theminuz Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 hi all, just a quick one here. i have searched but to no avail. basically i have done a few upgrades and have set everything up this is the last little bit before i can get it tuned i am running on my r32 rb25; -top mounted externally gated manifold -garrett gt3082r -Tial 38mm external gate -greddy profec b spec ebc thingo im unsure of how to setup the boost lines from the ext gate to the boost controller. with my old internally gated turbo i only had the two lines going from the compressor side of turbo to the actuator and having the greddy boost solenoid in that line, now we have introduced external gate i am confuzzled. i did get a fairly vague diagram with my tial gate but it makes no sence to me, i think that diagram excludes the ebc. what im after is a basic diagram of how this should be setup. i will have some pics up shortly a response tonight would be good as i'd like to get these lines sorted and done in the morning thankyou in advance for any info ben.

theminuz Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 above is the tial 38mm gate, see how it has the two banjo type fittings there... i dont kno where these go. and also on the greddy solenoid there are three outlets which can be used, which look kinda like this; -NO -NO -COM which one of these do i now use Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256921-setting-up-ebc-with-external-gate/#findComment-4424694 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Firstly, how much boost are you going to be running? And are those Tial's internal spring change to alter the pressure setting? Or screw top? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256921-setting-up-ebc-with-external-gate/#findComment-4424717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminuz Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) Firstly, how much boost are you going to be running?And are those Tial's internal spring change to alter the pressure setting? Or screw top? plan on running approx 16psi the tial gate i have is the "internal sping change" type. the spring currently there i believe is a 1bar rating, which will achieve 16psi, as i was advised when purchasing from a reputable turbo specialist place here in adelaide.

R31Nismoid Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Ye you want the closest spring set possible. I remember with the turbosmart gate i had the 17psi ended up achieving around 15.5-16psi, so you might see the same In which case put 17psi in there... if you do that you probably wont need a EBC at all, i didnt with my setup Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256921-setting-up-ebc-with-external-gate/#findComment-4424781 Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_fc Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 You need to run a line from the compressor housing (boost source) to the bottom of the wastegate, then, on that line, tee in another line which runs to your "in" feed on the boost control, and on the "out" feed on your controller, another line fron the out, to the top of the gate.

T04GTR Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 ok, to save you the f**king around later, hook kit up the same way as a internal one.. you have an electronic one? line from MANIFOLD to boost controler -------> to wastgate lower half. top half of wastegate leave open to air. hooking up the top half of the gate to the controler is another way but is harder to get a stable boost control without spikes etc etc... ie: do not follow the "external wategate" hose routing that comes with you boost controler..

theminuz Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 awesome got it sorted what im gonna do is connect it up asif i dont have a boost controller. ie; from compressor housing nipple to lower half of gate, leaving top half free to atmosphere this will enable me to run boost levels at the rate of the spring which is a 1bar spring rating. by doing this it will enable me to drive to my tuner and he can set it up which ever way he wants i did do some more searching this morning and found numerous diagrams on the turbosmart website which were very helpfull. even though i have a tial gate and greddy ebc the diagrams illustrated are generic i'd say.
