Fs: Blitz Twin Solenoid Boost Controller.

[-Totenkopf-]

Hey ladies and gents, looking to offload this boost controller as I've bought a replacement. It currently has a glitch where its not running the original boost pressure it used to, traced it to the solenoids I almost 100% sure, bleeding pressure, even when the controller is switched off. Works as is and seems to work quite well but I don't want to risk damage in case of a spike or what not as im running a pretty 'on the edge' tune.

Issue started about 2 months ago, where base boost with controller in the loop rose from 7psi to 10psi. Had marks for my 'safe tune' on the controller unit which is now useless to me as I had to wind the knob down for it to run near correct boost. From face appearance (I cant confirm, just looks exactly identical, the solenoid box itself I talk of) the twin solenoid setup is exactly the same as that used in the newer Blitz Dual SBC Spec R pictured here : http://www.blitz-uk.co.uk/images/sbcspecr.jpg so you if you could just source the solenoid box, or even just the solenoids, then its quite an easy task to swap them over (I've opened up the solenoid box and applied some silicon to wherever I could see joins on the 2 solenoids to make sure there were no external leaks - didn't help, so obviously one of the solenoids is leaking internally)

Difference from the unit in the picture and the older Blitz Twin Solenoid I have for sale is that there is no digital 'boost gauge' type unit on the controller, and there is also an extra component, guess its the brains of the unit, where the controller is connected to, as well as a vacuum line and loom going off to the solenoid box that you position in the engine bay. Has adjustability for sensitivity and switch for use for both actuator and wastegate setups.

Anyway, as I said, it works as is and when setup the boost doesn't seem to be all over the place (ie, its continually holding the same boost when setup the same, not one minute 10psi, next minute 15psi etc etc) but I cant promise that that'll be the deal in the long time (solenoid could start bleeding more air). Has two adustable levels and a button to switch between the Hi and Lo settings, as well as power button to turn it off altogether (although as I said, it currently wont run 'base' boost even with the controller turned off, ie whatever the wastegate or external gate runs as standard, which I believe is ~5 or 7psi in MR2s with stock wastegate actuator.)

Anyhow, would like $150 ONO but throw me an offer. I'll take pics of the unit once I get my hands on the eboost 2 and remove this unit.

Bump, this may not even be faulty at all. Seem to have similar issues with the eboost as well. Admittedly its not setup correctly yet but I'll keep you in touch with the results.

Ah, appears it wasn't the boost controller playing up at all, the diaphram in my external gate has splits in it

As such, im pretty sure this is 100% working and without fault. Adjusting price to $200 ono in light of this new info.

Anyone interested? Will try get ahold of a digital camera tomorrow and take some happy snaps.

It comes with:

Controller unit.

Little 'brain' box I guess you'd call it.

Vacuum line to from above mentioned box to engine bay, with a T piece on that end.

Solenoid box.

Loom to connect 'brain' box to the solenoid box and also power and ground connections (these will probably need shortening for most cars, it was pulled from an MR2, and as such, wiring is a fair amount longer then your standard front engined car).

Anyhow, pics to come. I'll take some pics of the external gate diaphram whilst im at it to show you that im not having you on, unfortunately for me

Pics postponed till tomorrow for all that requested them. Had to attend a birthday party today of a family member, as such didn't have time to get around and borrow a digi cam.
