Electronic Boost Controller (Rev. F1)

Contents list:

Before installation of your Boondocker Electronic Boost Controller (EBC), check the contents of your kit.
Find the appropriate list for your application in the Appendix.

Installation

After installation, calibration is required! (See page 2.)

Install the boost solenoid in a pressure line between the air box (or charge tube) and wastegate actuator.
Attach the metal port of the solenoid with a 3/16” hose to the air box (or charge tube) fitting (see the
figure below). Connect the right-angle port of the solenoid with a 3/16” hose to the wastegate actuator.
Attach a short length of hose to the third port and point it downward so that it won’t get water in it. This
is the actuator vent hose. Attach the solenoid so that it is supported. Use small zip ties to secure the
hoses to the ports.

Installation (continued)

Attach the electronic boost controller (EBC) mounting bracket to a convenient location on the console or
handlebars. Slide the EBC onto the bracket.

Connecting the EBC harness to power is different for every sled:

For Polaris Dragon, the EBC harness plugs into accessory power near the top of the firewall.
This connector has a red/white and brown wire. Be sure that the molded rubber EBC connector
having the male pin with the red wire plugs into the sled harness, aligning with the red/white
wire. The other EBC connector having the female pin with the red wire can be used for the oil
pump and/or fan. Be sure that red (or red/white) wires go to red wires and brown wires go to
brown wires.

For Polaris RMK Pro, the EBC harness plugs into accessory power under the left side panel. It
is the white connector labeled “DC Power”.

For Polaris RZR, the EBC harness plugs into the accessory power provided by the relay that
powers the intercooler fan. Be sure that the molded rubber EBC connector having the male pin
with the red wire plugs into the relay harness so the colors line up. The other mating rubber
molded connector with the pin with the brown wire that is exposed will plug into the fan wiring
harness. The two position connector with the brown and blue wires will plug into the new
supplied turbo harness going to the fuel control box. This will provide the boost pressure signal
to the fuel control box.

For Arctic Cat M8 and M1000 WITHOUT a fuel pump booster, unplug the fuel pump at the
right side of the firewall and plug the EBC harness in line so that all the black connectors are
used.

For Arctic Cat M8 and M1000 WITH a fuel pump booster, only the fuel booster connects in
line between the fuel pump and its power connector. DO NOT CONNECT THE EBC IN

LINE WITH THE STOCK HARNESS. DO NOT PLUG THE EBC INTO THE FUEL
BOOSTER CONNECTOR WITH THE RED AND BLACK WIRES. One of the black

connectors on the EBC harness plugs into the extra connector on the fuel pump booster. The
other black connector on the EBC harness is used only for the optional auxiliary injectors. DO

NOT ATTEMPT TO USE POWER FROM THIS CONNECTOR OR FROM THIS
POWER CIRCUIT FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.

The rest of the connections are the same for every sled:

Attach the handlebar button in a convenient location on the left side of the handlebar and plug it
into the EBC harness. This is your Push-to-Pass button. According to your Plus HP button
setting (SET +HP), this gives more boost when the button is pressed. Plug this button into the
mating connector on the EBC harness.

Plug the EBC harness into the boost solenoid. Plug the 6-pin connector of the EBC harness into
the EBC pigtail.

Installation (continued)

Connections (continued):

The supplied ADA (Air Density Advantage) harness attaches to the Boondocker Control Box. (If
you are not using a Boondocker fuel control box, then this harness is not needed.) If using the
EBC to provide a boost pressure signal to the Fuel Control Box, plug the remaining two-pin
connector into the mating connector on the ADA Harness. Refer to the ADA instructions to
install the remainder of the ADA kit.

For TPS Smart feature (explained later), plug the blade connector on the white wire into the short
pigtail from the ADA harness. If not using a Boondocker fuel control box, then tap this into the
TPS signal wire (not +5V and not ground). To find this signal without a schematic, it is the wire
that will usually be about 1V at idle and about 4V at full throttle. This hook-up is optional.
Without it, you will regulate at full boost regardless of throttle position.

Install the supplied push to connect 90 fitting into the threaded hole in the BoonDocker airbox or
intercooler.

Feed one end of the 1/8” poly line through the EBC pigtail sheath and insert it into the push-to-

connect fitting marked “B” on the back of the EBC. On Polaris, route this line to the air box, cut

to length and insert it into a similar fitting. On an Arctic Cat, “Y” into the fuel pressure boost
line.

Finally, plug the six-pin plug of the EBC harness into the EBC. For Polaris RMK, be aware

that there are other six-pin connectors of the same type. Do NOT plug the EBC or EBC
harness connector into the Boondocker EFI harness or stock EFI harness.

Calibration

If you are using a Boondocker Fuel Control Box and the EBC will be providing the pressure signal (i.e.,
you are NOT using a separate pressure transducer), then calibration of the EBC is required.

The EBC provides an electrical signal to the Boondocker Fuel Control Box that represents boost pressure.
The Control Box uses this signal to determine how much fuel to add for boost air. It is vital that when
boost is zero, the Control Box reads zero. This is to avoid adding fuel at idle or failing to add enough fuel
when on boost. This signal is calibrated at the factory so will be close, but might need minor adjustment.

Go to the first “STATS” screen on the Fuel Control Box. Notice the boost reading on the Fuel Control

Box. With the motor idling scroll down the EBC menu (short button pushes to “CFG PT CAL” in the

configuration menu. If “CFG PT CAL” does not appear, go to the altitude screen and hold the button for

five seconds until it advances to “CFG”. After “PT” and “CAL” are displayed, the screen will display a

number. Hold the button one second to make this number flash. Use short pushes of the button on the
EBC face to adjust this value up or down. Hold the button down for one second to change direction,
shown by the “+” or “-” sign. Change the number until control box reads zero boost. It is preferred to
use the lowest setting that reads zero or a setting that alternates between -0.3 and 0.0psi. This will avoid
