AVC-R (what do they do) ?

[bucket]

Hey Guys,

I have seen these babies in a few cars and am well aware of there existence though i dunno what they do..

Are they a boost controller or a turbo timer ??? or they some form of mixed version.

Id love if you could tell me what they are as they look cool

Boost controller my man....Boost controller.

[bucket]

so they only boost controllers ??? why would you pay 1g for a boost controller when you can pick them up for like 300 ????

Please explain ;D

[BOOSTMEISTER]

Because you can't buy a electronic boost controller for $300 ? $550 is the cheapest from Japan (GReddy Profec B)

Also it gives numerous helpful readouts and is very accurate.

you forgot it looks awesome

So you really think its worth paying that sort of cash for a object like this ?

[BOOSTMEISTER]

Yep...here is a bit about them

The A'PEXi Super AVC-R is the ultimate boost controller. It is the only boost controller on the market boasting an integrated injector pulse monitor. It is the only boost controller on the market engineered to increase boost response (up to 1500 RPM in some vehicles).

The A'PEXi Super AVC-R is the only boost controller with an RPM-specific self-learn mode which allows the boost controller to memorize the boost characteristics of a particular vehicle and adjust the boost pressure accordingly. This allows the unit to control boost unlike any other unit on the market. Vacuum and boost pressure are shown on the unit's easy-to-see display. A series of colored LED's also serve as a bar graph and monitor for the unit's various functions.

The booster controller is a boost duty setting that allows the user to control the amount of boost overshoot. The Super AVC-R is the only boost controller that combines the self-learning mode with an RPM specific overshoot protection feature for unparalleled boost stability. There are no dangerous calibration modes associated with Fuzzy Logic systems.To control boost, the Super AVC-R uses a high-quality solenoid valve as opposed to a stepping motor. This is the same technology that was used on the turbocharged Honda F-a race cars.

These solenoid valves are proven to control boost more accurately and are much sturdier in design and construction than a stepping motor. The Super AVC-R reads information from an injector pulse signal wire from the vehicle's ECU and a self-contained pressure sensor. The signals are then interpreted by the AVC-R and used to control the solenoid valve.

Basically you get what you pay for.

umm.. yea I knew that ..

what he said

[bucket]

i better make sure i dont get it though SDU

[Guest | hype^ |]

whatcha guys recon is better

a greddy profec b with remote switch or avc-r??

iv seen way more high performance cars with the greddy (advan's Gracer,f&f supra)and pretty muich none with the apexi ..:confused:

[XrSiSt]

I've noticed that too.. but ain't it because of the fuzzy logic or

something that is always correcting the boost spikes or some

thing like that in the Profec?

[franks]

the AVCR also has a cool "scramble mode" feature....

If you connect the additional scramble wire to a button, when activated, allows you to overboost for a specified period of time at a set overboost pressure

almost like a NOS button!!!
