MBC in car adjustment cable?

[insanewayne]

Could someone who has the Hallman evolution pro MBC or whatever it's called let me know how the in car adjustment works? I was thinkin of attaching a cable or some sort or system on the dial and running it into the car, but don't want to have the cable twist 1080 degrees before it actually starts adjusting the boost. It would suck not knowing what boost i was running till i see my gauge pin at 30 VAC hahaha :thumbdown (joke, I'm not that dumb.....really! I'm not!)

Thanks

What's the point?

 

[insanewayne]

So that I can just adjust my boost in the car when a V8 or honduh pulls up beside me.

?

i run 15 psi all the time. i don't really see the point in changing boost levels on the street. at the track i can understand because u will be running race gas, but you shouldn't have to decide between 10 or 15psi if u are on the street.

Just set your boost as high as you would run on the street. Instead of adjusting it down to run less boost, just let off the throttle a little. It's not really that hard to control your boost with the throttle with a little practice.

Otherwise if you really want a mechanically cocpit adjustable boost controller, you should use a rod and not a cable. Mount the controller on the body so it doesn't move as the motor shifts and run a rod through the firewall and attatch it to your adjustment bolt. That way one turn of the rod = one turn of the boost controller adjustment.

Then WOT then. Ever hear of a right foot?

This thread just went downhill Theres really no need to adjust boost in-cabin on a street driven car.

apparently there is, or he wouldnt have posted.

AND, they wouldnt bother adding that feature on almost every EBC. and some MBC's.

Is that a legitimate reason? street-racing? I'm not saying it doesn't serve a purpose but that purpose really isn't for the street. Not to mention, perhaps they add those features as a selling point

it's a novelty, not nessesary, but not pointless.

I thought DSMers were smarter than Hondummies?

 

[kyle h.]

to answer the original post, one could assume that one revolution of the 'in car knob' = one revolution of the 'adjuster bolt/stud/turny thingy' or there could be a small mechanical system to reduce the number of turns on the in car knob.

i don't think it really matters, whatever ur personal preference is, or whatever is easier to build.

Jus do ur self a favor and get ur self a dual stage boost controller so that way u can get out of the car and manually set ur boost to (which in the end will end up being more accurate anyway)..ur low..and high standards...say 9 lbs off the line...then 21 in second gear (which i will use)....excellent for US fwd drivers out there YAY...but yea... get that... i jus picked one up off a retarted friend who sold me one almost new for 40 bucks hahahahah...oh well his lose..latz guyss

Changing boost on the fly without making proper fuel adjustments rules!

agreed, that may not have been the producers intentions. switching boost levels between gears at the track for fwd guys does make it purposeful other than street racing.

and to honestly answer your question: yea, i guess my reasoning IS for street racing...

...i mean seriously, (and im not promoting it) who hasnt pulled up next to some assbag on the street trying to act tough/fast, and you wanted to just smoke him... so you give it all youve got, and part of "all youve got", includes tweaking the boost up a bit.

please refrain from flaming, im just being honest, im not trying to start a fight/flamewar

 

[tylerwal]

It's ok :laugh: everyone has had the urge

LMMFAO! :laugh:

 

[insanewayne]

hmm... well I also was wanting this for gas ecomony reasons...More boost means more gas....can't always afford that..so I could cruise around on 10 psi...then if i have the urge to rip down the block ......(or a honduh pulls up..yes it's not the smartest thing on the street...but i know we're all quilty of it, who doesn't like puttin a cocky hunduh #### in his place) then i could just crank my nice clean hidden lil knob and giver...

a dual stage with a switch would be what I would love to have....but I don't have the money for that....I was thinkin of using a spedo type cable or something similar..but it would have some give and the cable would twist before the MBC knob did...

I don't want this post to go downhill...please don't flame me...if there wasn't a purpose for this then the hallman wouldn't sell, marketing selling shit or not.....and people wouldn't want them, and lots of people love them.

So I was just wondering if anyone knows how the hallman system works or if they have any ideas...a rod would be the best for accurate adjustment...but i was hopin to mount it maybe under the cigarrette lighter..stealthy, clean and woulnd't get bumper by accident

Maybe a system of rods..and flexibleness like a cable where the joint could bend.
I can see the next post sayin that for all that trouble and BS jst go out and buy the stupid hallman...and i hear yeh..but I'd like to know how there system works before shellin out 200$

Thanks

Wayne

P.S. anyone have any idea how much the DIY dual stage MBC with the switch and two home depot MBC's would cost to make..I'll look for the vfaq on it, or if anyones made one how difficult was it?

 

[insanewayne]

And yes crankin up the boost on the fly does rule!!!







But going from 10 psi to 15 psi on stock fuel setup isn't going to cause any harm for one run down the road. Lots of people run 15 all day with only a MBC and boost gauge.

 

[kyle h.]

if you are worried about fuel economy go buy a honduh.

 

[insanewayne]

What the #### is some peoples problems...Sorry that I'm in college and wouldn't mind saving some money, while still driving my beloved DSM and still being able to rape a honduh when i need to. It's not being worried, it's not being rich like you must be. Considering my car is almost stock, I'd like to maintain some stock economy, once I get my AWD and build that up, no I won't care about fuel economy.

How bout you just stay out of this thread... unless you wanna keep being productive in this discussion. Thank you.

Set the PSI as high as you can go. Floor it when you want to race. Otherwise, just drive like a normal person.

You still really have yet to give a good explaination as to why you need two boost settings aside of racing hondas and v8s.

 

[insanewayne]

I raged on the honda comment , went and edited that. Ahem.

Cause I want to...going under the hood sucks?..what do you want, why is that the issue, lots of people have these in there cars, no one question them and said why the #### did you pay $200 for that when you could have payed $50...all I'm curious to know is how the system works, and if anyone has done a DIY duplication succesfully.....Why do I have to keep defending my reason for wanting this.

Thanks.

Wayne.

 

[Stapl3]

99% of the people only need to touch their MBC like twice a year at the most.

 

[Ludachris]

I'm sure it's possible to build something like the Hallman Evolution, but why spend the time and effort and possibly get it wrong just to save a few bucks? They've already done the engineering and testing so you don't have to. I doubt anyone here has done it, and if they had, there would probably already be a Tech Article about it. I'd say just fork out the $150 to a company who knows what they're doing when it comes to boost control.

To everyone else, quit the ####ing flaming already.

 

[1993eclipseGS]

Every thread on this forum gets off topic with nonsence smart ass remarks. He asked a question, How about just answer it and not ask dumb questions? Yes, It can be done. There is a post above all of this shit that you will find useful. If changing the boost while driving isnt neccessary, Why buy an ebc? Who really cares why he wants to do it, Just know he DOES want to do it.. So give him advice. And changing boost levels while not changing fuel?? Umm.. Do you have your safc under your hood or something? I have my translator in my car? So I dont know what you're trying to say there. Just help the god damn kid out and quit ruining every ####ing thread on this website with the why would you want to do that you ricer, no it can be done your dumb, comments.
