Ebc Boost Issues

Hello,

I just installed a HDI electronic boost controller for my r32 GTST but am having issues with it.

When on boost (5k rpm) the car will cut out and make loud sounds from the exhaust. (misfire?)

The EBC was installed by an auto electrician so hopefully we can eliminate a wiring issue.

Before I installed the EBC the car was fine, boosting to correct levels.

I've attempted to change the setup back to normal. Leaving the EBC in the car but bypassing the EBC solenoid which initially fixed the problems but since has stopped working properly.

What could the issue be? Spark plugs?

I've searched the forums but can't find a matching issue to mine.

(brb flame proof suit)

you havnt mentioned how much boost you were/are running.

do you have a boost gauge?

are you sure theres no adjustments on the EBC?

and that it makes exactly actuator pressure before it bleeds any air off?

my moneys on its making more boost and your going R&R or too lean @ 5k rpm

also just one of those misfires etc when you first had the EBC on, would've fouled your spark plugs, now they are struggling to fire.

so new plugs as Nismoid said, then see how ya go...

yeh thats what i was thinking, with the fouled plugs. well now it should be running stock boost cos i set it up bypassing the ebc's solenoid, when i had the ebc on the boost kept going up rapidly even tho it was on the lowest setting, it hit 14 at one stage

I also have a HDI EBC-R, i havn't had an issue with it yet. As the guys have said, more boost requires more spark etc i would change plugs and if you can't afford new coils, get some industrial grade silicone and glue them up not a total fix but will fix most probs (unless coil completely gone). Also get out on a QUIET road or more safer a dyno and get it tuned and set right, if it's boosting to 14psi when it's not ment to check all hoses at the soleniod. This was happening to me but mine hit about 16psi (Shyte), i found that one of the hoses has a slight split. If you set boost to high you may break something. (BOOM) show me the money.

spark plugs fixed the misfire, but the boost controller just doesnt control the boost, it pushes past 16 psi!

runs fine if i use the same hoses but instead of going into the solenoid i just put them back into each other like an extended version of how they are normally set up, runs 11 - 12 psi though

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
