Discussion and technical advice the SW20 MR2. 3S-GTE, 3S-GE, 3S-FE etc
Anything and everything to do with maintenance, modifications and electrical is in here for the Mk2.
Can anyone help me out please i have a MBC and a boost gauge to fit ideally i want to get this done today i have a rev 4 turbo but i am not sure where to plumb this in, i have read a few threads on here but they where for a rev 1/2 not a rev4
If anyone can offer me some advice and maybe a few pictures i can refer to that would be excellent
Thanks
The MBC needs to be fitted in between the hose that goes between the turbo's compressor housing and the actuator. You will also need to disconnect your TVSV.
Jack the car up at little on the rear drivers side, just to give yourself some room.
Get under the car and you'll see a little unit attached to inlet runner number4(count from the dizzy), thats the TVSV valve. Take the plug off that and you're done.
For the boost gauge you can basically tap any of the small vac pipes coming off the throttle body, I put mine in the pipe that goes between the throttle body and fuel pressure regulator.
Good point, its all bloody tight in there, and lots of large and small coolant pipes all over the place.
Burned myself a couple of times yesterday faffing with the vac hoses after fitting my boost controller
thanks for the reply's well i got the boost gauge all up and running and my 3 pod gauge unit in i'm more than impressed with it but i didnt have enough pipe left over to do the MBC so that's a job for next weekend
