EDS manifold install

[@haphazardgarage6439]

Nice technical video mate! I liked it!

[@boosthit811]

Congratulations, you popped my comment cherry! 🤣🤣 Thanks man.

Hiya mate, been waiting for a little while for a decent guide, really good vid! I'm currently doing the same at the moment but with engine in vehicle, hoping to keep alternator in place aswell:/? was wondering is there a bolt on the bottom of the standard inlet manifold at the back if your looking at the bay from the front? Cheers bud

[@boosthit811]

Hey thanks man. Yeah the rear vacuum box and bcs (boost control solenoid) mount attach at one point at the bottom/back of the manifold. From memory I think you would get to it from under the car.

[@anthony46981]

What did you do with the bracket from the back of the altonator ? Just leave it off ? And did yours come with a extra bracket . What's that for ??

[@boosthit811]

Um.....just exactly as in the video. If there are no bolt holes to mount it have to leave it off.

[@cyclecamberlin3697]

Did you change the ECU-software after install or is it still original?

[@boosthit811]

The manifold upgrade was just part of a complete engine rebuild etc. So I got a re map after everything was done....

Did yours stop boosting and go into limp with this before tuning, mine is and thinking it shouldnt?

No. Was all good

What did you do about the vacuum box thing that used to bolt to the original inlet manifold?

[@boosthit811]

You can do away with it.

[@thedondy]

@@boosthit811 what about all the wee pipes ?

[@boosthit811]

@@thedondy that whole system is just there to lower boost in 1st and 2nd gear. I can't remember off the top of my head. I could check when I get home in a couple of days.

@@boosthit811 must look into that

[@kreasonsamuel383]

hi, what do you say about the alternator fitting right at the end, the sound cuts off, thanks

[@boosthit811]

I cut it out because I already said the correct way at the beginning of the video.

[@ktmenduroggg1719]

Where did you get the 3.5 bar ?

[@boosthit811]

What are you referring to?

[@mattc_82]

Hi mate any noticable difference to fitting the 3.5bar fpr? Also where did you get it from?

[@boosthit811]

There wont be a "in the seat" noticable difference. I just fitted because I wanted a little more fuel with my upgraded pump on standard injectors. In hindsight I would just do pump and injectors as required. Unless your fpr is bad.

[@boosthit811]

Oh got it from courtney auto sport.

[@mattc_82]

@@boosthit811 cheers for the reply mate I definitely want to upgrade my pump probs use the R&D pump and fuel filter setup like you did in another video 👌

[@boosthit811]

@@mattc_82 all good. Yeah that has been working great on my vxr.👍

[@bigmac7228]

Don't you need the one way valve on the rocker breather?

[@boosthit811]

Its entirely up to you. But if you are going to the trouble of fitting an aftermarket inlet then in my opinion I don't want to plumb any crankcase blow by gasses back into my intake charge air diluting it.
