1. SCG-1

The SCG-1 is a boost solenoid controller gauge with an integrated

wideband AFR (lambda) control. The SCG-1 also has advanced safety boost
cuts based on AFR and/or boost pressure. Although it can be operated
stand alone, it has digital I/O for integration with other Innovate Motorsports
MTS compatible products and one configurable analog output for integration
with ECU’s and 3rd party data loggers. The following section will help you get
familiar with the SCG-1.

1. Channel Displays
- The SCG-1 has four different displays modes that can be cycled
through on the main screen with the left and right interface buttons. It
can be configured to display A/F or pressure as primary channels or
both A/F and pressure in both the primary and secondary channel
viewports.

2. Status or Error display

- The upper right hand viewport of the SCG-1 is reserved to display
the status of the wastegate duty or any error codes that might be
present.
- O2 error codes will supersede all other statuses.
- In an O2 error state, all solenoid functions are automatically
disabled.

3. Interface Buttons
- Pressing either the left or right interface buttons will allow you to
cycle through the 5 different display modes.
- From the main screen, pressing and HOLDING the left interface
button will put the gauge in setup mode. Once in setup mode,
2
 pressing and HOLDING both interface buttons together will move
you to the menu or main screen. The gauge will revert back to the
main screen if no there have been no button presses for 15 seconds.
- From the main screen, pressing and HOLDING both the left and right
interface buttons will disable/enable solenoid control. If there are no
other error codes on the status viewport of the screen, the SCG-1
will display “SC OFF”.
- From the Peak boost display, press and HOLD the right interface
button to clear the stored peak boost value.

4. Shift Light
- Illuminates when the trigger shift RPM is reached.

1.1 Changing the SCG-1’s gauge face and/or bezel

1. Lay the SCG-1 face down and remove the three #2 phillips screws
from the outside rim of the back plate.
2.

3. Configure the gauge as desired by changing the gauge face and/or

bezel.
4. Make sure every piece is positioned correctly using the locating tab
and reassemble the gauge.
3
 5. Reinstall the three #2 phillips screws verifying that the buttons are
not binding on the gauge lens.

2 Installation

2.1 Wiring

The SCG-1 has 5 stripped wire leads:

1 Connect the RED wire to an isolated switched 12V source in your

vehicle. A switched 12V source goes ON as soon as “key on” power is
active. The circuit to which you will pull power from should be able to
support a 3 amp draw. Make sure this connection is protected with a 5A
fuse (not supplied.)

Circuits that share power with the vehicle’s stereo, ignition system,
ECU, lighting, or fuel pump should not be used. When in doubt, create an
additional circuit using an automotive relay available at any automotive parts
supplier. See the next section for a relay installation diagram.

2 The BLACK wire should be grounded to a solid ground source. The

best possible ground source would be the battery ground (-) post.

If other Innovate Motorsports devices are going to be daisy-chained

along with the SCG-1, it is recommended that all devices be connected to a
single ground point, ideally the battery ground (-) post.

3 Connect the WHITE wire to a headlight power wire (a wire that goes hot
with 12V when the headlights are on)). This enables the display to dim
for better nighttime viewing. DO NOT CONNECT THIS WIRE TO THE
HEADLIGHT DIMMING WIRE. Connection to this rheostat type of
switch will cause the gauge to malfunction. If you chose not to utilize the
dimming feature, connect the WHITE wire to ground.

4
4 Optionally, the YELLOW analog output can be connected to the analog
input of other devices such as data loggers or ECUs. If this wire is not
being used isolate and tape it out of the way. The default analog output
configuration is 0V = 7.35 AFR and 5V = 22.39 AFR.

5 Optionally, the PURPLE wire can be connected to a tach signal to log

engine RPM and to use the shift light function. A tach signal can be
acquired from the negative lead of a coil, ECU, negative lead of an
injector, or directly from the ignition box if running a multi-spark (i.e.
MSD 6AL).

Note: A tach signal can not be acquired from the negative lead of the coil
on vehicles running CDI ignitions. For these applications use the
negative lead of an injector or a tach adapter (if available for your model
ignition).

