Bailey. Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 CheerS guys, it's bin fun all the way, I've loved it, all that's left is finishing the vacuum pipes off, and wiring in the hks afk knock amp, and she will be ready to fire. With a bit of luck, by the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leelbuk Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Don't forget to get a video of the big moment! Bet you're getting excited now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 I will have a video alright, I'm stuck, has anyone got a diagram for vacuum and boost lines for a single with standard inlet, pretty please??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Any help with this guys, i need a diagram to make sure i got it right????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Any help with this guys, i need a diagram to make sure i got it right????? What diagram do you need exactly? You mean for the wastegate side of things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leelbuk Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 As above mate, what are you having issue with? Do you just need to know what all your vacuum/boost (same thing) sources will be used for now? I think the ones I have from memory are PAS idle up, MAP sensor, FPR, boost gauge and external wastegate. Oh and a breather hose connected to the PCV on the inlet cam cover. I just connected all these up the what was available on the intake plenum with vacuum hosing (with T-pieces where appropriate). anything left I've blocked off.

Bailey. Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 What diagram do you need exactly? You mean for the wastegate side of things? No mate wastegate I'm good, it's bc and inlet mani that I want to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) At the moment, from the same outlet on the inlet mani i have the map sensor, boost in on bc solinoid, t off to defi boost gauge sensor, and one off to another black sensor on the mani. One off the mani heading into the cabin and to the bc itself, and the one off the back of the mani going to vacuum on the fpr. How pissed am i????? EDIT If what Lee has wrote above works, then im ok because thats how mine is, one thing though, i have a t piece on the teflon line coming off the bc, why do i need t there? Is it so i can cut into an existing pipe? EDIT #2 And on the instructions it says the in off the boost solinoid needs to go on somewhere before the tb??? Edited April 28, 2011 by Bailey.

leelbuk Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I think I know what you mean Andy - When plumbing in a boost controller to the external wastegate you need to tee off one of the boost lines. I used this diagram that Kev.O posted in another thread to do this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Paul I have a blitz dual sbc Lee, Yeah, I have the in on the solenoid going to the inlet mani and the out to the wastegate, and the one off the comp housing to the wastegate too. Is that right? I also have a line going from the inlet inside the car which I was planning to connect to the boost controller?? Correct or totally wrong?

Bailey. Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 well, this is a little bit of art that i have put together, im sure im wrong i just dont know where?? Sorry about the angle guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 on my setup, I have the vac pipes for the wastegate & boost solenoid coming off the turbo using -4 an hoses... just to keep them as short as possible. I have the MAP sensor coming off the inlet maifold, Boost Guage, FPR and bov come off the inlet manifold via a distribution block, again, everything kept as short as possible.

Bailey. Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 How does using the -4 make it shorter mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 How does using the -4 make it shorter mate? it doenst, only was saying i'm using -4 instead of conventional silicone vac pipes..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Ah ok bud, does my art work look like it will work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Ah ok bud, does my art work look like it will work? yup, but i'd be tempted to take the boost controller solennoid and watsegate feeds from the turbo, all you would have to do is add a "T" piece...

Bailey. Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 So the in on the solenoid and the bc feed into the pipe off the comp housing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leelbuk Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I thought it be best to keep mine short too but my compressor housing has no barb on it for fitting it there so I had no choice but to route it all the way from the inlet manifold. Ryan had steady control over my boost by the looks of my dyno chart so it seems ok like this As for how you've done it Andy it looks right and as you are not using the ECU to control boost then yes your boost controller will also be needing to read the current manifold pressure so you are right on all counts I'd say! Is the v pro not capable of controlling boost at all? Just wondered why you didn't go with ECU control? With a separate controller you can have instant manual control over the boost but I find just having a high/low setting is good enough for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 So the in on the solenoid and the bc feed into the pipe off the comp housing? Yup, thats how I did mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leelbuk Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 So the in on the solenoid and the bc feed into the pipe off the comp housing? The boost controller should get it's reference from the manifold - it is the pressure there that it is trying to control after all EDIT: As per Si's post, I suspect that either would work so I'd go with whatever uses the least pipe possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 sorry, just realised what I said there... I have the solenoid and wastegate off the compressor... (i dont have a boost controller!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Thanks guys, your diamond, si, what solenoid do u have then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Thanks guys, your diamond, si, what solenoid do u have then? its an "MAC/AEM" - I belive its the same as an Apexi one... As I have an AEM ECU which can control the solenoid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
