Hi all

Looking to buy a Blitz SBC-ID3 boost controller to up the boost to 10psi.

I figured Ill need a boost gauge anyways, so $550 for the EBC and its built in digital boost gauge is probably worth it.

I hear these are one of the best non spiking controllers.

Questions though:

1) will it improve boost response? ie. hitting full boost earlier (currently using factory boost solenoid and control). I read a autospeed article regarding a pneumatic controller that worked really well in holding boost and adjusting for how quickly it comes on. Sounded pretty good, I wonder if EBCs do the same thing

2) will the boost readout of the EBC be accurate? Saves me from spending $200 on a nice gauge plus no defect for having gauges sticking out on the pillar (its where I would mount it if I had one)

3) Will the EBC cater for changes in temperature, pressure, humidity etc? I hear manual controllers dont do too well because of changing environment conditions.

Thanks

I highly recommend the ID3. It is so easy to adjust. I would not bother with the manual settings. Setup the waste gate mode. Then in automaitc mode, adjust the desire boost settings (to 10psi in your case) and then increase the gain until you get spike. Then just bring the gain back to the settings before the spike and nothing more to worry!

hey,

ive got a blitz sbc-id3 in my r33 so i can asnwer your question:

1) YES

2) YES

3) Not really sure

I have my car tune without ebc then a few weeks later i bought the blitz unit and had a retune. 1st thing i notice it was the increase in responds it came on boost alot harder and faster (this was still at the same boost lvl as without the ebc unit)

if i remember right i was getting full boost without the blitz unit at around 3500rpm (10psi) then with the blitz unit install i was getting full boost at 3500rwhp but with 16psi

hope that helps :)

also if u get the blitz speed meter you can set boost, at different speeds

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