2.1.1 Single Innovate Device Relay Wiring Instructions

2.2 Gauge Mounting and Routing

The SCG-1 gauge fits in any standard 2 1/16” (52mm) gauge pod. Mounting
of the gauge should be done in such a manner that the cables are not being
forcefully pulled and strained from the gauge itself. Route the sensor and
solenoid cables avoiding contact with the exhaust system and other vehicle
5
components that could damage the cable. Also avoid routing the cables near
ignition components or other sources of RF (radio frequency) and EMI
(Electromagnetic interference) noise.

2.3 Solenoid Installation

- Mount the solenoid in a suitable location away from high

temperatures or near ignition components.
- Secure hoses with cable ties.
- Make sure not twist or pinch any of the hoses.
- The solenoid will make audible clicking noises when in operation,
this is normal.
- Route the solenoid cable through the firewall, to the gauge and
connect to the 2 pin connector.
- Confirm that you do not have any air leaks when the engine idles.

2.3.1 Internal Wastegate

6
2.3.2 External Wastegate

2.4 MAP sensor

1. The MAP sensor MUST be installed with the hose fitting facing
down. It is very important that the sensor be isolated from heat
sources, mounted away from all ignition and/or other potential RF
emitting sources, and protected against excessive vibration.

The MAP sensor has two 1/8” holes that can be used to secure the
sensor. Another viable option is to use double-sided mounting tape.

2. Locate a vacuum source on the intake manifold, after the throttle

body and connect it to the hose barb on the sensor. Use the
provided “T” and hose to make this connection if needed. To secure
the hose use tie-wraps or hose clamps.

3. With the engine idling, confirm that you do not have any air/vacuum
leaks.

2.5 Wideband Oxygen Sensor Setup

2.5.1 Oxygen Sensor Placement

Optimum bung placement will vary from application to application, but using
the guidelines below will ensure the longest sensor life with the most

7
accurate readings. Using a bung is the preferred method for mounting the
oxygen sensor in all applications.

 Weld the bung at least 24 inches after the turbocharger.

 Using a clock as reference, mount the bung between the 9:00

o’clock and 3:00 o’clock position. Welding the bung in the lower
section of the exhaust pipe can result in sensor damage caused by
condensation making contact with the sensor’s internal heating
element.

 A 1” bung (provided in the kit) will best protect the sensor. When
fully threaded, the sensor’s tip will sit flush with the inside of the
exhaust piping, this does not adversely effect the readings.

 The bung should always be welded before the Catalytic Converter.

Welding the bung after the catalytic converter will skew the readings
toward lean. The skew in readings will vary with engine load and the
efficiency of the catalytic converter.

 Leaded fuel and two stroke applications will reduce the sensor’s life.
There are many other factors that dictate the sensor’s lifespan so it is
impossible to predict total sensor longevity.

 Exhaust leaks, camshaft overlap, and open (shorty) exhausts will

cause false lean readings at light engine loads. Typically, once the
engine is under load and the exhaust gas volume increases, you will
see accurate readings.

 When installed in the exhaust, the oxygen sensor must be connected

to a powered, functional SCG-1 (no error codes) whenever the
engine is running. An un-powered sensor will be damaged in a short
period of time when exposed to exhaust gas.

 Do not pre-warm the sensor before starting the engine, start the
engine as you normal would. Allowing the sensor to pre-warm
before starting the engine will increase the possibility of damaging
the sensor from shock-cooling.

 The maximum temperature of the sensor at the bung (the sensor

mounting location) should not exceed 500 oC or 900 oF. If these
temperatures are exceeded in your application you should install the
Innovate Motorsports HBX-1 heat sink bung extender. (p/n 3729.)

8
 As the O2 sensor measures the oxygen content of the exhaust
gas to provide an accurate O2 reading, even a small pin-hole
leak in a poorly welded sensor bung will effect the accuracy
and performance of your O2 sensor. Remember, any deviation from the
instructions provided for proper sensor installation will lead to
inaccurate O2 readings.

2.5.2 Sensor Calibration

Once the unit has been wired and a suitable location has been found for both
the gauge and the sensor. it is time to perform the sensor calibration.
Innovate Motorsports’ ‘Direct Digital’ wideband measurement principal allows
you to calibrate the sensor to compensate for sensor wear. This procedure
takes just a few moments and it will ensure the most accurate readings
throughout the oxygen sensor’s life. This procedure is required anytime a
NEW oxygen sensor is installed.

The calibration procedure requires that the oxygen sensor be in free air, this
means removed from the exhaust system completely.

