Places To Hide Your Ebc Solenoid?

[R33GOD]

by hiding the ebc soleniod in the glovebox for stealth is it bad because of boost response cause the hose is too long?

where are some good ideas to hide it. and if anyones got pics would be much appreciated.

im puting my stock airbox back on with a panel filter also..

Side of the air box?

I have mine in plain view of the cops, right under the airbox with perspex cover.. they love it. to busy checkin out how cool the box looks. just say its not connected if they ask. or you dont know what it is.

You can also mount it in the stock solenoid position under the suspension/roll bar hole

i wouldnt have it in the glove box, like you said the line would be too long. You want the shortest possible line going from the soleniod to the wastegate actuator for best boost control and to help spiking.

If your putting the stock box back in that gives you a few spots to hide it next to. Why do you want to hide it?

i do believe he would want to hide it because anything that is able to adjust booost pressure whether it be electronic type of just a bleed valve type is classed as illegal which is a crock of shizenhousen but owell thats how they roll.... o i know this bcuz ive been done for it b4 ive got a greddy profec b dual stage they dont like it.......

i don't really think you will have much trouble unless you make the vac lines excessively long, glovebox through fire wall is not all that far away.

easy to try however, just throw it under the hood for testing but make the vac lines heaps long, if it works, then move the solenoid to the glovebox, if it doesn't work as good as expected you will have to keep it under the bonnet, but atleast you didn't waste your time running all the lines through the firewall just to test it.

just tell the cops, its the carbon canister purge solenoid and tell them your external gate is an EGR valve. (they wouldn't know what that shit was more then likely anyway)

cops are that hardcore in australia?

here in alberta ask cops what boost is and they will tell u its what spacemen have on there backs

Nah, some people are just paranoid.

I don't think you'd want the solenoid in the cabin: the clicking noise, from the pulsing, would drive you crazy

[Trust33]

the solenoid needs to be rubber mounted in a place with ventilation. put is on the airbox side somwhere up front. and that way all you need to do is run hoses from the actuator and from the boost source to the solenoid. and put the plug from the ebc controller to the solenoid up to it.

if you are running the ebc controller itself youd want it to be in the cabin. so assuming you are going to run it in the glovebox. run a tee from a vacume line that runs from the inlet plenum. so u can get it as close as u can to where you want it, so the hose run stays as short as possible, before it actually needs to be tee'd.

if you cant hide it in the engine bay your not trying hard enough

When installing my blitz ebc, the manual said the line should not be longer than 3 ft. But I think even 3ft is a bit long.

Mine sits in plain view just under the filter

Nah, some people are just paranoid.

lol thats cos you live in toowoomba Come down and spend some time in Melbourne. There are alot of cops here that know alot about modifying cars and they know all the easy things to get you for.

P.S. I grew up in Toowoomba

[Omurru]

oh and on the topic of the solenoid If you are putting the stock box back in try putting it between the box and the guard or the box and the headlights. Makes it easy to jam a bit of plastic or rubber sheet in there with it too just so it can't be seen

[(B1) MR_fanny]

my blitz one is all black and i mounted it where the stock solenoid was. the TMU officer had a good look at it last week with this flash light and said nothing of it. maybe frabricate a black box to cover. i dont think its a good idea to run the hoses through the fire wall, expecially through the gromet as it'll restrict the hoses.

[R33GOD]

im going to get rid of it anyway anr un my car standard for atleast 6 months. sellin it cheap for 200 if anyones interested. its a gizzmo one.

but when im ready il try and get a black discreet one and replace it where the stock one goes. i think its a wise decesion there

thanks matey
