Hi guys setting up my Blitz SBC -3 EBC,

have connect one vacum line from turbo snout into the IN on the ebc

and another vacum line from the OUT on the ebc to the wastegate actuator

is this correct?

Now i have set psi to 18psi and its only hitting around 14psi, its set to AUTO not MANUAL?

It has the functions, SET & GAIN and im not sure wat to set these too?

Thanks

Gain controls the wastegate, low setting the boost comes on slowly, high setting boost comes on fast but risk boost spike (balancing act to boost to come on quickly without spiking). Set is possibly solenoid duty cycle, if it is indeed that, raising it will raise boost pressure

Auto doesn't work too well, it's very conservative and slow boost.

Use manual control - my gain is 5, set is 62, boost is 10.5psi on stock turbo.

You might want to use gain 6 to 8(if you have larger turbo), start at set = 10 and go up from there watching the boost. Changing gain increases the boost with constant set value so be careful. Set warning to 20psi and level (?) to 5 - this means if it hits 20psi boost will be reduced by 5psi.

Remember you can also use OFF which is a nice feature of these units.

Play around with these figures.

Ok thanks guys,

i have currently a hk 2530 + power fc + z32 + hks exhaust + FMIC

its now hitting 17psi with gain at 27.5 & set at 100

i have a sbc id3 type r in my s14, awesome ebc, but the auto isnt any good over 1bar, i have the warning set to 13psi and 99, so it returns to stock boost if it spikes, my aim is to get the gain perfect so no spike, just going to take time to play with it.

edit: manual attached, i found it very easy to understand on the function side of things, any more problems send me a pm.

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
