^^^ over ten years old and not real stable.

spec-r for the best value for money. The dual solenoid controllers from BLITZ are unrivalled for boost control, the amount of features on the i-color is cool but i never use them so i dont bother with them. Spec-r or IDIII... cant go wrong.

As said above, Blitz ID3 or spec R if you dont want the flashy features of the i-colour. Blitz dual solenoid boost controllers have been tested many times in magazines such as Zoom and have been voted the best for holding boost. I still like the Greddy Profec B 2 though :D All great boost controllers in my books.

something cheap, easy to install, and holds boost well go the gizzmo ebc. i rekon there pretty good. sometimes thay can spike 1psi over. best to overtune your car then drop it down abit though to be 100% safe

they go for like 350

i have had experience with a gizzmo, greddy profec b spec II and the blitz id3. and the blitz is by far the easiest to use and best looking. if your after the wank factor of scramble boost, not all ebcs have them eg: greddy profec b, but i can tell u the blitz and the gizzmo do. hope that helps

HKS EVC 5 is by far of the best performing EBC out in the market today..

But it is also one of the most expensive on the market..

Profec B spec 2 is awesome but it a nightmare for someone to setup if they not used on those them before..

I have personally always used profec B but after all my mates moved to HKS EVC 5.. I am looking to buy 1 myself in the next few weeks..

This would all come down to personal preference. personally ill go the Blitz SBC. it is pricy but then again i dont need to have gauges hanging off everything just to tell me what the car is doing. all in 1 nice neat clear screen.

You could always buy/build the Jaycar kit unit . It works off injector duty cycle which is a far better signal than a map sensor . Have a read of what SK did with his Stagea .

Cheers A .

you can do that with the blitz id series and up, no need though.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
