EBC or NO EBC?

by **Dawgz** » Thu Sep 20, 2007 12:19 pm

The way i have the car's vaccume lines hooked up manages if i get boost or not when im driving. The EBC i have is just lyn around in my room, is it really neccessary to install it? or am i fine for now?

U auto guys who are boosted, what are u running?

you need to run the EBC or else you're going to majorly fuk up your tranny. Every time your tranny shifts under boost while you drive its getting weaker and weaker. Lesson: put it on buddy

i dont have mine on, but then again when i do drive hard and it shifts while in boost, i make sure im not in stop and go traffic, but on the freeway where it can cool down ASAP

if u dont want it ill take it. do the right thing and save my tranny, not yours :roll:

from what ive herd, the EBC is worth puttin on.

FYI, when you boost through gears, your tranny doesn't fail due to heat, but it fails due to a sprag snapping due to the extra power that the engine has when it slams into gear. for our/your car, specifically the second gear sprag

cool thanks for the info. always good to know.

im a track junkie and sopil my car with constant fluid changes and mechanical inspection. i know that going with no EBC isnt for everyone, but my car has been through 10+ track events each lasting 6+hrs of WOT and more abuse than other members here would imagine doing to their car.

Im just sharing what my setup is like, but yes, for the inexperienced, i say go EBC.

True, but 90% of auto transmission failures are heat related.
I do not have the ebc on and am contemplating selling it. (offers) I bought a auto from a totaled 99 Solara and am building it up. IPT or Level10. IPT seems to be cheaper in cost.

I installed the TRD (an overpriced Hayden) for the Tundra/T100.

Tru, yea i got one too.

So yea, ill just try the TRD EBC, see how it is, if its the same crap, ill just take it off, if not we'll see.

I heard u get no boost in first gear with it? EH!

i got a question, im gonna try out the ebc, so i gotta redo my hoses..

here's what the hose hook up calls for..

My question is...is the L barb that i highlighted/colored in red the same thing that is circled in blue in the picture down below? (its a pic of my old vacume hose setup). if not then where the hell is that barb?

I don't have the instructions with me but, isn't it the barb on the by-pass actuator??
Hence by-passing (releasing) boost between shifts.

yea, but thats a diffrent barb, the one for the actuator goes to the VSV.

by **JavaJoe_2** » Sun Sep 23, 2007 7:21 pm

Then yes, there is only one barb under the intake port opening.
