Just wanted a few opinions on whether its worth going the ebc route on my car...

s1 33 with hks gtrs and all the relevant supporting mods

currently i have a turbosmart bleed value with the stock turbo, and it tends to creep. Will a greedy profec b totally eliminate this, and will it spool any quicker?

the gtrs is going on in a few weeks and i really wanna know if its worth the extra coin to ebc it.

i have searched but i was hoping to get some replies of people with the same turbo and ebc

No point man.

Get a good bleed valve.

Check out the TURBOTECH one I was selling, and there is a link to a full write up on it.

Your best to get a good bleeder and are better off spending the money on something you really need.

There was a big discussion on this not long ago.

I remember GUILT TOY I think his name is was running about 20psi with a GT3540 on a TURBOTECH bleed valve with no creeps.

Run the boost controller off the cooler piping and off the turbo wastegate, bi-passing the standard solenoid.

Are you going after market ECU? If so get a boost controller kit for that particular ECU if you want to go EBC, otherwise don't bother.

My opinion though.

Crazy!

But then again if you don't want too run 20 psi all the time

You can just push a button and go too standard boost.

It would be difficult setting it back up too that exact setting.

That's just my opinion anyway!

Good luck :kiss:

Yeah the car has a pfc, fuel pump,injectors, fmic, z32 afm blah blah. Its setup for the turbo in every way, i just want it to hold the prosper boost without creeping. I'm sick of planting my foot and watching the boost guage like a hawk. I'd rather be giving my attention to the tacho.

also i'd like to run 2 boost settings as i dont want 850000000 pounds all day every day. Hence the duel stage bleed value i have now

at the moment the bleed value is not running off the cooler pipe, pm its either change that or ebc it.

is there any difference in spool time?

Guilt Toy is in the thread now, he will answer most of your questions I hope :kiss:

But I personally think a bleed valve can hold boost very well, depending on the type of bleed valve and how its intalled.

You can get different types of bleed valves which work in differnt ways.. some are good, other are shit. TURBOTECH has been proven by MANY to be good.

I will post up a intsallation link for installing a bleed valve into an R33.

If you want to run dual boost use a bleeder, or in my opinion if you REALLY want an EBC go to a PFC boost controller kit. That will do the job.

i was driving around all day long on 25psi 363rwkw for a few months and was doing around 1000 - 1500km's a week with the turbotech.

The only reason why i got a EBC (a old one that was given to me) was because the bolt and spring and ball bearing fell out on the road somehwere on the central coast when i was cruising around and i needed something to replace it.

Turbotech all the way. once you learn how to set them up they are great and deserve credit for what they are.

I have found they work better on big external wastegated turbo setups then they do with smaller turbo's :kiss:

hey mate

the turbotech brings up boot much quicker then every other bleed valve setup i have seen.

I used to have 2 turbotech's... one set to 25psi and the other set to 14psi. I would just pop the bonnet take the low boost setting valve off and replace it with the high one. Can be done very quickly even when setting at a set of lights i was able to change it with plenty of time to spare :kiss:

PS: was not racing

Also consider that there is no need for you to turn the boost up, then down every time.

Run it on 1 boost setting as tuned and drive it off boost if need be!

If its tuned to 18psi, and you put it down to 7psi, it will run a bit shitty.

Hahaha pull up at set of lights, see some other car pull up next to you...

'Hey mate, wanna run'

'Yeah hold on a sec need to switch to high boost...'

*Hops out and swaps bleed valves*

:kiss:

Actually on topic, been very impressed with turbotechs in my experience with them. Cant really go wrong for the money either...

TURBOTECH - Very good value for money. I just sold my brand new one for $35!

Yeah thats how i have it at the moment, its 13 pounds or off. I have a rocket switch in cabbin...

mainly i want to know if my turbosmart will hold after i put it in the ic piping, and whether an ebc will boost faster

Thanks for that link abu, i have read it before but i only really skimmed over it.

well its ebc for me.

the car's gonna be on a dyno anyway so setup's not a problem.

thanks heaps for all the replies :kiss:

Not a problem mate, good luck with it all!

Which EBC you going with? I recommend a BLITZ or a PFC EBC kit :)

BLITZ's ones are so simple to setup, will only take a few minutes. Very easy to configure and adjust as well. The solenoids are a really good design and hold boost strong.

BLITZ DSBC SPEC R are a dual solenoid unit, could get one for about $300 2nd hand.

Otherwise a 2nd hand GREDDY PROFEC B II, about $250 off the forums. Also very easy to setup/adjust.

Thats what I recommend anyways lol :kiss:

Thanks,

Abu

Manual boost controllers work MUCH MUCH better with ext gates than int gate turbo's.

A mates ext gate setup with my turbo tech was perfect held what ever we pushed in; bolted the same turbo tech on to my IW setup and it wouldn't hold any more than 17.5psi.

Invest in an adjustable actuator with the spring tension to suit your application and use the turbo-tech for fine adjustments. This combination will hold boost better than an EBC and standard actuator. This is the setup I have anyway and it works well (I now use an avc-r with an adjustable actuator does the same thing)

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