1. With the sensor disconnected, apply power to the SCG-1.

Confirm that the top right-hand corner viewport displays “O2 E2.” This is
an error code, indicating that no sensor is detected. Leave unit powered
on for a minimum of 30 seconds.

2. Power down the SCG-1 and attach the oxygen sensor using the cable
provided. When making these connections, make sure they are fully
seated and locked. Again, make sure that the sensor is in free air (not in
the exhaust).

3. Power up the SCG-1.

The SCG-1 will start warming up the sensor, this is indicated on top right-
hand corner viewport of the display by showing “O2 HTR.” After 30-60
seconds, the display will switch from “O2 HTR” and quickly flash “O2
CAL”, indicating that the sensor is being calibrated.

The calibration procedure has completed and the system is now ready
for use.

Important: You can disconnect and reconnect the sensor and sensor
cable for installation without losing your calibration. However, if you
power up the SCG-1 without a sensor connected, your calibration will
be reset (see step #1 above).

9
2.5.3 Calibration Schedule

Turbo Application, daily driver (tuned rich)

- Calibrate before installation of new sensor
- Calibrate new sensor again after 3 month of use
- Thereafter calibrate twice a year or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes
first

Race Application
- Calibrate before first installation of new sensor
- Calibrate once per race weekend

3 Boost Controller Setup

3.1 Entering Setup Configuration

The SCG-1 can be configured directly from the gauge itself or by connecting
it to a computer with the LM Programmer software.

3.1.1 Configuration using SCG-1’s interface buttons

1. From the main screen, press and HOLD the left interface button to
put the gauge in setup mode
2. Pressing either the left or right interface buttons will allow you to
cycle through the 14 different setup parameters in the menu.
3. Once the desired setup parameter is displayed, press and HOLD the
left interface button to make a change. Once the parameter’s
configuration has been entered it will start flashing.
4. Make changes by using the left or right interface buttons.
5. Once in setup mode, pressing and HOLDING both interface buttons
together will move you to the menu or main screen. The gauge will
revert back to the main screen if no there have been no button
presses for 15 seconds.

3.1.2 Configuration using the LM Programmer software

Refer to chapter 4, Logworks 3 & LM Programmer Software Package to gain
access to the software.

1. Connect the OUT port of the SCG-1 to the provided serial

programming cable. Connect the other end of the serial
programming cable to your computer. If your computer does not
have a serial port, you can purchase a USB to Serial adapter from
Innovate Motorsports (P/N 3733) or use any USB to serial adaptor
that includes drivers. Make sure that nothing is connected to the IN
port of the SCG-1
10
 2. Power up the SCG-1.
3. Launch LM Programmer. The LM Programmer application can be
launched from Start->Programs->LogWorks3->LM Programmer from
the Windows task bar.

Once you have completed your desired changes, press the Program button
on the lower right on the software application. You will know that the SCG-1
has been programmed successfully when the Program button grays out.

3.2 Display Settings (Gauge Abbreviations)

1. Wideband O2 Units (WB O2 Units) – Allows the gauge to display

O2 units in either AFR or Lambda. Default setting is AFR.

2. MAP Units - Allows the gauge to display pressure in either

inHG/PSI, kPa or BAR. Default setting is inHG/PSI

3. Enable Wideband O2 (WB O2 State) – Allows the wideband to be

disabled or enabled. Also indicates the sensor type used (sensor
type can only be changed by connecting the SCG-1 to LM
Programmer.) NOTE: If the wideband is disabled, the O2 sensor
should be removed from the exhaust to avoid damaging it. Default
setting is O2 enabled.

4. Fuel Type – Change to different fuel types when SCG-1 is setup to

display in AFR. Default setting is Gasoline.

3.3 RPM Settings (Gauge Abbreviations)

1. Mode (RPM Mode) - Select how many pulses per rotation (ppr)
based on your tach signal source. When setting up Mode using the
gauge interface, you will also see a real-time display of the RPM to
ease the setup. Default is 1 pulse per rotation.

2. Scale (RPM Scale) – Select either 10230 or 20460 RPM scales.

Default is 10230

3. Shift RPM – Set to desired RPM to trigger illumination of the shift

light on the SCG-1. Default is 10230 RPM.

3.4 Solenoid Settings (Gauge Abbreviations)

In an O2 error state, all solenoid functions are automatically

disabled. To continue using the solenoid functions without
the safety cuts, the wideband function of the SCG-1 may be
disabled from the setup menu.

