This boost control solenoid can be controlled from a MegaSquirt EMS with the appropriate mods, or with other electronic boost controllers. It operates on a frequency of 19.5-40 Hz and is practically a wire-in replacement for the now-discontinued GM EBC Solenoid. It usually needs a slightly lower duty cycle than the GM valve; if you're replacing a GM valve, we recommend cutting back your duty cycles by 30% and then carefully testing and adjusting as needed. This kit includes barb fittings and mounting hardware.
Note this valve is a perfect match for use with our MegaSquirtPNP and DIYPNP line of PNP EMS systems.
The above photo shows the EBC Solenoid installed and hand-marked with the ports (they are not marked as shipped). The single port on left side is plumbed to the wastegate actuator. On the right side with two ports, plumb the lower port to a source of boost from the turbo. One wire connects to a 12 volt source, the other to the Megasquirt, the valve wiring is not polarized so it does not matter which wire you run to 12v+ and which to switched ground at the EMS. It is recommended not to mount the valve in a direct extreme heat source, but if you can mount it off to the side of your engine bay keeping maximum valve temps at or under 122*F. |
