EBC valve tapping point?

[oofoofoo]

Hey all,

I have a Profeb B/2 installed and currently with a stock intercooler. According to the diagrams etc. i should taking the pressure signal from just after the compressor, but with the stock intercooler, there is a nipple just after the intercooler. As a result, there a bit of a problem with a time delay i think, due to all that air that needs to get pressurised between the compressor and after the intercooler.

However, on Thurs I am gettin a front mount installed, which will replace the piping where that original nipple is, so - should i get the guy to install a hot pipe from the compressor to FMIC pipes (as it is not included in kit), and get him to put a nipple on it? What have you guys done?

Hope i explained that clear enough,

Cheers,

Matt

Mine took the reading for the ebc from where the stock map sensor is. A t-piece in the middle of the hose from the plenum to the map sensor (near brake booster).

The solanoid then simply fits inbetween the wastegate actuator & where the wastegate gets its reading from which on the lines is on the turbo's compressor its self (from memory)

I once had the plenum to map sensor's hose split. Luckly the ebc went in to limp mode and wouldn't allow high boost to be made.

I used to run a Blitz SBC-iD.

cheers joel.

i take the signal for the EBC from a T-piece in the hose from the fuel regulator, which is all cool.

Its one of the 2 hoses that go to the solenoid that i need to worry about. i prolly didnt explain it well enough originally. The hose in question is the one which provides the boost pressure level to the solenoid. On the stock IC pipes, there is a nipple on the pipe returning, but as a result, causes a lag in the signal being received in the solenoid, as their is much air in between.

However, with a FMIC going in, this return pipe/nipple will no longer be present, so the question is, where do I go about getting the signal from?

If no other advice comes, i think i will just get the guy to, if possible, weld another nipple into the stock pipe leaving the compressor side.

Thanks anyway.

I had the same problem with you when i fitted my fmic. What i did was take it to an exhaust shop and got them to weld a small nipple on the pipe after the turbo. In the end he didn't charge me to get it done due to it taking a few minutes and well worth the effort as boost control was so much more accurate.

cheers mate. thats what i opted for too. its at the shop as we speak.
