Need Help With Hybrid Ebc Install

[alex.a]

hey all just having a bit of trouble sorting out the wiring of my hybrid ebc.

just one wire is stuffing me around. its an orange wire that it ment to be hooked up to either a "boost sensor, tps, map sensor" i cant get it to work properly. can anyon help on this subject? i searched the net and couldnt even find anything about installing them.

cheers guys, Alex

Have you tried calling Hybrid (Powerdigger) in Sydney?

Dude, when we installed my one it was a complete pain in the ass!!! The instructions don't give you nearly enough detail and will confuse you more if you keep looking at it.

The wire needs to be tapped into the one from the ECU! It will not work on any other wire - trust me, we've tried it

I think another one or two wires need the same treatment as well but not 100% sure now.

No no no.. Very easy to install...

Let me explain mate this is a 10min job

RED: IGNITION (+POSITIVE)

ORANGE: SENSOR (BOOST SENSOR/MAP SIGNAL)

GREEN: EARTH

PURPLE: (OPTION2;COMP)

GREY: (CONNECT TO EARTH FOR OPEN LOOP SETUP ONLY)

I’m assuming this is a R33? If so you only need to use 3 wires. Red, Orange & Green.

1: Connect RED (+IGN) to a positive once ign is on

2: Connect GREEN (-EARTH) to a negative or to body

3: Connect ORANGE (SENSOR/MAP) To your boost sensor. To a wire coloured WHITE with a small line of green thru it.

The stock boost sensor is located in the pic below. Just follow a small vacume line from the manifold down to where the master cylinder is, it’s just behind it (A SMALL BLACK BOX WITH A VACUME LINE STUCK IN IT) and you will find it has a plug connecting to it. It has 3 wires. Find the WHITE (with a small green line thru it) wire, it should be in the middle of the plug. Just pull it of and connect the ORANGE wire to it. You’re done!

Using this method gives you better boost response then using a throttle body signal from the ECU, I find it to laggy. And it was only made for cars without a boost sensor.

Happy Boosting.

Cheers,

Alex.

I suggest you redo you boost controller setup because R34's have a factory boost sensor located in the same place Will give you much better response.

I will take note of that one and re-jig the wiring... if you're right, you're a champion!

Also, make sure you do up the solenoid ports correctly, they are different for internal and external wastegates.

hey thanks for all the replys. i dont get online as much as i would like to so this is the first time i have been able to read my post.

i will go and try to wire that controller up right now. will post up the results. thanks again to everyone who gave their advice. cheers, Alex

I had the first generation Hybrid EBC and that is exactly how mine was wired. ^^

Most defiantly! If you go with T/B sensor from ECU your wasting valuable spool up time

Is it any different on the R34? The boost sensor on my car is located at the rear of the engine above it. I'm pretty sure we've tried the method you're talking about but it didn't work last time.

Another question, how much of an improvement are we talking about here?
