Need Help: Turbosmart E-Boost Street Ebc

[erik]

hey guys, i need a hand with the settings on my boost controller and possibly where i've placed my vacuum lines and such.

i have a turbo back 3/3.5" exhaust with a high flow cat, front mount intercooler and a pod incase you need to know.

sounds pretty dumb but i don't know how to set the boost,

i thought one setting was 7 psi and the other at 10 but my boost gauge went up near 15 psi and i'm aware you shouldn't go over 13 psi on a stock turbo

the boost controllers pressure signal is tee'd in at the fuel pressure regulator and the gauge at the back of the plenum at the stock boost controller/gauge i'm not sure how accurate that is.

have the boost controller solenoid hooked up to the wastegate properly, i presumed the line coming from the intake pipe infront of the turbo was good enough for my pressure line then it said the 3rd port you vant to atmosphere but i have it venting into the intake pipe going to my intercooler

i have searched and read through the manual and searched some more

anyone?

sounds like you have the solenoid lines wrong. run a line from the nipple on the cooler piping (after turbo) to the com port of the solenoid. then run a line from NO to the wastegate actuator and leave the 3rd port open to atmosphere (you could plumb it in before the turbo but its not needed, just make sure its not blocked and doesnt see boost).

ohh ok, yeah that makes sense. Thanks mate =)

i'm also thinking of moving the boost gauges Tee peice into the vacum line for the blow off valve

No you dont want to do that. T it in to the line that provides your fuel pressure reg with a vacuum signal.

If your lines are setup as per the diagram it should work fine.

Start off setting up the eboost with a reset. Then go for a drive and make sure its not overboosting. With everything reset to defaults it should run the lowest possible boost. Then, and only then should you start playing with the settings.

3.15lt yes, RB30 no. Its an sleeved raised deck RB26 block similar to an OS giken engine with custom internals.
