Another Profec B 2 Question

[Doobs]

Hey guys,

just bought a profec b 2 boost controller and installed it yesterday.

just need to know what to do with the vac line that went from the stock solenoid to the black pipe

that comes from the recirculation valve.

do i just block it off? what's it for?

any help would be appreciated.

cheers

block it off. i just got one of these a couple of days ago aswell.

i've got the manual in front of me. page 36.

[Doobs]

Cheers mate.

Have you started tuning yours yet?

It's a bitch without a dyno.

[ardie]

Actually, dynos are no use really for setting boost controls as they don't provide real world conditions and take alot of time and therefore money to get it anywhere near tuned for the road. You would be better to go to a quiet road and sit in the passenger seat and get your friend to load it up, each time tweaking the settings.

And yeah just block off that vac line, I put a screw in it that was slightly too big so it is tight, then i sealed it with silicone and doubled the hose back on itself and cable tied it near the crimp.

Hope that helps

^^^^Cheers man,

Awesome tip. Didn't think to get someone else to drive while i tuned it.

That's probably cause i'm a dumb arse.

I'll do it 2nite.

[QWK32]

yeah, don't do it on the dyno, waste of money, all i'm doing with mine is driving around and tweeking it.

If your a dumb arse, you might want to get somebody else to tune it, u can stand on the side of the road with one of those old school grid iron helmets on, watching lol. Just kidding mate, I tried doing it on my own once when I first got it, NOT a good idea. Possible the dumbest thing I have ever done in fact, I almost had a head on! I was just sooooooo sooooooooooo lucky the other driver wasn't some dumb idiot like me , but then again you don't expect traffic at 4 am on a week night in an industrial area.

[Doobs]

Fair point ardie. i might just wear an icecream container on my head instead,

it's not like i've got much to protect. hehe

i got a mate who's looking to get a profec for his GTI-R so

he can help.

lol. nah i've been using the peak and last boost screen to help me tune it.

[Doobs]

yeah, i'm startin to get the hang of it.

just takes alot of fiddling round to get it right.

[ardie]

BAHAHAHA ice cream container, thats gold, so using that on the misses next time she does something stupid.

As for using peak and last, you wont be able to track how the solenoid reacts throughout the rev range and to the various boost loadings. I've installed and helped set up 6 or so of these including whacking one on a 380awkw GTR and every time I do it the same way: late night, industrial area and friend booting it while I tweak it.

Also, just out of curiosity, where are you getting the boost lines from?

If your mates looking at getting one, I'm going to have one come into my possession within the next couple weeks, if interested in it let me know
