Greddy Profec E-01

[

Cons:

Trying to find a place to put that screen and running all the cables neatly... (mission and a half this was)

Can you please post a pic of where/how you mounted it stan? I'm still deciding on whether to get this...

Can you please post a pic of where/how you mounted it stan? I'm still deciding on whether to get this...

Me too! I'm hoping to mount it with a bracket connected inside the ashtray (R34). My calculations show it will just cover just a bit of the double DIN unit above, hopefully not too much.

But now that I found out the E-01 does not program / monitor the E-Manage Ultimate I'm questioning buying the E-01 at all.

I am using the Blitz SBC III. boosting 24psi through it, hasnt spiked once. easy to use and instructions in english. on my lancer evo (my GF's actually) ive put a turbonetics bleed valve, seems to hold 19psi fairly well.

Getting a photo for Kennedy and JustinP now...

JustinP; I thought that the E-01 was Ultimate compatible; sure it's not just a optional harness that you need?

No I think it is only compatable with the original blue E-Manage, this has been confirmed by two different people who sell them. I would love to be proved wrong though as it is the only thing stopping me from going and ordering one right now!

Pics would be much appreciated :yes:

As you can see the bracket is only there as a "hook" and is not fixed. The second last photo shows the vent loosened to emphasize it's not permanently stuck there.

Thanks for the pics! That thing is huge! Don't know if I could fit it down low in front of the ashtray :/ It's quite thick too.

^^ Sinista: Are you saying that you could fit it inside the DIN pocket underneath the main DIN slot for the stereo? This is really what I'd like to do if I was to get one.

The biggest con I can see with the AVC-R is if you go from an internal to an external wastegate. Apparently there's 2 versions, 1 for each type. I don't know what you have to go though to convert from 1 to the other if at all possible.

Satanic: That E-01 really is huge there's no way I'm having that monolith in my car, good job on the install though. When's someone gonna come up with EBC that can link into a standard DVD touch screen? Now that would be real stealth.

Yes; to all those who have said that the E-01 is a mammoth of a device, you are not far off... we must've spent a good few days deciding where to put that screen.

It's a more popular boost controller with the EVO community and they have come up with some nice places to mount it.

JazzaR33; what would be awesome would be the type of system that parralels with the HKS CAMP system. Ultimate stealth for everything.

"Hybrid Dual Stage Electronic Boost Controller

Cost:

$250

Pros:

Cheap, Easy to Install (kinda), Easy to Use

Cons:

No control over GAIN etc that you get with a good EBC

Does not monitor boost levels and compensate for drop off

Nothing more than a electronic solenoid

Experience; could not hold 1 bar, kept dropping a good 5PSI"

im running the same as above, but 24PSI, had to change the wastegate spring so the controller didnt have to bleed off so much.

have found ramping up of boost varies a little, between 380kw to 416.9kw

Cool... question; did you have the EBC wired up in Open / Closed loop?

My Hybrid fell on its ass when we removed the AFM and could not run it with that signal (main cause of the EBC not working)

The biggest con I can see with the AVC-R is if you go from an internal to an external wastegate. Apparently there's 2 versions, 1 for each type. I don't know what you have to go though to convert from 1 to the other if at all possible.

Its the same EBC whether you are running an external or integral wastegate. There are 3 ports on the solenoid and the wastegate type that you are running determines which of the two ports you connect to and use. I have had the same AVC-R run my std turbo and my TD06 with external gate.

Had 2 Blitz Sbc id3's in the past and they worked extremely well. This time Im going to probabley either go the new HKS which I have heard is wonderful, or the Greddy profec spec b 2 I have a friend running 30psi thru it and it holds boost extremely well and doesnt spike. Other good thing is it looks like a turbo timer and is easy to tuck away from cops.

If anyone has used the JAYCAR electronic boost controller with the stock solenoid could you please post up your comments on this set up? I think SK used this in a stagea at some stage?

i used one of these. if your looking for something with every variable adjustable, then this is it.

PROS:

-can adjust the solenoids operational frequency, no other boost controller i know of allows this

-can adjust 'gain' through the whole rev range (through adjustable duty cycle of solenoid), not just for the boost build up/spool area like all jap controllers do, this allows for example, a higher boost setting for the midrange then the top end, which i find very good.. again i dont know of any other controller which allows this

-cheap compared to most other ebc's

-held boost really well when setup properly\

-has 2 complete MAPS for the boost curve, which you choose between with a simple switch. its possible to hook this switch up to give different boost maps for different gears, say map 'low' for gear 1 and 2, and map 'high' for all others etc.

CONS:

-it takes time, patience, and a bit of thinking to get it setup properly, quite tedious

-have to build, although debateable as to whether this is a downside ;)

-not as flash looking as ready built jap ebc's

-lacks a feedback system, so spiking did occur on higher gears, although a change of solenoid frequency could have fixed this, but i never got around to trying it.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
