you said nipple.

Hooray for boobies!

^ Of course, he means man boobies!

Turbo does not have a nipple.

Sadly.

Thirdgen liked it so much that he kept it for himself.

Pre tb. Always pre tb for wg.

Post tb for bov and ecu.

Yup.

As I understand it, I can have the bov going to the IM and need a source between the IC and TB that goes to the ebc then the wg. It's in the works. I just thought I could get the EBC working in the interim.

Thought I'd just post these up so folks can take a look if they're so inclined.

I realize that the plumbing is far from optimal, but imho there's no reason that EBC shouldn't be functioning at some level. Blow test confirmed that the EBC was plumbed right and working (clicking solenoid etc.). I don't even hear it clicking when driving around.

Any input? The boost caps out at 8 psi which is essentially wastegate here. It's set to go up to 10-12 psi but isn't even close to doing that.

In the attached log you never went full throttle, so your boost target never exceeded 143kpa.
EBC didn't kick in....
You need to use the gas-pedal to increase boost.

Whoops, sorry.

In that log, EBC duty goes to 80 though. In these two logs I had EBC duty set to 60 and I was still on wastegate.

The TPS sensor reads 100.2% in these logs, so the issue from the previous log shouldn't be there.

He's scared of the gas pedal, and he wants it more firm. :jerkit:

Hahaha.

I actually adjusted the slack in the cable which fixed that issue. There was a ton of slop in it, which shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

In the log that stefanst is referring to, I backed off because boost stopped going up. It was apparent to me looking at the gauge but I guess not so much from the log.

where's the picture of how you have your EWG plumbed nothing like I outlined?

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Also, the last batch of logs you attached boost duty only goes up to 60%, not 80%

Outlined in your guide you mean?

It was set to 60 earlier before I upped it to 80. Didn't make any difference. I'll get another pull today.

A is the boost source on the lower of the 2 ports, B is the side heading to the ewg.

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

That's the crappiest picture, which shows nothing.

It shows that the ports are correct. That's what I think brain was asking.

Regardless, I got it to work... Boost came on pretty fast earlier, but now I see 10 psi in the blink of an eye. I'm now stuck with the same shit eating grin I had when I first drove this car with boost.

How long before this thread is renamed, "Ride the Roids Runs Out of Talent!"?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around why somebody would grin after eating shit.

where exactly is the boost source? what exact port on the EWG? (yes, what you pictured looks correct to my docs, but not to my post)

When you are doctor in your country, I hope you don't start operating because a patient goes "Doc, my foot hurts"

:rofl:

​​​​​You realize that I'm an American right?

The boost source and ewg port are the same as they were pre EBC.

EWG: There's only one port connected on the wastegate which Todd had installed. The second port on the ewg doesn't have a port connected.

The boost source is the IM. The BOV is connected in the circuit with the IM heading to the EBC boost source.

The system is working now. I just need to tune ebc because I keep hitting boost cutoff. The spool is instant which is awesome, but I hit fuel cut the second I put my foot on the floor.

Pretty sure I finally hit 200hp haha.

You are doing it wrong. STILL.

Nah, he'll cut off both arms and then realize it's not even the right patient

The WG or EWG should never be referenced to the IM. Never. Not ever. NEVER. NOT EVER.

The EWG or WG should be referenced somewhere between the TB and the compressor. It should not ever be on the intake manifold or any of its plumbing. Never. Not ever. No, not even this time. I don't care what she said. Don't do it that way. Don't touch the intake with it. I said no. Stop it. Quit it now or you will be in big trouble. Just wait until your father gets home. Leave the intake manifold alone. Put it in the intercooler piping like everyone told you. Intercooler piping. Right now. Do it. Do it now. I'm watching you. Put the line on the intercooler piping. Put it there now. OK, that's it, mister. You are in so much trouble. You better put it where I told you right now. Do it. Right now. Do it. I'm serious. Do it now.

