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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
