The AVCR is actually a really really good boost controller.

The problem is they are not super easy to setup and this is where a lot of people come across spiking problems.

As with all boost increases it should be setup on a dyno.

I had a blitz sbcid ebc and on the road also found that difficult to setup correct as to prevent spiking it requires a few full rpm rev from just off idle through to redline in fourth gear. So not exactly possible. :S

All self duty cycle learning type boost controllers will have this problem. Get them tuned on a dyno and they are all good.

yeh was close to getting a black avcr but i got a blitz sbc i-d III the guy at auto barn talked me into it lol good 800 spent get it installed sat then i need to take it somewhere to get it tuned ayn recomendations for somewhere up north?

See how you go with it in manual mode; if you are dropping boost at higher revs throw it in auto mode and have it do its boost curve learn thing in 4th gear.

The one issue with auto mode is its prone to spiking IF you don't load it up enough from a low rpm i.e 4th gear.

The spiking will occur when you put your foot down and hold it up a steep hill at lowish revs.

Dropping boost depends on the boost your running vs what the actuator is rated at, how good your exhaust is and if the turbo is nearing its flow limits.

Manual mode offers the best boost response. If you have a keen seat of the pants feel you will notice the manual mode has much sharper response. THe issue with manual mode is your not able to dial in more duty cycle at higher rev's; its a fixed value.

Auto mode alters the duty cycle through its learning. :)

I prefer the AVCR due to its fandangled features; which really are not needed unless your making a good whack of power i.e different boost levels for each gear.

y should anyone bother recommending you a workshop when you'll go somewhere that ppl tell u not to? Oh ye its school holidays isn't it!

I've got the Blitz SBS ID III also, I've had no spiking issues what so ever. Just for a start try using auto mode duty of 30 and whatever psi you want to run, don't over do it!! i teach mine by doing a 2,3,4 gear run. once the L disappears from the top of the screen record the same type run and check for spiking on the boost graph. If there is none up the duty 5 or so and repeat untill you get a little spiking and then back it back off. I think mine ended up being around 50 duty.

If you're after even better boost response you can use the scramble function and set a manual level for the first few seconds and then switch to the auto mode to prevent drop off at high rpm.

When you're using manual mode the instructions say not to go over 15duty with an actuator type wastegate.

There is a good tread by Col-gtsx but that was a long time ago, do a search for it and also for english instructions as there are some around somewhere, maybe try the Blitz site also.

Also, for your next purchase try www.nengun.com

cheers for the help boyz instaling it tomorw just need a tune atm ive dyno my car at 160 kw standard the dude said i need a new ecu as im losing power in the top end or something like that but yeh see how we go once its boosted :)

Will be handy when you ramp up the boost. :)

Mines close to being finished, it will be very interesting to see how peak power differs.

Your running on regular 98 pulp? std cams?

Yeh runnin bp ultimate, and will have tomei poncams in then 256 deg aswell as splitfires so should be very interesting

I use the Blitz DSBC Spec-R and have had no problems with it. Works great and super easy to set up, only two things to set. :)

Have another dyno sheet of it holding 20psi the same, but havn't got it scanned.

It doesn't have anywhere near the features of the ACVR or the SBC-iDIII though, sometimes I wish it did have those other things, but it's pretty rare that I do. All I ask of the controller is that it keeps the wastegate closed for as long as possible and holds boost steadily. This one does that, and it cost me $300 2nd hand :)

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
