Unfortunately the only thing stoping the new Greddy profec EBC being wired in is me Doahh!

Plumbing run & hidden well but fitting the tiny wires threw firewall proved a daunting task for a excaveman and hence that was as far as the coopers sparkling ales got me.

If theres a simple pic for a simple twit please forward.

Will happily post the Fitout & review of this EBC if I get it running.

Ah, sorry, it's reasonably fresh in my mind. I just put a profec bspec 2 in the 180.

Just match the wire colours up, pick up power from the cig lighter or something. The instructions I printed off weren't too bad.

Nothing as spectacular as the previous posts.

A good while back got a dash mat for the RS4. Fitted like a glove. Later I got a mat from an unmentionable for the 25G. . I finally fitted it today. It is like a soft sock.

Had to use a bucket full of viagra, oops velcro to get it to fit. Looks shit but will protect the dash.

Got any idea on the brand/supplier of the dash mat for the RS4?

I need one to keep the glare out of my eyes and don't know where to buy from.

Thanks!

Yeah the wiring i think will be ok but nm35 firewall behind battery is proving a task for me oversized hands

Put a coat hanger wire through first. Just don't stick it into the wiring loom.

Under dash is my least favorite part of the car. Usually requires a couple of physio appointments after!!

Put a new radiator in my beast today. It seems to have fixed my heat soak under load on the highway problem.

The coolant I dropped from it was still quite brown even after the mechanic was instructed to flush it after doing the welch plugs.

So I did a reverse flush with the old radiator and got rid of some more crap from the engine.

Installed the new radiator with some small difficulties but all in all not too bad for a mid-range aftermarket one.

Needle didn't move much on my highway test run, hoorah!

Also pulled the wheels off I got with the car, one tyre was down to the canvas :O

Put some ford territory steel wheels on instead, they'll do until I save some more money up

Greddy Profec installed...

The unit is extremely well made. I had the now low (9psi) & high (15psi) settings adjusted in 5 mins. The fact it has alarm overboost warning aswell a limiter setting is peace of mind.now to fiddle with the other options utilising the bar graph screen layout option to get the best ramp up to preset pressures....

Why such a low low boost? These cars run 12 psi from factory.

These cars run an easy 12-14psi on standard boost without a tune....shit you could even bump it up to 18psi and the ecu with more than protect everything without a tune.

P.s. The turbo WILL fail one do regardless of the boost....at 9psi the thing would be a bag if shit!!

Its set at 15psi craig. The 9 psi is purely due to low/high settings requiring to be installed.

The donor turbo to be highflowed is 7 weeks away from Japan threw Import Monster (why did i click send by ship)

Ill be happy to be on the road until that stage.

I thought it would be an even bigger bag of shit parked up broken.

Appreciate the feedback tho.

I highly recommend the new Greddy EBC for anyone in shopping for a boost controller.

I wonder what the difference in the spooling rpm is with a greddy profec (or similar EBC) vs a humble ball and spring valve? I know a $30 valve is a big improvement over just running an open line from the pressure source to the wastegate actuator.

Im currently looking for a lower spooling rpm since I have put on a hypergear hi-flow rebuilt turbo.

When do you expect your turbo to start making usefull boost? Here is my chart achieved using a Mac valve and my G4 Link ecu as electronic boost controller:

You get what you pay for. Take a look at the greddy profec pdf and you will understand the difference in having full control in cabin vs standing under the bonnet winding a bleed valve in and out. The main difference is keeping actuator held closed via the solenoid allowing a faster ramp to the set total instead of bleeding of via ball valve.

The proper (Turbosmart style) ball valves actually work in a similar way as the electronic controller, and they do a great job of holding boost pressure off the actuator until the desired boost is reached.

I still prefer an electronic controller for the simple fact they have an overboost warning, and the ability to run a 4 or 5 port MAC valve.

Looks good Toby. :)

At the moment I am running 9psi max boost. I am trying to improve the turbo response under 3000rpm. Currently it starts to build boost from perhaps 2300 rpm, it can produce the full 9psi by 3000 rpm, but I would like to improve that around 2500 - 2700 rpm band where it sits at highway speeds.

Currently I am using a cheapo turbotech (which btw gummed up and caused some big overboosts, resulting in me replacing the turbo), but with very little preload on the spring. It does help the spool compared to a direct wastegate line, but I cant add any more spring pressure without winding the boost up.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
