I am patting myself on the back. I just finished my first EBC install. As retarded as it sounds, the hardest part was getting the damn 4mm vacuum line and the connector for the control unit through the firewall. That took over an hour alone. Grr. Still gotta clean everything up, but the first test run (at stock levels) shows that the install was a success. Tuning will be happening over a period of time...which brings me to the point of this thread:

Who all has installed this EBC? I'm looking at the manual here, and the damn thing contradicts itself with all the settings and %'s and shit! I looked up some Supra guy's numbers/settings, and got some good starting references. But if someone can really break down what each setting actually means, that would be a HUGE help in getting me on the dyno to show what my little single can really do!

Congratualtions....Your car looked good on the Dyno at Millenium..........Sorry I cant help you with the EBC thing though, dont know much about electronics but I bet a Supra board would know.......

Yeah, I'm trying a little on my own before I go on there, but I posted here because so many people who know me can finally breath a sigh of relief because I won't have any more lame "Boost control" excuses, lol. Tried tuning a little today, it's very weird to figure out, I'll give it that. But I got it to spool HARD to .8 bar, then it spikes and levels off and stays there all through. Once I get that nasty .1 bar spike out of the map, I'll up the boost to where it's supposed to be (around 1.1-1.25) and see what she does. I can't WAIT!

Very cool, the method is pretty much exactly what I planned on doing tonight. Thanks!

Damn, but I gotta wait for the traffic to die down on 264. Kinda hard to make many 4th gear passes when I'm over 100 when I shut down. Grr!

ive installed/have one... 55% is about 15 psi i remember

if u need help tuning it and setting the antilag control i can help u...

also setting over boost and so if u boost over max it will decrease your boost automatic...

also setting the boost gain so it will gain % at a time when you havnet hit full boost in 1st or 2nd gear

its bitch to change it from metric to standard measurements i thoguht

IM me on aim if u need help...

MerF

Yeah, it reads 14.5 PSI as 14, 10 PSI as 100, etc...ghey. So now I have a gauge that reads bar, a timer that reads only bar, and a EBC that reads bar...and I hate reading bar. LOL!!! So it goes I suppose. BTW, the 55% being 15 PSI was with your wastegate, as far as I can tell by these directions in front of me. It's a percentage of what your turbo/WG can handle supposedly...how it could possibly know that is beyond me...then again, maybe you are right. I'll post my settings tonight when I get done tuning!

Boosted2003

yeah i forgot its different for every car....

but as for the wastegate it reads in pressure varience.... it basically feels the pressure from the diafram...

by the way gurls those are like trampoilins for guy

Nice.
