Fly Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 i dont know why people dont turn the housing around so it not by the manifol? easyest way How do you mean Craig? The only way I can imagine is to clock it so the compressor out is facing upwards which doesn't sound right. Payment sent by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsdeep Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Yup side port to turbo, top port left open, solenoid has a hose looped from port 1 to 2. The boost gauge Iv tapped into a hose going into the manifold And bov tapped into the otherside of the manifold: As for afr's I can't be certain!

dr_jekyll Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 thats how i do them now, nothing melts. more space undernieth. and muck easer to access Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it isn't a lot more pipe work either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 not atall. its much tidyer imho and never has melting issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsdeep Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Where is your boost gauge tapped into and is anything else using the same vac line? Not to open a can of worms but is the boost gauge reading the correct manifold pressure Come To think about it my gauge doesn't let me drop the spring pressure below 6.9ish and I'm using a 4.5psi spring? Surely that's not right? It's the aem tru boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_jekyll Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 i used to weld the 90s on before i started doing this. its easyer and cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 i used to weld the 90s on before i started doing this. its easyer and cheaper Do you suffer from greater heat soak though with the routing of the intake pipe going past the entire hot side? Do you have any pics of how you run the pipes under the car? Gaz, I have no idea with aem tru boost. I would have thought it would allow you to set anything, though setting a value below that of the spring wouldn't do anything would it. Ile try and find an online instruction manual, I use the profec b so I'm more used to that and it's crazyness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsdeep Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Supposed to be set to when the wg starts to crack open, instructions say 3psi lower than the spring but I can't adjust it any lower, unlikely it's causing my problem but its defenalty points towards a dodgy gauge?

dr_jekyll Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 i have a heat shield over the hot side if you look real close it curves all the way around , hardly any head is on the pipe when you touch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsdeep Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Here you go guys, not connected up but you get the idea, this way I can't clock it any more, hence why it melted. so i might get another IC pipe and route it slightly higher. Berg if you could get a picture up so I could compare t would help a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yours looks like its facing down toward the manifold runners a bit more than mine Mine faces the strut tower alot more and i have my pipes on the side of the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsdeep Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) I see what you've done there! I'm gona need another piece of IC pipe Anyone got a spare.. I'd like a one with a 90degree bend in.. Edit: found one so glad I didn't bin it with the rest of them!!

Noz Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 It's a absolute nightmare that setup. If you ever get the chance, get an elbow welded onto the end. I wish I had. A right PITA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Berg, I see you are taking your compressor vacuume off a silicone hose, how have you done that/ what have you used. Just got another t61 it's funny how different the "same" t61 from xspower could be!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Cheers mate, I might do that or drill and tap the hard inter cooler pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsdeep Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Ooooushhh mappings going well! boost held Nicely with the precision wg so Iv treated myself to a gfb boost controller, I don't know very much about ebc's but at tuning developments there raving about it. I'm excited to see what power she makes now! http://www.gfb.com.au/products/boost-controllers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballsdeep Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Thanks guys, I'm so pleased after so many failed mapping sessions! At the minute just 5psi with a 4.5psi spring installed then once the ebc is fitted they can turn the boost up. Hopefully be finished tomorrow Edited November 14, 2013 by ballsdeep (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
