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!!!

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!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
