Boosted Performance single turbo build

Dzel · 03-24-2013, 10:22 PM

The HKS ebc is almost $800! Wow and it looks very complicated to install.

The graph shows 12# of boost is that a good idea on a stock block or does that engine have internals?

The AEM uses an older style solenoid (single) that connot keep up with boost changes as well as the newer ones on the market. This is why it did nothing for the drop off in boost. A lot of the better ones will use a dual solenoid. The AEM has no adjustment for rpm. Hks is not the only one with rpm adjustability, just the one I chose.

Sebz might have said it was ok because it was on my car when he tuned it. With that being said it did nothing to help with the drop in boost, so not sure why he recommended it. Perhaps because you already bought it.

Edit* The AEM is fine if your just trying to control boost level. Ie if your trying to go from 8 psi to 10.

Here is the AEM solenoid

Gotcha! Ok what do you mean by adjustment for rpm? Like you can change psi according to whatever rpm your at or at whatever rpm you desire?

Boosted Performance · 03-24-2013, 11:31 PM

Well, sorry I did read it the wrong way then...It has been a long weekend and I am a bit edgy.

blackonorange · 03-24-2013, 11:38 PM

Haha no worries man. It just really put your kit into perspective for me ( even though I've seen it in person). No stress

Lets say I have to run 10% on the ebc to hit 10psi. My boost starts going down around 6500 rpm, so at 6500 I can increase to 15%, and at 6700 to 20% ect... to make my boost hold as close tp 10 psi as possible through the rpm band.

Ok so thats why your saying the AEM BC wont hold boost, or didnt hold boost, because you physically can't adjust it for the rpms to compensate for the loss of boost. Makes sense. Thanks for explaining that to me. Repped sir.

I have never used the AEM unit, but I would assume being it is electronic rather then mechanical, that it has a gain function that would allow you to raise boost pressure up top if it is falling in upper rpms.

Questions answered! Love it I had no idea that the HKS EBC had all those capabilities

Yeah we are in the same boat! I would be pretty shiiit out of luck if it wasn't for the guys on this forum. I have learned so much over this past year

Dzel · 03-25-2013, 02:43 PM

Yeah, it is an oldie now.

I have started fabrication on ten kits, and will do my best to get these finished as soon as possible. However, quality will always come before quantity...and quality always takes a bit longer.

I am thinking of taking deposits in May. At this time (once a deposit is received) I would send the following items:

Oil pan spacer
RTV (for oil spacer install)
Oil cooler
All oil lines
Fuel injectors
Fuel pump
Fuel pump correction kit
UpRev tuner cables
Manuals
Drill/tapp kit for the intake manifold (BOV vacuum source)

and a few other small items...

This would allow the DIY guys to get most of the stuff out of the way, and ready for the easy part...the pipes (both exhaust and intercooler).

The car can be then checked for any oil leaks, and proper function of pumps, inectors cooling system..ect. After that the rest of the kit would follow. Installing the piping is rather easy/straight forward so it would not take long at all.
