Fitting a mechanical boost controller.
I had a search and i couldnt find anything that helped me so could some kind person explaine to me how i fit a boost controller to my S12.
I purchassed this controller; http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...Drift/mbc1.jpg I know it plumbs into the vacuum line, but how so? Pictures or a funky diagram would benifit me also others looking at fitting one in the near future? Dazz |
Find the pipe that goes from the actuator to the turbo and connect the small bit inline
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...DSC00302-1.jpg connect that to the bigger bit you have in the car and run a little pipe back into engine bay as this will chuck fumes out so best not to have it in car. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v249/sil18t/mbc1.jpg Its sumat like this anyway. The arrow on the small bit is confusing me though so maybe those two (turbo and to big bit in car)are swapped around but i recon that looks right unless anyone else can shed some extra light on it. |
Its an ebay rip off of a turbosmart controller. An I reckon you can do away with the t piece all together.
Be aware the cheap ones are known to be quite sensitive and like to bleed off too much |
You guys are legends, so by looking at the pic's and as 30psi says, i could lose the t-piece?
|
Dont see how can you loose the t-piece when the big bit aint got a third bit to bleed off with:confused:
|
Bleed was the wrong thing to say. Its a ball and spring jobby I'm assuming. Best get it open and see, but yeah otherwise you need that.
|
yea the cheep controllers are seen as bleed valves and can be very prone to spiking in the boost and i ran one of the apex performance manual ones for i while and they come highly recomended. I would agree with you 30psi as to ditch off the t-piece. Every manual one i have seen only has 2 ports... in and out which you just put inline on the pipe that goes on to the actuator
|
Best get it apart, if its a bleed valve then you will need the t piece, if its a ball and spring job it won't
