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.

    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out.
