EBC valve tapping point?

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.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good. Provided the panel is flat/level I'd be happy to start the painting process.  While you are learning, for sure you could do this. Its only paint, you can always sand it all back and start again. Its only your time and money on materials, but while you're learning, really its time and money spent on your education.  Once you know how to do this bodywork and painting, you won't want to waste your time and money on frivolous activities lol.

      Yep I will use a guide coat after putting filler, I will do it on the whole panel as I'm a beginner so chances I've made quite a few errors. In that photo, I think that was a low spot, I just for example said to pretend it's flat but I will put filler + guide coat after to assess where I'm at. Yep with that picture, the panel is wet as it rained when I took the photo. But all those scratches are completely smooth, I went over it with 240 grit and can't feel it, even with my nail digging into it. I was legit thinking to buy a 2k can and spray primer to see how it turns out but then thought to myself it's going to be a mess doing it haha. Good mention there. Thanks for all that info I think I know what to do next.

      Prior to laying down the primer, you need to make sure the surface is completely level. For example, based on this picture, I strongly suspect that the areas marked in blue are higher then the area marked in green.  If you spray primer over this entire area, then paint and clear it, the finished result will 100% show the low area. It will stick out like dogs balls. Unfortunately the paint won't magically level out the low areas as you lay it down.  Without seeing it in person, I expect that the green area will need to be filled, then use a guide coat and check that the entire repair area is level with a large sanding block.  With this picture, are you saying that even though you can see the scratches, the panel is in fact completely smooth and flat? If this is the case sure you could prep and paint it as it is.     The picture with the paint you described as blistering, it's hard for me to comment on from the photo alone. It looks like the panel is wet? Dunno, looks strange. Does the panel feel as smooth as glass when you run your hand over it? **** Going back to your question again, generally you would only sand the primer if you made a mistake while laying down the primer.  If the panel is prepped properly and you lay the primer down properly, you should not need to sand the primer.  This wouldn't work - Don't prep the panel. Spray primer and see how it turns out. Sand the areas where the issues appear. Spray more primer and see how it turns out. Sand the areas....... Yeah you'd go round and round in circles getting no where.

      That's sick, thanks for that, mine has much the same mods on a 400R. I just don't have the heat exchanger yet.   Might be worth a trip down the M1 to Syndey for a tune.
