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

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
