What does the warranty cover though. Could be its only makign the power it is because of a problem they are masking???? So takign it to someone else may help identify the problem.

And its a big problem when a std RB20 with a Trust setup is making similar power, better response with an extra 4psi !!!

...and if you dont want the AVC-R, i will buy it. I like them and am lookign for another (Seriously)

You know how it is guys, loyalty, egos, client and mechanic relationships.

It's all in the mix here and treading carefully is high on the list of priorities for me as I don't want to upset anyone, but yes I also want my GT-R to be right so it's looking like I gotta do what I gotta do.

Thanks heaps for all the suggestions once again. Much much appreciated.

Unless the AVCR is faulty it wont be the cause. You cant set them so wrong they hurt the response of the turbos so badly. Boost spikes yeh, but not hurt the power so badly that even at 1.2bar its only makign 270odd and the response is up the sh1t

the gain setting on the avc-r looks to be affecting output (hence the wavy line on your power curve) Jim (Croydon) knows this boost controller inside-out and can set it up properly (although he does not recommend them). Blitz controllers are quicker to ramp up boost and keep it steady better too, we made the same power with 4psi less boost just by changing the avc-r for a blitz controller.

I know you guys wouldnt usually go onto the silvia forum, but this thread is worth a look, it's not always a majorly technical problem, i'm not saying that the avcr isn't faulty or needs to have the duty retuned i'm just saying it's far easier to eliminate the simple things first.

After all the concept is the same,

The car in question was a 180sx, it had upgraded turbo with the additional bolt on's that come with it, it had similar problems to what you are having with your gtr, the guy spent a lot of money replacing things having things retuned etc etc, when in the end it was just......

I have driven a 33 with the GTSS, it was built and tuned in japan, tha car was resposive as hell, when boost kicked in and the car hit his midrange it would light the tires. the full boost hit about 3400. as for your AF ratio, it looks quite good from here, you sould get a better boost controler, i run the blitz with a tripple solenoid setup, have a friend that runs a AVCR in his evo 4 but that thing spikes like crazy (if you are foolish enough to run 24psi through that controler)

AVC-R could be the issue

Its not the best tool for the job.

You need a good dual solenoid setup

Not necessarily. The AVCR does a good job when its setup right. Its a pain to perfect but just because a EBC is dual solenoid means nothing! I've had a few mates whose Blitz ID-III/iColor is causing them havoc too.

I vote to see your AVCR settings which include the map, gear judge, learn gear and feedback values. By the wavy powercurve, your target boost setting and the duty cycle mapping is probably too far off and your feedback values are too high.

sorry to go off topic a little

but where should the GT-SS boost in the rev range?

Justin talking about 4500 obviously too high but where should it be? 3500? 3000?

Yeah there is something definitely wrong there, my GT-SS's come on strong from 3000rpm in the higher gears and around 3500rpm in first from memory. They feel a bit laggy between long gear changes, but if your quick it is full power the whole time!

I just love them for that reason, you put your foot down and your away. Response wise, i was next to a new wrx sti the other day, and off a slow rolling start, i came on boost only a fraction of a second after he did.

can boost creep occur with std turbos and actuators?

can it be felt as lag on gear changes?

cause i have std turbos and it feels little sluggish and doesnt get full boost (1 Bar) till 4k is that normal?

what causes and cures it?? had this for a while but wasnt that worried about it (and no idea what it was)

note: boost controlled by EBC

Sorry to hijack this post

The AVC-R just doesnt keep it going well enough is what it seems, regardless of "how well" you set it up, its simply not the best tool for your money.

On a mild turbo, with ~15psi, no worries. AVC-R isnt too shabby, but if you asking a lot of the setup, you'll be disappointed time and time again.

If people want to spend lots of $$$ trying to get it close to acecptable, thats thier choice. Im just pointing out that there is an easier way to do it.

ferni had to change controller aswell because he was having issues... cant remember what he did have but i suspect it was the avc-r.

It just didnt do the job well enough. It worked, yeah, but there is better stuff out there for the same/cheaper price.

But Ash, i cantr be the only guy that was running an 8psi spring pressure and with a bit of adjustment and self learning on the track it held 18psi no problem. Thats a 10psi increase over the spring pressure and it worked fine.

So again, if someone is having trouble with theirs and cant get it to work, i will buy it as mine died in the last fire, and im cheap and cant bring myself to pay new EBC prices when the setup i have now works fine, only it isnt adjustable in the cabin

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
