I got a manual boost controller and I'm having a hard time trying to find which vacuum hoses to connect it to.
If someone could post some pics or something that would be great

 

Which boost controller? There are different types?.Are you the one I tried talking into getting a Hallman Pro MBC?

Sorry my first real post here in about a week.. falling behind on PM correspondence too.

 

It's a blox boost controller
No that wasn't me haha

 

One of these?:

 

Well usually mbc are hooked up directly from the turbo boost source/outlet nipple and the wastegate actuator.

 

yeap exactly

 

there is a short hose coming off of the wastegate but it looks like it goes back into the turbo? is that the hose i need?

 

Yes that is the hose.

On one of those Blox MBC's, which looks to be the same style as the Hallman, requires you to run the line from the wastegate to the "side" port and the boost reference line to the "bottom" port.

The nipple in the compressor housing is where you will want to attach the bottom port. That is the boost reference.

 

For boost reference couldn't I just plug into the vacuum hose that the boost gauge is connected to?

 

Nevermind I figured it out haha
Thanks for the help!

 

Just curious while I have a thread open.. How much boost is everyone running? I hve mine set to about 8lbs right now I'm gonna run it like that for a day or two and pull the plugs and see how they look.

 

I'm running 15 psi

 

What all do you have on your car?

 

Hks turbo kit, boost gauge, aem wideband, aem fic and RDX injectors

 

And obviously a mbc

 

how long have you been boosting that much? have you had it dynoed?
im gonna have some money to blow on my car here soon so im trying to gather up a shopping list

 

Very nice TDM! I want to know what sort of torque you're making.. when do you see full boost? Which turbo (compressor/turbine) is this on again?

 

What did you have in mind?

The only limit is going to be cylinder pressure, and even then it is the angle at which cylinder pressure peaks that is going to be crucial, which is most closely related to timing.

Beyond that heat is your next biggest enemy. An efficient compressor, turbine and intercooler with good fuel will allow for a surprising amount of power out of our stock long blocks.

I truly believe that I'll be able to push >30lbs/min through the L15A, and as soon as my budget and other obligations allow that is precisely what I intend to do.

 

Well I was planning on some new injectors and possibly fuel pump, I was thinking about trying to find some rsx injectors, then an aem wideband, a water/meth kit, and a couple more gauges. That's pretty much my list so far and of course a good tune

 

What are your goals? You may not need the fuel pump. Especially if you are planning on a water/meth kit. The meth is another fuel, likes to run pig rich vs. gas scale AFRs and will bring your IDCs down considerably. Having the FIC attached to dial in the tune on meth should allow you to take advantage of both the turbo and the meth kit.

Will cool the charge, make for a huge bump in octane and allow for a ton more boost and/or timing.

What is your Intercooler/Turbo/Wastegate/Exhaust setup like?

For random example of what I am looking for:
GT2554R with .48A/R turbine, with a 14" x 8" x 2" intercooler and a 2.5" ID exhaust

That sort of info along with what your final goals are will help me a ton in making any suggestions
