YOUR EBC Experience Over a Bleed.

[Cubes]

Well ppls tell me the differences that you noticed when fitting an ebc over a bleed.

I.e less high boost in first but quicker boost response?!?!

And any problems that were associated or that you ran in to.

I started with a Turbosmart item set @10psi, it dropped a psi in the last 1000rpm which I thought wasn't bad, but then when you go for a quick gear change it would overboost to 13psi for a sec. As my plans were a FMIC,SAFC and 12psi I didn't want the boost to hit 15psi so I got a Profec B, never been happier.

I had a turbosmart bleed "blue type" as my first bleed, this worked ok i spose used to spike to 15 and drop to about 10 psi

I now have a Blitz duel sbc and this is set at 15psi and while it doesnt hold 1 bar it gets to 1 bar quicker and bleeds off slower.

The ebc was almost easier to install then the bleed valve

hey guys,

sorry to butt into joels thread but I was also after the same info. I going to get a blitz dual sbc (spec s) - are these any good?

- Will it spike?

- Will it bring on boost faster?

- Will it hold 10psi well?

thanks

i got 2 stage turbosmart unit and on low setting it spikes to the high setting for a sec then drops to low setting! high setting seems ok with no spikes!

I'm actually starting to think that i've got a problem with the SBC.

This morning it was on auto mode all fine started to hit 1 bar then I started winding out third and it hit 16psi ?!?!! WTF I thought.

THEN i set to manual mode and set it up right.

First gear 13.6psi.

Second gear 14.7psi

Third gear 15psi.

I'm going to double check everything then get tim @ rpm to check it out then return it if it is dodgy.

I also swear that the EBC does make boost start to come on a little quicker but then it gets up around say 12psi and where with the bleed it would jump to 15psi now it sort of goes up there smoothly. ?!?!

One thing I did notice with the Profec B is with the lo/hi knobs, even if there both set at 12psi, on low I won't get 12psi unless I'm at 100% throttle, but on high I can get 12psi at 40% throttle. It's good for when it rains I guess as you don't have to be shy with the accelerator.

Also with the balance knob you can set boost to drop off, rise or stay the same in the higher rpm.

[Cubes]

I must say I have noticed it also.

With EBC's you seem to need more throttle to make more boost where as the bleeds tend to flick up there easier. (Spiking)

I havn't got a balance nob but. I just set the gain lower and it holds boost better up top.
