Just Got An Ebc

[southern_tango]

Just received a second hand EBC from another member of the forum,now where do i get the mistycal hole to pass the firewall? +where do i get a shorter route to get pressure sensing?(at the moment is from the nipple at the back of the plenum,going forward next to the bat getting inside the mudgard and into the dash)

coat hanger with string sticky taped to the end, start poking

Take off the lining on theD/S mudguard. You will see a big bunch of wires going thru. Poke thru there.

in the back corner next to the brake booster you will see a couple of cables coming off some relay/control boxes (one is a brown/yellow). follow where those cables go right down into that back corner. run the line through that hole with those cables. then do as Hugh said, pull the wheel arch lining off and you should see the line you just poked through. you will also see a large grommet on the fire wall you can then get you line through into the cabin.

behind the turbo is a few grommets for the aircon and the ecu

or driverside aas everyone else has said

got an aftermarket boost gauge? cos that will prob be through the same hole

[wolverine]

coathanger + tape

find the grommit inside the cabin (drivers side above to right of the throttle pedal) and poke the coathanger through the grommit and up into the engine bay. You will eventually see the end of the coathanger and then it is a simple case of taping vaccum line and pulling it back through the grommit.

You should be able to do it without removing anything from the car.

Something else I did last time I was at it. I poked four extra wires thru jic I ever needed them

[southern_tango]

My boost gauge is connected through the big gromet behind the drivers side panel but,as i said is coming all the way from the front (under the wiper bottle)so it's a very long run...

BTW where did anybody connect the source of boost ,from the pipe that goes to the inter cooler or the second connection that I dont know how to describe it(last pic)

Have a look inside the foot well of the drivers side with a torch and look for some grommets, you do not need to run it along with the loom.... hell long way

I know...my boost gauge must have about ten minutes delay...

Found in one of the pics.I have from a rb25 neo that the last pic.could be the outlet of the turbo(yes???)

[southern_tango]

At last i passed solenoid loom and vacum line trought the grommet in drivers kick panel...

Another question...where do I get a IGN + wire to connect the EBC??? At the moment it's connected to a ACC + of the head unit...

[QWK32]

do you have a turbo timer? if so there will be one on that. otherwise, check a few wires at the fuse box, should be able to find one there. or even straight of the ign wire on the key barrell.

thanks wolverine.

I just did mine without removing the inner guard, absolutely no need.

[southern_tango]

Forgot to thank,everybody that advise me about this mod install...after more than 10 days of using it ,I can say the HDI SBC-D is a very nice working EBC boost pick up very fast (now I can feel the car pulling at 10 psi)

Found that the grommet under the driver's kick panel can acomodate all the connections (solenoid cable + pressure hose)and it open at the hole in the panel after the firewall),used the IGN + from the turbo timer...

And that's how it looks, used the factory hoses, again THANKS.
