Electronic Boost control

[gajh]

I am busy fitting an EBC, should the boost sensor be tee'd into the same vac line that goes to the KLR. This is a basic diagram i have

 

[Eldavo]

Yes.

My boost gauge is tee-d into that line in the cabin. My EBC pressure sensor has it's own line as I have a vacuum manifold fitted with 5 individual vac lines but if I didn't I'd be using that line in the engine bay.

Cool thanks for that looks like i am going to busy this weekend

The KLR boost feed is a clear pipe onto a Banjo connection that goes into the inlet manifold between cylinders 3-4. On the later 250bhp models there are two banjo feeds, one with a single pipe one with a dual/ tandem one. The way I took a boost feed did my auxiliary boost gauge was to convert the single banjo bolt to a tandem one, both the bolt and the fitment are standard metric parts and listed one the PET.

Hope that's helps,

Chris

Is this a small trick item that's no longer available? It rings a bell, just...

Yes, you can just make it out on the pic. Got it from a Rennlister (can't remember whom) he did version for standard and S manifolds.

The banjo bolts go through it and you have 5 separate feeds - 4 to use for plumbing and a spare that was capped off until I put my Apexi in. The KLR still has it's own clear line so you get 6 lines including that one.

It's something and nothing really but appealed to me as I can run everything on it own vac line with no T pieces so should minimise leaks. You can also use the spare port to pressurise the system if you have a suspected leak.

Erm.........Apexi AVC-r [8D]

My memory is poor but I think the Rennlist id who made these was either Laust or Lars???

 

[T3rra]

Laust iv got his email somewhere ordered 2 last year been working great. Much tidyer and shorter vac lines

What's this all about Terry? I love tidiness. My AVC-r has been put in with lots of bits of bright blue tubing, Tee's and connectors
and, doesn't look too clever when you open the bonnet [8|]. Pray, enlighten me mate [].

 

[Eldavo]

Yes Laust that's it - I kept thinking of Lart's Parts.

 

[T3rra]

It's just a vacuum mainfold. Theses are custom made to suit the shape off stock manifold. Not sure if there's any more left or being made.

You can get vacuum manifolds from else where and mount anywhere in the engine bay. ....

Ah, so, many thanks terry []. I guess I'd better try to source one before my car gets stripped prior to the rebuild [8D]. Cheers mate.

 

[gajh]

if you manage to source let us know, i have the lyndsey long banjo bolts but I am not totally convinced they are spot on

 

[Eldavo]

Found a better pic of mine:

 

[gajh]

I have seen this on eBay This looks ok

 

[T3rra]

Unversal style will most like require you to mount them against the fire wall or something.

You Only need 5 ports

Is that a lump of wood in your engine Dave?

I'll have to check, the lump of wood usually sits in the driver's seat
