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)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
