Dawes Devices Introduces The MKII Hybrid Boost Controller for All Turbo Applications

DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 5, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- 3 Bar Racing Inc. today announced their new Dawes Device MKII Hybrid Boost Controller. This boost controller gives more area under the boost curve, resulting in higher average torque.

A well-known path to power in a turbocharged vehicle is to increase the turbo boost pressure and supplied fuel. Boost increases can be accomplished through an ECU flash or stand-alone boost controller, either electronic or manual. Electronic boost controllers have improved in performance and cost, making it tempting to question if manual boost controllers (MBCs) are still relevant. However, the basic automotive turbo system has been unchanged for over 40 years.

The turbo contains a compressor/turbine assembly, whose speed is regulated by either a wastegate, or VNT arrangement. The wastegate or VNT vanes are in turn, controlled by a vacuum or boost signal. Just like the Saab designs of the 1970s, the ECU controls the level of boost by modulating this signal with a solenoid. Whereas an electronic boost controller takes over the control of this solenoid from the ECU, a manual controller bypasses the solenoid entirely.

Modern manual boost controllers use a ball and spring valve to control the signal to the wastegate or VNT and should not be confused with the "bleed" boost controls of the past. This design keeps the feedback loop short, reducing hysteresis (the tendency of the electronic boost controller to overshoot the desired boost level, due to the lag time in the electronic and pneumatic feedback circuits). This means that the electronic controller must approach the boost limit more slowly, to avoid overboost, reducing the amount of boost area under the curve.

While not readily apparent in peak dyno figures, reduced area under the boost curve translates to a loss of average torque. Serious racers have known this for decades and often choose an MBC for full race duty. If you want to retain your electronic controller for street duty, you can still switch between the two with the addition of a solenoid.

The people at Dawes Devices have made the best manual boost controllers of this type, for over 15 years. They were the first to use industrial ceramics in their construction, creating the "Hybrid" designation.

The Dawes Devices Hybrid MBC was covered in Sport Compact Car's "Project WRX" story and has been installed in everything from Porsche 911s, to Mitsubishi EVOs. The new MKII variant builds on the original design by improving strength and reducing weight.

You can find Dawes Devices MKII Hybrid Boost Controllers at Amazon or http://Dawes-Devices.com/.

Dawes Devices are available for Gasoline (petrol), Diesel Truck, and VNT (variable nozzle turbine) applications.

5 Bars Communities Named Official Wireless Consultant for the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Agency’s 73 Toll Road

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 28, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- 5 Bars Communities(TM) announced today that it has been selected as the chief wireless consultant for the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Agency's 73 Toll Road.

5 Bars Communities(TM) will develop a Wireless Master Plan for the 73 Toll Road. The scope of the project includes benchmarking the existing coverage of the major wireless carriers, gaps in coverage, and the development of a comprehensive plan to ensure continuity of connectivity throughout the 15-mile toll road. The Master Plan is intended to improve cellular coverage for residents, commuters and local residents who use the 73 Toll Road and rely on their cell phones and wireless devices for business, recreation or emergencies. It is anticipated that the plan will include the use of "small cells" as opposed to full-scale macro cell sites.

"Our customers are primarily commuters who value time savings. Continual mobile phone usage is important to our drivers and we look forward to exploring how that can be accomplished," said Lisa Telles, Chief Communications Officer of the Transportation Corridor Agencies.

Amid growing demands for high-speed mobile broadband connectivity, the addition of strategically and sensitively placed cell sites on the 73 Toll Road will improve safety and provide added convenience for commuters.

The Master Plan will be developed based on projected 2020 wireless usage.

"The 73 Toll Road is a terrific amenity of Orange County and ubiquitous end to end wireless coverage is important for commuting efficiency and public safety," said CEO, John Clarey. "At 5 Bars Communities we believe that users of the toll road should be able to travel the entire 15 miles of the Toll Road without the threat of dropping a call. We look forward to developing a plan to bring state of the art connectivity to the 73."

About 73 Toll Road:
State Route 73 is a highway in Southern California, extending from the junction with the Interstate 405 in Irvine through the San Joaquin Hills to its junction with Interstate 5 in San Juan Capistrano. The entirety of the route is located in Orange County. The first three miles of the highway are the Corona del Mar Freeway; the next 12 miles of the 15, are a toll road operated by the San Joaquin Corridor. Its alignment follows an approximately parallel path between the Pacific Coast and the San Diego freeways.

SR 73 begins in San Juan Capistrano at an interchange with 1-5. The freeway heads northwest into the city of Laguna Niguel and continues into the city of Aliso Viejo before entering Laguna Beach, where SR 73 intersects SR 133. After leaving the state park, SR 73 straddles the border between Irvine and Newport Beach. Entering Costa Mesa, SR 73 interchanges with SR 55 before merging with I-405 and terminating the route.
