Electronic Boost Controllers

[JVP]

hey dudez

in the near future i will be purchasing an electronic boost controller, and tossing away the GFB atomic one installed already.

there is a few options open to me and they are:

APEXI AVC-R

GReddy Profec B spec II or

Blitz SBC

which of the three would you recommend?? i know turbosmart have the eboost2 thingy, but thats out of my price range........

thanks for your help

They all do job quite well. My preference is the Greddy because its simple.

[STOCKGTR]

Form my experiences the Blitz dual solinoid one are the best. The have the least boost spike and hold real well. AVCR is nice but a bit complicated.

cheers guys

i am leaning towards the greddy one, coz it looks the simpelest, but the blitz looks more professional

Have you tried a search on this topic or looked in the Forced Induction Performace sub-forms etc? There has been a squillion posts on this topic.

a squillion you say?

i used to have a SARD boost controller on my first liner... and they dont get any simpler to use than that ladies and gentlemen

Jaycar, if you can be bothered putting it together then setting a map for it they are ok. oh and uber cheap

Yes, a squillion - See here

another question, with the blitz ones, what is the difference with the single and dual solenoid, apart from the obvious of course...anything different, ie can the dual hold more boost over the single?

cheers

Please consider the Turbosmart eBoost 2.

(even though I have a Dual SBC)

How much are the others?

G'day i use the APEXi AVC-R and i find that its great, it gives you heaps of information about whats going on and if you play around with it you'll find that its not that hard to use. it has 3 settings also so you can have 2 stages of boost that you can set and then if you want you can have it back on the factory standard which is realy good for day to day driving. I think it was about $500 ~ $600 i dont know cause i got it with my car. But if your on a budget you cant go wrong with the turbosmart Dual SBC even tho its not electric it does an awsome job.

How much are the others?

greddy ones are about 490-570

apexi 500-700

blitz 500-700

turbosmart 800-1000

i have a hybrid electronic boost controller, they sell for like $300ish and are piss easy to install.

have a high boost, low boost and over boost function(%10 more boost when activated)

does the job nicely

I have the apexi boost kit with my pfc, it uses the same solinoid as the AVCR, i think its good, if you have a pfc you just use the hand controller for it, and you dont get another clutterd item in the cabin

[2rismo]

So if you could get an eBoost 2 for 700-800 that'd be okay?

I have one of the greedy hi/low boost controllers, seems to do the job very well.

Hay mate talk to arron at slidingperformance it got mine of him greddy profec b spec2 for 450, he is on the forums his names slide talk to him allways does a good deal.cheers

I use a dual SBC and am a fan, never spikes, holds boost well even with an exhaust leak.

I'm happy

JVP: Yes, the dual solenoid is capable of more boost and a steadier curve. From memory the single solenoid is recommended for under 19psi
