SimonT Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Rich tea's are out of the equation for me it would have to be hob nobs, oreo's or even better maryland cookies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Never mind the fuel pump, you want an EBC and a piggy back ecu installed onto your car for biscuits? Anyone fancy installing my single for me? I'll up it to a full battenberg or cake of your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 ill pull out the double chocolate fudge cake to finish my car off for me now now chaps lets not be so hard on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Fuel pump would only be an hours work, Map ECU 23 seconds as its just a plug with a bolt in it, AEM BC is just 2 hoses and an electrical connection so that's about an hour. Im not doing it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hp006 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 So everyone got advice on it then. The map ecu i can do the fuel pump i can do. The aem boost controller i hav'nt got a clue. "AEM BC is just 2 hoses and an electrical connection so that's about an hour" Any idea where the 2 hoses go and what needs blocking off????

The solenoid plugs in where the green arrows point. The red arrows point where the hoses are removed from and the blue arrows shows what can be left off. Nothing needs blocked.

hp006 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 From the pic you have sent i have found the blue to disconnect. Where is the rear red lines to disconnect. Is it easy to find, what am i looking for as the pic is not clear. Is it a fight to get to as the engine is the way? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showpos...71&postcount=5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 You are only removing 2 pipes. The one that goes from the 1st tubby compressor housing to the top of the actuator, and the one that goes from the middle of the actuator to the wastegate VSV. The 4 red arrows show the 4 points that these 2 pipes connect to. Nothing goes in place between the vsv and the actuator as this isn't needed with an EBC (blue lines) and the solenoid for the AEM goes between the top actuator and the compressor housing (green lines) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Is it a fight to get to as the engine is the way? Remove the engine, its a lot easier then DONT REMOVE IT! i was kidding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hp006 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Sorry i know im being a pain but ur last post helped a lot. What happens to the waste gate / actuator then, This left with nothing on it then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Sorry i know im being a pain but ur last post helped a lot. What happens to the waste gate / actuator then, This left with nothing on it then? Your actuator has 2 connections. One that works the arm and the other that regulates the actuator. The regulator is not needed when the EBC is in place. The wastegate still works as it should via the EBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 i would fit it for a whopper meal. and a foot long sub. but with your fuel costs of bringing it its probably not worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hp006 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Silly question which acuator is it as from looking at all the pics there seems to be lots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I don't get what you are struggling with here mate? There are only 4 connections to remove, and 2 to replace. That means doing 6 things in total to get this up and running. The actuator (of which there is only one in that pic) is being pointed at by the 3rd red line (from the top down). To re-cap. You are taking out 2 lenghts of hose, and replacing one of the lengths of hose with the AEM soleniod.... job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hp006 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Sorry the picture is not clear. I can see the wastegate acuator, that i take the pipe off (third red line) and i can get the vsv (4th red line off) = both blue lines. Is the 2nd red line the top of the waste gate actuator and the 1st red line the tubby compressor housing then? Is turbo 1 nearest the front of the car? Think after this i will be able to do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hp006 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 last question then i will leave alone till i start playing. The two wires on the solenoid, where do they go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Absolutely no idea. To the AEM controller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