:bowrofl:

I already posted earlier that I knew it was wrong. I just wanted to get things working while the parts I need show up.

Things are working. So I'm working on things as they arrive and tuning when I have time in the interim. The routing is working. For the moment, I have functioning EBC. I call that a win.

That's not "working." You know it's wrong, just fix it. There's not a single part that you could possibly be waiting on that necessitates you fixing a bad thing in the meantime.

WG won't open at part throttle boost and you risk over spinning/over boosting the turbo plumbed that way.

But it makes some seriously awesome noises tho :)

Hm. I hadn't heard any turbo flutter tbh.

I know this because when I drove the car for the first time, I had forgotten to plug in the BOV.

Why wouldn't the WG open?

Wouldn't the BOV be responsible for doing that? I can hear the BOV go off every time I take my foot off the gas.

Like I said, I'm working on it. Car has honestly not been driven all that much in the past few weeks because of rotations. I drive the subie for rotations.

On a learning note: If the BOV is connected to the 'circuit' before entering the EBC, why wouldn't things open? The BOV is responsible for releasing the built up pressure when letting off at part throttle right? So if I let off the throttle, it senses the pressure differential and opens. This is how its been happening anyway. If the BOV was connected PAST the EBC, i.e. on the way to the WG, then I can see having an issue.

no pictures, you filthy american!

unrelated note: installed sliders on all the shocks

:(

Last piece of advice from me, totally serious.

You need to fix your boost source. Then you should disconnect EBC and just run wastegate pressure. I am not going to make any predictions, leave that to 18. However, that is what you should do.

Holt on. Imma draw u a pictor.

The BOV and the WG are 2 completely different systems doing completely different things and have nothing to do with each other.

And they are looking for two different signal sources.

someone hold his beer

Ohh Ohhh Pick me! Pick me!

Ok, her is teh pictor i drawed. Is rish an his miata drivin.

It's almost "Starry Night" ;)

Omg it's bootifool

😍😍😍

Sounds like a thread title change might be in order.

Something like rtc goes rtb, rhoid the bootyfool seems more like a petite member ;)

Hey Aidan, did you ever find the change user name button?

Aidan does not have the power to change user names. Only admins can do that, and we tend not to unless it is a really good reason.

Exactly. Just ask Peter Pan.

:rofl:
Ok, Ok, I was just bein' obnoxious
:rofl:

As a certifiable full retard, I find this thread title defensive.

They're talkin' bout his timing

defensive? Because all our harsh abuse is directed towards RTC and not you? or because you're silly stupid and don't understand how words work?

That last one. :p

Yeesh... If people think this is harsh abuse, they should try getting yelled at during surgery. Pretty sure the fetching Mr. Dallas was being self deprecating by saying defensive instead of offensive as well, heh.

In any event...

I installed a pre IC boost source yesterday. Need to go test it out and make sure there aren't any leaks or anything.

IC piping sucks to work with sometimes. I had to replace one coupler and it was a bitch getting everything lined up again after.

In any event... EBC and BOV are two separate circuits.
​​​​​​
EBC gets boost from a pre TB source and goes directly to the wastegate. BOV connects to the IM pre TB.

Edit: Bov connects POST TB on the IM. As boone said below, there's no such thing as a pre TB IM... Gahhhh....

The intake manifold is post throttle body......It sounds like you are heading in the right direction now.

Again reminded why I unsubbed.

BOV GOES POST THROTTLE BODY. OR IT WONT SEE VACUUM.

Goddamit I meant to write post.

BOV is connected to the IM where the initial boost source was. Dammit.

Fucking seriously. I should have taken brains advice and taken a picture to spare myself the trouble of looking more inept than I actually am.

Fuck.

Edit: Boone got it. IM is post TB. I apparently can't communicate worth a damn. Haha sorry Aidan...

knowing you, we weren't so sure.

what's to stop you from mounting the tb onto the muffler? :D

As a certifiably defensive person, I find this thread retarded.

:rofl:

and just like that, a new name was coined
