupies. In metric measure, it is the force acting on each square metre. To calculate pressure, divide the force (in newtons) by the area (in square metres). It… …
5boost sensor — A sensing device in a supercharger. It is located in the choke tube which sends a signal to the ignition control unit according to pressure conditions. In turn, the control unit adjusts the ignition timing for the best performance …
6MAP sensor — The examples and descriptions in this article apply strictly to four stroke cycle gasoline engines. Other engine types such as diesel, or two stroke cycle can differ in the exact implementation, but the general theme still applies. The manifold… …
7Trionic T5.5 — Engine management system SAAB TRIONIC T5.5 Courtesy of: DrBoost Overview Saab Trionic T.5.5 is an engine management system that controls ignition, fuel injection and turbo boost pressure. The system was introduced in 1994 Saab 900 with B204L… …
8Turbocharger — A turbocharger, or turbo, is an air compressor used for forced induction of an internal combustion engine. Like a supercharger, the purpose of a turbocharger is to increase the mass of air entering the engine to create more power. However, a… …
9Automatic Performance Control — (APC) was the first engine knock and boost control system that was introduced on turbo charged Saab H engines in 1982 and was fitted to all subsequent 900 Turbos through 1993 (and 1994 convertibles), as well as 9000 Turbos through 1989. The APC… …
10OBD-II PIDs — (On board diagnostics Parameter IDs) are codes used to request data from a vehicle, used as a diagnostic tool. SAE standard J/1979 defines many PIDs, but manufacturers also define many more PIDs specific to their vehicles. All cars sold in North… …
