Hello everyone!

As much as I do love my $100 turbosmart Bleed Valve I know that in every mans life there comes a time to upgrade to an Electronic boost Controller, what advantages do these have over the bleed valve other than the spikings sometimes in the bleed valves? is it worth the extra hundreds of $$$$ is lag lessened that much?

What brand are good and do the cheap Trust Profec B do the job?

If any of youguys know of someone who is selling a electronic Boost controller in the near future for a cheap price let me know...

I was looking at the Trust Profec B something minimal as far as electronic boost controllers go but effectove i hear and only about $400....

the profec b's are fine. they do have the function GAIN or fuzzy logic or whatever trust call it which is supposed to reduce lag. basically it holds the wastegate shut until the desired boost pressure is reached rather than 'bleeding' off the air. it depends from turbo to turbo how much an EBC reduces lag, but dont expect miracles

the biggest advantage is now youve got an electronically controlled solenoid which you can adjust from inside the cabin depending on driving conditions or how hard you want to drive. so you dont have to hammer the car all the time. this is the biggest advantage i found from the 'upgrade'.

I have a Blitz SBC, and while it is great if I had known that my engine management would allow me to control boost then I'd have saved my money.

See'ya:burnout:

Then will you be sellling it? Also whats the hybrid one from Hikari like?

I do like the Profec B nice and cheap and has 2 levels of boost setting to choose from... this will be nice in the wet weather of winter!

How can he be a guinea pig if no one is using it and everyone is recommending blitz....

it is $320 from Hikari

Someone in WA is using one with nothing but praise. I cant remember who though... is a little cheaper than the blitz, but I have also only heard good things about all blitz stuff

search search search dood, i swear there is a good thread about these EBC's

Check this tread out, some comparisions of boost controller, thoe not on a skyline, still some good info and comparsions on holding boost, i assume it will do the same on a skyline.

Hope it helps somewhat. Cheerz ROb

i recommend the HKS EBC.

I use to have problems with it when it first came from japan with it spiking and whatnot, but i pulled the pipes off and gave it a quick clean and now its working. And does so quite nicely too. :-)

if u get the hybrid i will kill u  

never heard of it and no one seems to use it  

u wanna be the giunea pig  

plently of people use these units...?!?! works auto sell them, simon uses one in his R32.

nothing wrong with single solenoid, the majority of budget-priced EBC's use a single solenoid.

I use Hybrid on my car, Works uses it on his car, don't diss what you haven't tried

As a comparison to my old turbosmart bleed valve, this unit is AWESOME ... after paying approx 340 for it, I came to the conclusion that it would be useless paying anymore for an ebc, since this unit jumps to boost, and holds it there tight

And was piss to install too :D

It is only restricted to 20psi if you use the 2BAR MAP sensor, however you can upgrade them and run higher boost ... but noone here is running more than 20 anyway :P

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
