I have a problem with this ebc.

Followed the instructions, did exactly what it told me to do, I never done electronics since year 10, I'm 110% certain that I have the correct port.

So this is what I bought:

Finishing soldering connect 12v to accessories and earth to see that the ebc and hand controller are in good working order.

Turned the ignition on and I got black boxes, double checked everything to see if I had the correct port plug (which I did), could no make what the problem was.

On the IEBC the led closes to port (from this picture top right corner) was on, also the instruction manual says that IC1 has a dot and IC2 has a line but the chips on my kit didn't have that so swapped IC1 with IC2 while testing to see if this was the cause of my problem, and then some component fused out (don't no which one) so now I'm not getting power to the hand controller, included some high resolution pics.

I still get the red led on but the big capacitor (bottom right, looks like a battery) does not heat up like usual.

You have got the chips the wrong way round. If you look on the instructions you will see that they both have the same PIC number but IC1 has written to the left , vertically, the number EZ8996 and

IC2 has printed left to right just below it (LINE) EZ8997 and these numbers are printed on the chips ...also can't see from your photo but cutouts on the chips have to go as per the printed diagram ( up for LC1 and to the left for LC2)

Other things to check (can't see from your photo) is that the jumpers should be left off (or removed) from LK1 and LK3 but the one on LK2 should already be in the right place. The usual reason for lack of display is that you need to turn the trimpot all the way up (clockwise I think).

If you think you have damaged a component you should be able to get a replacement from Jaycar.

There is a link that some people forget ( I can't see mine just now its in the car ) but I think there is one that goes undert the DB25 socket - I''l have a look when its daylight and check.

Some warnings: always plug in the hand controller before powering up. Also it seems a good idea not to switch between boost maps while powered up. (I plan to use one map only anyway). I have these kits for ages and have only just finished them (I would have bought them assembled if I could) but haven't got around to installing them so I will try to install at tleast the IEBC in the morning.

Thx KiwiRS4T, I did plug the iebc with the hand controller before turning the power on and I adjusted the trimpod but all I got was boxes, in that pics I have the IC's in the wrong place but they originally in the correct place(I swapped them around just to check if the instructions were incorrect).

In regards to the Links you can adjust these even if your not using them

Anyway the PCB is melted from 12v, i think I left the low high boost in-between (i think), whats interesting is I didn't blown the fuse.

I have some question for my second kit!

The 3 red leds, do they go only one way as the diagram is showing A and flat side K.

The 22 crystalls (<X2 10Mhz> and <X1 20Mhz>) from the diagram the one closes to the port shows a link nex to the crystall and, bottom right shows the other crystall with links, are these supposto to be fused on?

The resistors, can they go both ways?

And last whats the trimpod on the IEBC used for?

HI all

Hopefully someone can offer some advice as I have built the jaycar boost controller for my rb25det motor.

The issue I have is I cannot get a satble reading in run mode for the duty cycle. I have tried adjusting the trim pot but it is ether 1 or 64 and if I move the trimpot carfully I can get one point were the duty cycle just fluctuates up and down\. Everything else works???

any advice would be greatly apperciated as Ithe only info I can find is saying it can be uneven if you have peak hol;d injectors and havent found any info about you guys needing the adaptor for these???

Thanks

Sorry I am by no means an electronic expert. I built the controller myself but needed help for the other two. I know that the resistors can go either way and the trimpot in the IEBC is needed for fine tuning.

I'm not the best person to give advice but I know that the RB25DET does not have peak hold injectors. 64 seems to be the default reading. Have you tried making adjustments with the buttons or pushing the reset button? I'm pretty sure the trimpot on the IEBC needs to be full on . (Actually have reread the instructions and the trimpot is needed for fine tuning.

Link 2 negative --- solenoid stays shut with 0% duty cycle and stays fully open at 100% duty cycle

positive --- solenoid stays open with 0% duty cycle and stays fully closed at 100% duty cycle

The manual recommends you leave it as negative, this may not be the case with your problem, also check if your actuator is a "normal open" or normally closed which is preferable.

Link1 and 3 should be left out.

Link 4 should be negative and 5 positive

Hi all, thought this info might be useful, reproduced from the Jaycar forums from the link above (thanks to LZY115!):

I have just completed the hand controller and IEBC unit. There is indeed a missing connection on the updated printed circuit board for the hand controller.

There should be a connection between pin 14 on the LCD display module to pin 10 on the DB25 socket. In reality these two PCB pads are very close together and can be linked by a small solder bridge. Without this connection your LCD display on the hand controller will show a line of black boxes on the top line.

Also take note on what the instructions say about connecting the hand controller to your main module before powering up the main module.

In regards to my previous post the new boards do no have this problem.

I finally got mine working. Things that I did wrong was bad solder, solder bridges, incorrect led installation, thats it, I do agree you do need some basic understand about electronics.

