Well ppls tell me the differences that you noticed when fitting an ebc over a bleed.

I.e less high boost in first but quicker boost response?!?!

And any problems that were associated or that you ran in to.

I started with a Turbosmart item set @10psi, it dropped a psi in the last 1000rpm which I thought wasn't bad, but then when you go for a quick gear change it would overboost to 13psi for a sec. As my plans were a FMIC,SAFC and 12psi I didn't want the boost to hit 15psi so I got a Profec B, never been happier.

I had a turbosmart bleed "blue type" as my first bleed, this worked ok i spose used to spike to 15 and drop to about 10 psi

I now have a Blitz duel sbc and this is set at 15psi and while it doesnt hold 1 bar it gets to 1 bar quicker and bleeds off slower.

The ebc was almost easier to install then the bleed valve

i got 2 stage turbosmart unit and on low setting it spikes to the high setting for a sec then drops to low setting! high setting seems ok with no spikes!

I'm actually starting to think that i've got a problem with the SBC.

This morning it was on auto mode all fine started to hit 1 bar then I started winding out third and it hit 16psi ?!?!! WTF I thought.

THEN i set to manual mode and set it up right.

First gear 13.6psi.

Second gear 14.7psi

Third gear 15psi.

I'm going to double check everything then get tim @ rpm to check it out then return it if it is dodgy.

I also swear that the EBC does make boost start to come on a little quicker but then it gets up around say 12psi and where with the bleed it would jump to 15psi now it sort of goes up there smoothly. ?!?!

One thing I did notice with the Profec B is with the lo/hi knobs, even if there both set at 12psi, on low I won't get 12psi unless I'm at 100% throttle, but on high I can get 12psi at 40% throttle. It's good for when it rains I guess as you don't have to be shy with the accelerator.

Also with the balance knob you can set boost to drop off, rise or stay the same in the higher rpm.

I must say I have noticed it also.

With EBC's you seem to need more throttle to make more boost where as the bleeds tend to flick up there easier. (Spiking)

I havn't got a balance nob but. I just set the gain lower and it holds boost better up top.

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
