hello,

i just paid $165 to get a greddy profec b ii installed. naturally i was very excited and couldnt wait to try out my new gadget. attempting to set the thing up was irritating at first, because i didnt seem to be able to get very good live readings, and the peak boost results were often ridiculous, ranging from 1.6psi, to 23.5psi, despite the car not feeling any different on either run.

i have searched and figured out the tuning now, thanks to a very helpful guide i found. but turns out the ebc was set up all wrong. the hoses to the actuator and the compressor housing were the wrong fkn way around! and the pressure sensor was ludicrously connected to the "NC" (which is for external wastegate). i have no idea how you can get it so fkn wrong! clearly the pressure sensor should be connected to something pressurised.... like the manifold maybe...

i have a question though, the manual says "NO" to the compressor housing, and "COM" to the actuator (internal gate). i changed it to this because it was the other way around, but i just want to confirm its correct if anyone knows. oh and the pressure sensor connects to the fuel pressure regulator right?

now i have to try and dial in 18psi with the stupid % set boost function. what is with that?

lol at modifying cars.

need some splitfires too. anyone know of performance coilpacks in blue or yellow (to match my engine bay)??

Yes that's correct. Just as it says in the manual :(

So the "NO" needs a pressure signal from intercooler piping or compressor housing or somewhere there, "COM" goes to the actuator. And the pressure sensor for the unit, just T it out of one of the hoses from the plenum. As you said, fuel pressure reg vac line, it's the most easily acessed.

Think of it like this

NO=normally open

NC=normally closed

COM=common

If there was to be a failure of the solenoid for an internal gate car you want it to be flowing air, so you don't run huge boost levels, so you use NO and COM

If there was to be a failure of the solenoid for an external gate car you don't want it to be flowing air (its connected to top of the wastegate to hold it down), so you don't run huge boost levels, so you use NC and COM

think of it like an interceptor

the unit needs manifold pressure

so that is seperate

then it needs a signal in (intercept it) and signal out

so it takes signal in from the manifold again and then intercepts it (this is where it bleeds pressure in/out) and then signal out goes to the actuator

so the controller sits in the middle and lies about pressure to the actuator

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
