removing EBC

[predator]

Got an EPA test thanx to my g/f (and i'm not even going to go on about that) .. how do i remove the EBC for the test? Its a ProfecB..

First i just pull out the control box/solonoid.. and the control panel and leave all the pipework..easy done.

With the boost hose, i have one off the intake piping. This goes into the "in" part of the Profe solenoid. The "out" tube goes to my wastegate actuator. Now to remove the control box can i just plumb direct from the intake pipe (thereby biapasing the solonoid) to the wastegate or will this create infinite boost?

If not how can i do it quickly and easily???

I mean i don't care whether it runs like shit or no boost, i just wanna get the dumb EPA off my back, put it back and continue driving.

btw: i'm not gonna play with it without having some idea of how to do it, I know i could cause bad damage if i stuffed it up.

If they just test emmisions then set the EBC to run 0.5bar like standard.

yeh basically just bypass the solenoid all together

so instead of having actuator and plenum lines into the solenoid have the actuator line joined to the plenum line and it will run stock boost - 8psi or whatever

[adam 32]

or as paul said, just turn the boost controller off...

that will set it back to std boost

And dont remove the controller just hide it / tuck it up under dash.

You can leave the solenoid in the engine bay. Without lines going to it they prolly wont know what it is.

I can turn it off altogether and it will run std boost, yer...do it occasionally. I am not sure what the law comes to EBC's though... can u have one but if its not turned on is that legal? (seems dubious if that is the case).

adam 32: ok, as i suspected.. thanx.. just checking it was in fact safe. I wouldn't be revving it anyway.. drive like a turtle there and back (just to annoy people *nyek*)

raist60: apparently they are wising up to these tactics...so i just wanna be careful. If its a 5 min job i'd rather spend that 5 mins rather than going back for a retest.

i saw a page ages ago from holland i think. the guy had a 300TT and knew a trick to pass emissions.. maybe will work on skyline 2. sorry dont know the link :| let us know how your test goes

[Guest INASNT]

pred they know what the stock boost solenoid looks like and what its meant to be plugged into, thats the first thing he looked when i went for the test. I had a aftermarket T piece in there and he even thought that was a mod.

so plug in your stock boost controller otherwise once they find 1 thing they will start the BS

don't have one never have... for the first time the other day saw what one looked like.

if i do the above method they how are they going to know. just tell em you got your car like that (you coulda, never know).

Obviously you have one..guess who i'm gonna visit soon :lol:

anyway, i think this is veering of track...thanx for the help guys.

[Guest INASNT]

. just tell em you got your car like that

seriously that will just make them laugh, they will tell u, u have to put it back to standard.

When i got done i told the cop i only had the car for 1 month and i bought it just as it was. He knew i was BS'in

[KamikazeR33]

lol

what dopes it look like

i think it know

also how do u plug it all back together properly? (just incase)

also i got told having one in ya car if a cop catches ya ur up for $2k fine (might only be nsw)

inasnt if u would like to make up a tutorial on how to change it back to standard it would make life alot easier for alot of us (and ull get jobbies also )

[hippy]

tell us about how u got done

its farkin easy to put stuff back to stock, then putting it back is a bit of a bitch