11
1. Wastegate Duty (WG Duty) – Adjusts the solenoid duty cycle in 2%
increments. The higher the duty cycle percentage the higher boost
pressure will be achieved over the base wastegate spring pressure.
When wastegate duty is active, the SCG-1 will display the duty cycle
percentage on the upper right hand corner viewport. Default setting is
4%
Tuning Tip: Start small and work up. Do not increase Wastegate Duty if
Boost/AFR cuts occur. Remedy Boost/AFR cuts before increasing
Wastegate Duty.

Note: Because of flow restrictions, wastegate spring size, and

other factors, not all applications will be able to achieve desired
target boost pressure.

2. Gain – Ramps up the solenoid Duty Cycle to help with boost pressure
drop at high engine speeds. Gain is calculated as a percentage of what
the current wastegate duty is set at (Max Duty with Gain = (Gain% *
Duty%) + Duty%). For example, if your Wastegate Duty is set at 30%
and your Gain is 50% the SCG-1 will gain up to an additional 15% (Max
Duty with Gain =45%). Gain is triggered 1.5 seconds into active boost
and will ramp up until Max Duty is gained. The SCG-1 will display the
active duty cycle and progressive Gain on the upper right hand corner
viewport when active. Default setting is 0%.
Tuning Tip: Tune your wastegate duty and spring pressure settings
before gain.

3. Spring Pressure (Spring Press) – Sets the activation pressure for the
solenoid. Set this value at or less than your mechanical spring pressure.
Be aware that setting this value too low may cause boost spikes, setting
it too high may cause an extreme delay in the activation of the solenoid.
Default setting is 4.9 PSI
Tuning Tip: A good starting point is 1 to 2 PSI below the wastegate's
mechanical spring pressure.

4. Boost Cut by Pressure - This is a safety trigger to cut boost by a

desired wastegate duty percentage at a specific manifold absolute
pressure. There are two setup parameters to trigger this safely cut: Max
Pressure (Boost Cut Press) and Cut Percent (Boost Cut %). Max
Pressure (Boost Cut Press) is the maximum manifold absolute pressure
that is safe for the application. Cut Percent (Boost Cut %) is the
percentage of wastegate duty that the trigger will cut when the max
defined pressure is hit. When the safety Boost Cut by Pressure is
triggered, the SCG-1 will display “B Cut” on the upper right hand corner
viewport. Default setting is 8 PSI with a 100% cut.
Tuning Tip: Start with a 100% Cut Percentage.

12
5. Boost Cut by AFR – This is a safety trigger to cut boost by a defined
AFR . There are two setup parameters to trigger this safely cut: Start
Pressure (AFR Start Press) and AFR Cut. Start Pressure (AFR Start
Press) is the minimum manifold absolute pressure where the safety cut
will become active. AFR Cut is the defined lean A/F that will trigger the
safety cut. When the Boost Cut by AFR is triggered, the SCG-1 will
display “O2 Cut” on the upper right hand corner. Default setting is a start
pressure of 4.9 PSI and 13 AFR.
Tuning Tip: Set the Start Pressure at the same pressure value as
Spring Pressure.

6. Boost Control ON/OFF – When configured from the gauge, this setting
is accessed from the main screen. Press and HOLD both the left and
right interface buttons, this will disable/enable solenoid control. If there
are no other error codes on the status viewport of the screen, the SCG-1
will display “SC OFF”. In LM Programmer, use the Boost Control ON
checkbox to turn the solenoid control ON/OFF. Default setting is ON.

4 Logworks 3 & LM Programmer Software Package

The SCG-1 can be connected directly to your Windows computer to log and
analyze data with the Logworks software or to configure with LM
Programmer. The software is a free download on the Innovate Motorsports’

13
 that includes drivers. Make sure that nothing is connected to the IN
port of the SCG-1
2. Power up the SCG-1.
3. Launch LM Programmer. The LM Programmer application can be
launched from Start->Programs->LogWorks3->LM Programmer from
the Windows task bar.

4.2.1 Programming Analog Output

Connect the SCG-1 to the computer and launch LM Programmer. Select the
Analog Output tab. The analog output configuration screen shows voltage
versus Lambda for the analog output. The graph display is automatically
scaled to the selected voltages values. The configuration screen allows the
user to specify a minimum and maximum lambda or A/F value to a
corresponding voltage range.

