BlackBox by Turbosmart is a dedicated Electronic Wastegate Controller. The BlackBox protects from the current demands and translation of basic and more advanced boost control strategies into a gate position and can be used on single or twin electronic wastegate systems for the ultimate boost control. They are used in cooperation with a range of Factory, Aftermarket and Motorsport ECU.
The BlackBox is a Dual Channel, High current Capable H-Bridge Driver for use with the Turbosmart range of Electronic External Wastegates, including the StraightGate50 and our Electronic poppet style gates including; CompGate40, HyperGate45, ProGate50 and PowerGate60 electronic Wastegates
The BlackBox is capable of multiple strategies and will accept PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) inputs as traditional boost control solenoids, 0-5v position target CAN position target and CAN bus override for more advanced ECU’s where control strategy can be developed natively. The Blackbox auto-calibration of Electronic External Wastegates via a full sweep and includes over-temp safety features using the temperature sensor inputs.
The BlackBox is pre-configured with the flow vs. lift calibration data of all Electronic Actuatuated Wastegates from Turbosmart for simple setup and accurate boost control. Settings can be adjusted via a simple USB connection and PC-based application. Unlimited control strategies can be implemented with the CAN-based override system, limiting your strategy only by your ECU’s capability.
