Heya gents n gals,

Just after some advice regarding mounting of an ebc in my mates c34, am throwing a blitz dual SBC in and am looking at places to mount the controller in the car, a vac line has to go to the unit for boost reference, so got a keep that in mind.

I just can't find anywhere that's discreet and still visible.

Don't want it on the steering column, way too obvious, same on the dash, not very sleeper, down by the knees is a bit hard to view, and not much space since the brake release and coin tray are there.

Was thinking of dremeling out the ashtray and mounting it inside there, but it ts not very visible, was thinking inside the glovebox, like Velcro to the roof of it, but then u gota drive round with the glovebox open to see boost.....

So, I'd like suggestions and pics...got bout 12hours or so until i get to it... Hoping weather holds out and we make it to the motorplex with the new round of mods....

Done a bit of searching through the forums and couldn't find anything stag specific to this.

Cheers

I know its not in the dash, but I mounted mine on the top of the steering column in my Supra and on the Bottom side of my dashboard in my ER34.

In my 34 I had installed it in the small compartment on the lower right side of the dashboard. IDK if the C34 has that but if it does, my Profec fit perfectly, all I had to to was drill a small hole in the back for the wires.

Or you could mount in the position that the turbo timer is mounted in this celica. Clean accessible, but not clearly visible from outside the car.

Just my 2 cents. :)

c34 has the coin compartment on the lower rhs, theres a fuse box directly behind it, so my only concern is clearance, can i do it without kinking any of the lines, visibility is low there, but thats essentially where ive mounted my ebc in my aristo...

cant mount it as per celica due to the coin compartment handle being there...

thanks for the suggestions so far, keep it coming guys!

how do u manage that with the handbrake lever being there?

i ended up taking the latch off the coin compartment and mounting it on the door of the compartment, drilling holes for the wiring loom. somebody at sum point has used a silicon based cleaner on the trims tho, coz double sided tape doesnt stick, so will use some iso n clean the trims so the door stays shut on the compartment.

now the issue is the infamous stutter round 4-4.5k ony got to a peak of 8.9psi stutters like f*k, but clears out by 5ish like all other rb's do!

turned the boost controller off and its still running 6.9psi and still stuttering...my 2jz doesnt have these issues....

:rofl:

Had a look at the car today, its running iridium's at 1.1mm, so will b chucking sum coppers in there tomorrow and will gap them to .8

My mate is most unhappy to hear bout the ecu not liking boost. Splitfires seem to have a good reputation amongst rb ppls, so have recommended that to him too...

Money money money, I spent 4k on my car just recently, so I cant really comment...

      EFR7670 exhaust selection RB26

      By LegendGTR · Posted

      I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀

      Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?

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

      By PranK · Posted

      This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!

      OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
