hey all just having a bit of trouble sorting out the wiring of my hybrid ebc.

just one wire is stuffing me around. its an orange wire that it ment to be hooked up to either a "boost sensor, tps, map sensor" i cant get it to work properly. can anyon help on this subject? i searched the net and couldnt even find anything about installing them.

cheers guys, Alex

Dude, when we installed my one it was a complete pain in the ass!!! The instructions don't give you nearly enough detail and will confuse you more if you keep looking at it.

The wire needs to be tapped into the one from the ECU! It will not work on any other wire - trust me, we've tried it >_<

I think another one or two wires need the same treatment as well but not 100% sure now.

No no no.. Very easy to install...

Let me explain mate this is a 10min job :P

RED: IGNITION (+POSITIVE)

ORANGE: SENSOR (BOOST SENSOR/MAP SIGNAL)

GREEN: EARTH

PURPLE: (OPTION2;COMP)

GREY: (CONNECT TO EARTH FOR OPEN LOOP SETUP ONLY)

I’m assuming this is a R33? If so you only need to use 3 wires. Red, Orange & Green.

1: Connect RED (+IGN) to a positive once ign is on

2: Connect GREEN (-EARTH) to a negative or to body

3: Connect ORANGE (SENSOR/MAP) To your boost sensor. To a wire coloured WHITE with a small line of green thru it.

The stock boost sensor is located in the pic below. Just follow a small vacume line from the manifold down to where the master cylinder is, it’s just behind it (A SMALL BLACK BOX WITH A VACUME LINE STUCK IN IT) and you will find it has a plug connecting to it. It has 3 wires. Find the WHITE (with a small green line thru it) wire, it should be in the middle of the plug. Just pull it of and connect the ORANGE wire to it. You’re done!

Using this method gives you better boost response then using a throttle body signal from the ECU, I find it to laggy. And it was only made for cars without a boost sensor.

Happy Boosting.

Cheers,

Alex.

I suggest you redo you boost controller setup because R34's have a factory boost sensor located in the same place :( Will give you much better response.

I will take note of that one and re-jig the wiring... if you're right, you're a champion!

Also, make sure you do up the solenoid ports correctly, they are different for internal and external wastegates.

hey thanks for all the replys. i dont get online as much as i would like to so this is the first time i have been able to read my post.

i will go and try to wire that controller up right now. will post up the results. thanks again to everyone who gave their advice. cheers, Alex

I had the first generation Hybrid EBC and that is exactly how mine was wired. ^^

Is it any different on the R34? The boost sensor on my car is located at the rear of the engine above it. I'm pretty sure we've tried the method you're talking about but it didn't work last time.

Another question, how much of an improvement are we talking about here?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
