Ahh you beat me to it, lmao.

I spoke to phil yesterday and the day before. I won't be ordering it till this friday (payday).

I did get a quote emailed to me today though ^^

Oh that reminds me, I have to find some rc 750cc low impedance injectors asap.

 

I cant wait for the flat foot shifting. I'm really pumped for that. Only thing that sucks is as soon as I get the harness the motor will prolly come out the following weekend.

 

oh snappppppp..........

Upgrading your short block?? or do you have one ready already??

 

Just upgrading mine.

going to take my time and have the whole winter to get it done. Not planning on starting the new motor till spring.

 

haha nice, i'll put it on my list too! i was gonna get the WOT box but i like the idea of having it on the hydra instead of a separate unit

 

Just talked to Andrew at Hydra about this same thing, he told me to make sure that pins C1 & D1 were connected to +12 batt(constant) Also found out that mine that tuning was being done with wrong version of software. So now I have the right version, and hopefully will be good to go. Andrew from Hydra I have to say is VERY helpful!!

 

^^ did you check yours and see if it looks like this one? I only have the red wire that wasn't connected to anything so I tapped it directly to the battery,he didnt mention to me about the C1 and D1 pins, do you know if those are the wires that goes into the relay?

I used a 15 amp fuse and it hasn't blown so far lol, the 10 amp i used at first didnt last for a minute after I plugged the hydra WB

 

I'll have to call andrew tomorrow.

Because my relay is wired into hydra harness.

Hopefully I won't have to do any wiring >.<

 

^^ look at those 3 blue wires, they are wired directly into the harness.. just not sure which pins they go..

 

anyone of you thinking of using the hydra for boost control? any special solenoid to use or the aem solenoid would do?

 

I posed that same question to someone else, previously, lol.

I think it was phil at element. He said although the Hydra Boost Control does wonders. The only draw back is you can't make changes on the fly like you can on the apexi avcr (I was talking to him about switching my avcr for the hydra boost control).

So to answer you're question. An aftermarket ebc will suffice.

I know for the apexi you can use several different solenoids, hopefully that holds true for the hydra as well, lol.

 

^^ yeah thats the downside, you cant change boost settings without the laptop but hopefully you can with a switch.. but if wonder it can still use my truboost for the 2 lower setting and if i turn off the boost control the hydra boost control kicks for my high boost,

anyweiz, have you installed the 2 step and flat shifting?

 

I use the Apexi boost controller as well. Works great!

If you have a question on the 2 step/flat foot shifting i have it installed......A MUST HAVE!

 

^^ im gonna get that soon! was it easy to install?

 

i'm still having issues with my boost controller.

I thnk it might have to do witht he wiring.

I tested out the solenoid by testing it with the car battery directly.

It clicks and all. But then when its installed, it doesn't maintain boost.

Without the solenoid installed, the wastegate is holding boost properly to 7psi.

so i'm not sure whats wrong >.<

 

the 2step harness install was alittle confusing but not too bad.

works like a charm tho. the flat shifting is where its at!


i didnt install my apexi or i'd help u out. dans guys did that. ask dan cause he's an expert on the apexi.

 

Yea i'm going to have to try that.

I'm running out of options. I bought a used apexi solenoid (supposedly in working condition), I installed that one. The same thing happened. So I tested that one out w/ the battery too, and its clicking too.

So i'm guessing it might be some wiring somewhere. To be more exact a ground of some sort. Because the positive wiring to the solenoid is seeing juice =P

So tracing back the grounded wire, is gonna be a definite PITA. All I need is this worked out, so I can finally go get a 12psi baseline run >.<

 

What huh? Someone mention my name? Ben where are the Sema pics?

 

Sup Dan, how is the evo?? =D
oh and jackies car??

updates plzzzzz

 

I'll have to make you a CD cause i have a ____ load. BTW it was crazy! Vegas is the best. I'm going again next year fo sho.

I'm installing the 2step launch control on Bob's tC this weekend. Should sound sweet with the open dump