Also you have to check with a multimeter for continuity (low ohms connection) between pin 4 of the LCD module in the hand controller and pin 13 of IC2 of the IEBC for low ohms. Also check for continuity between pin 6 of the LCD module and pin 10 of IC2, pin 14 of the LCD module and pin 9 of IC2, pin 13 of the LCD module and pin 8 of IC2, pin 12 of the LCD module and pin 7 of IC2 and also pin 11 of the LCD module and pin 6 of IC2. Make sure that there is not a short between adjacent connections.

Everything is working except for the solenoid, tried it with hoses connect both ways and they dont work. Seem to be getting 5psi only. Not too certain is this has anything to do with me running a haltech.

Is there a problem in using injector 2, i can not locate injector 1 on the ecm loom(s15) 101 W/G, pin out 101 on mine is W/Black.

No any injector will do (tap in only)

Have you tested the solenoid to make sure it is normally closed?

Cut the solenoid wire from the ecu and replaced the signal to solenoid with the one from EIBC?

Routed the pipes correctly? From boost pipe to solenoid , solenoid to T ...one to actuator other side back to inlet (this one has the restrictor - make hole diameter bigger for more boost.)NB note correction...I wrongly put "make hole smaller" before I deleted that post.

I had a quick look on Google and there are a number of s15 ecu pinout charts both agree that 101 in no 1 injector - some say W/G and some W/B so you will probably be OK. Solenoid is 115 o/b

^^^ Piping is correct, I dont think the solenoid is working,while listening there isn't that buzz noise the solenoid (I think) makes, s15 are a NC type, fusion on posts 16 17 on this thread had the same issue, their NC.

So should i a)joing the solenoid wire to the ecu or b) cut the wire from the ecu and wire it directly the IEBC?

In not too certain if this makes a difference but im running a haltech e8 with plug in adaptor for the wiring loom and map sensor, im almost sure that this wont make a difference.

So far im only getting 5psi, the solenoid can only go two ways and I tried both, I still get 5psi.

First Im going to check for blown fuses, then manually operate the solenoid to check for malfunctions, last will be the wiring.

One last thing, the solenoid as two wires O and O/B, im assuming O is for earth?

You need to cut the wire from the ecu and tape it up - the ecu no longer connects to the solenoid- and connect the other end that goes to the solenoid to the black wire from the IEBC. The colour code you mention for the solenoid wires sounds right but I can't confirm as i have a Stagea.

With the solenoid closed or not working at all you should be getting full boost -whatever your turbo can make (1bar+ ) as the actuator should not be working at all. Have you started off with your IEBC set to zero?

^^^^^^^^^^^Im probrably not getting full boost due to vent between the solenoid and the actuator??

Maybe the hole is too big, I might block the hole completly and see what occurs.

Yeah, IEBC had 0% duty on all 64 points.

Ill cut the wire of the ecu (O/b) and wire it directly to the IEBC and block the vent hole.

In regards to the piping.

Orginal: 1- solenoid to t piece which goes to vac source and actuator

2- solenoid to intake pipe

IEBC: 1- solenoid to t piece which goes to actuator and vent goes to intake pipe

2- solenoid to vac source

If you have the hoses the right way round (on my car the pipe from the intercooler giving boost goes to the top pipe of the solenoid and the bottom pipe is the outlet) then if the IEBC is set to zero then no pressure should be getting through the solenoid and thus nothing going to the actuator or to the vent so blocking the vent will make no difference. It sounds as though the wiring is the problem and if you do as you say above that will hopefully fix it. At zero setting you should get full boost and then you can gradually turn up the numbers to bring the boost on more gradually and to limit the max boost and then turn the numbers down again when the turbo runs out of puff. Then you can adjust the size of the vent (make it bigger) to bring the boost on earlier although if that makes the IEBC work too hard at max boost (more then 80% duty cycle) then you could reduce the size of the vent a little.

BTW I'm not sure you have the original piping correct but anyway here is a photo of how it should be now (see post #41)

^^^Makes sense I should be seeing infinite boost, almost 100% certain that its the electrical wire going to the solenoid or the solenoid itself.

IMG_3791.jpg

This is the pic of a s15 one, factory piping the top part (piping that is blocked) goes to the vac sour and actuator via t piece.

Its working its working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the s15 the way the piping goes is the same. Its just that everything looks different.

What I did wrong was joined the actuator wire, what I should have done was cut the wire off the ecu and joing it directly to the iebc.

This thread saved me from constante swearing, thanks KiwiRS4T and guys.

Hey all,

I have built the digital fuel adjuster kit but have lost the instructions. The kit works fine but I need to adjust the trim pots and I am just guessing with the instructions. Does anyone have an electronic copy of the instructions they can pm me... Or is there anyone in newy with the instructions that I borrow for a day to make a copy?

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
