Hey,

I decided to hook up the ebc after a long time(was using link boost control instead).

Setting 1 set to 10 psi - DC - 20, Gain - 0

Setting 2 set to 17 psi - DC - 55, Gain - 0

Spike protection set to 0 - Running in closed loop. Not using Overboost etc or any other features that I know of.

Problem - High boost will drop to 10psi or so in higher gears. Eg, Take off in 1st - 17psi.. 2nd, 3rd on wards I only see 10~psi.

What am I doing wrong? btw, not a factory turbo and setup.

I'll go for another drive today to confirm the above, but from my drive the other day that's what I noticed.

Most ebc if u turn the gain up it helps to hold the boost from dropping off. But if urs is not reaching the desired boost in higher gears then i would try running open loop so it uses duty cycle only.

Why dont u like the link boost control?

Hmm.. havent tried open loop. Guess I could try that out, thanks! :)

Gain definitely needs to be turned up.

Hmm, I did have gain up as well. I will go for a drive and test upping the gain to around the same as DC. If that doesnt work, I'll try open loop mode.

What a weird issue eh?

Thanks for the help so far guys.

No, not a stock turbo. Using a 10psi R32 actuator.

Issue seems to be resolved. I tried open loop - no go.

Increased the Gain to 35. Will fine tune it later on, but it seems to be okay and holds 15psi through 1,2,3rd(Couldnt go higher as traction/public roads). Have my DC set to 55. Car is tuned to 1.1 bar, but thought Id set it to 15psi instead of 17.

With high boost I need to upshift very quickly as it gets to the limiter in a hurry, lol.

the basics are that the duty controls how much boost % you have and gain controls how quickly it will get there, turn the gain up too high and you will over boost, just have to play with it to get the perfect combination.

On your original settings it would have taken ages to get full boost, should be heaps better now that you have increased the gain, the way i did mine was to keep turning the gain up till it started to over boost then turn it down a little.

One way to fix the traction issue is using the button you got with it (if you have the same unit as mine), you can use it as an overboost button or you can use it to cycle through the presets.

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
