When I was in the market for an EBC I found this article helpful > Electronic Boost Controllers Comparison <

My mate has the Blitz ID-3 & I think it's still one of the bestest EBC's around but, with that said I have the more simpler GReddy Profec B-Spec II. I chose this purely for the wank factor of the optional wireless remote switch :iluvff: & it does the job wonderfully.

i have a (HDI) hybrid electronic boost controller, just high and low but boost can be adjusted in cabin... it uses the same solenoid i've noticed as... apexi & turbosmart... thats all i've noticed from looking.. its a mac solenoid and the solenoid is only worth $60 lol can you belive that shit? but i suppose the electronic components in the actually controller is what counts but so far so good... Holds boost no problem and its the best $250 i've spent.. just dusn't look like the prettiest thing in the world lol

I have a kiwi boost controller. the gizmo, it's electronic and you can set it for 4 separate boost levels. it only cost me $350. so it's pretty cheap for electronics. Now I just need a better turbo to warrant having 4 levels of boost....

I have a HKS EVC (Electronic Valve Controller) on my grey GTR that supposedly improves midrange and responsiveness of the RB26 as well as acting as a boost controller. It certainlly comes on full boost earier (~1000rpm) than my white GTR which uses a GReddy Profec B.

Cheers for all the replies! For those of you that have the GReddy Profec B-Spec II would you consider to be a great buy? I was just thinking, since im a while away from actually upgrading the turbo is it worth me getting something like the Blitz ID-3 controller?

Any thoughts appreciated!!!

I own a profec spec b 11, its a great buy! Have a look at www.performancewise.com.au he's good to deal with, does specials for sau!

Yeah OR for a manual one that ONLY costs like $30, go for the turbotech, mine has worked excellent since i bought it and very easy to adjust. :angry:

i also have the turbo tech same with my mate whos got a Mx6 hes put his in the cabin so he can change boost on the fly :huh: i will do the same one day

yeah same here i put one in my mx6, it's cheap and easy to install! but i need a stupid fuel cut defender! i can only jack it up to around 5-6 psi at the moment because my intercooler brings in too much air! with a stock intercooler it can be boosted to around 10 psi before the fuel cut sets in!

if you want i can hook you up with a dude that can retune your ECU and gets rid of those :huh: pluss has a better tune for $250 my mate got his done and no anooying beep when boosting high

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