By selecting the ‘use Air-Fuel-Ratio’ button you can change the displayed
unit of measure for mixture by AFR instead of Lambda. This does not
change the programming, only the unit of measure displayed in the
configuration screen.

Click the ‘Program’ button to upload your modified A/F or lambda scaling
data into the SCG-1. Once the unit has been programmed, the ‘Program’
button will grey out.

Factory Programmed Default:

The analog output by default is programmed to output between 0V at 7.35
AFR to 5.0V at 22.39 AFR.

4.2.2 Advanced Analog Output Programming

The ‘Advanced’ button allows the user to set the analog out update speed
and the voltage output during sensor Warm-up and error conditions. The
factory defaults of the analog outputs update 1/12 of a second. The default
voltage output is set at 0 volts for both the Warm-up and error conditions.

14
When setting the SCG-1 to the slower response speed settings, the
measured mixture data will be averaged over the response time setting
before being sent via the analog output.

4.2.3 Updating the Firmware

Do not update the firmware if the versions are the same. A

firmware update should only be necessary if there has been a new
release that specifically fixes a problem that you are experiencing with
the controller.

1. Connect the SCG-1 to the computer and launch LM Programmer.

2. Once connected, LM Programmer will display the current version of
the firmware that is installed in the SCG-1. Do not flash the
firmware if the versions are the same.
3. On the ‘Info’ tab of LM Programmer you will see a button labeled
“Update Firmware,” click this button.
4. Select the firmware file with the dld extension. If there have been
revisions to the firmware, you will find them available for download
from the Support section of the Innovate Motorsports web site.
5. The software will now prompt you to confirm that you wish to
overwrite the firmware currently on your SCG-1.
6. Click OK, the gauge of the SCG-1 will go blank. DO NOT power off
or disconnect the SCG-1 from the computer until the firmware
progress screen completely disappears. Once finished, you may
disconnect the unit from the computer and exit out of the software.

4.2.4 Changing Sensor Type

Note: The SCG-1 must be running firmware version 1.08
or later with LM Programmer 4.0 or later to access the
sensor type menu.

The SCG-1 is multi sensor compatible with the Bosch LSU 4.2 and 4.9
sensors. In order to go from one sensor type to another the SCG-1 must be
connected to the LM Programmer software and the appropriate sensor type
must be selected. The “Sensor Type to use” setting can be found in the ‘Info’
tab when LM Programmer connects to the SCG-1. Once the sensor type is
changed a sensor calibration must be performed with the sensor outside of
the exhaust (see Sensor Calibration chapter.)

Sensor Cable P/N 3ft 8ft 18ft Sensor P/N   

LSU 4.2 3843 3810 3828 LSU 4.2 3737
LSU 4.9 3890 3887 3889 LSU 4.9 3888

15
Note: All sensor cables for the LSU 4.9 are easily identified by a ‘4.9’ marking
molded on the sensor connector side.

Use the appropriate sensor cable for the sensor type as each
sensor has a different style connector. Spliced cable can not only affect
the wideband’s performance but in worst cases it can damage the
sensor and/or controller.

Selecting the wrong sensor type to the sensor being used will
not only give you erroneous readings and/or errors. It can also
permanently damage the sensor.

4.3 Logging data from your SCG-1 with LogWorks

Logworks is an invaluable tool to help setup your SCG-1. The SCG-1 has
four channels of sensor data built in for the tuning of not only your desired
boost levels, but also a safe operating air fuel ratio for your engine. These
channels are:

1. Wideband O2: Units in AFR or Lambda

2. RPM
3. Boost
4. Duty: Wategate Duty % of the SCG-1 solenoid

1. Connect the OUT port of the SCG-1 to the provided serial

programming cable. Connect the other end of the serial
programming cable to your computer. If your computer does not
have a serial port, you can purchase a USB to Serial adapter from
Innovate Motorsports (P/N 3733) or use any USB to serial adaptor
that includes drivers. Make sure that nothing is connected to the IN
port of the SCG-1. Power up the SCG-1.
2. Launch LogWorks. The LogWorks application can be launched from
Start->Programs->LogWorks3->Logworks3 from the Windows task
bar.
3. Once LogWorks launches go to File->Connect. You will be prompted
to connect to the serial COM port. Select the COM port the device is
connected to and then click Connect.
4. You will now see live data streaming from the SCG-1.
