Electronic Boost Controller Choice

[sweetr33]

hey i have been send a list of boost controllers i can get at a reasonable price from japan from a mate, am having trouble deciding which one to get, the ones i can get are..........

apexi s-avc-r

blitz sbc i-colour

blitz dual sbc type r

blitz dual sbc type s

blitz dual sbc id-3

hks evc4

hks evc5

trust profec b spec 2

money isnt an issue, i just want to choose the right one.. what are your thoughts.... its for an r33 gtst series 1, modded rb25, will be running round 20psi..cheers

[R33PWR]

I would go personally with apexi AVCR

[STATUS]

^^^ 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.

[sweetr33]

whats the difference between type r and the id3

[STATUS]

flashy screens

[sweetr33]

ok, the pricelist i have the type r is about 50 bucks chearper than id3

[PM-R33]

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 All great boost controllers in my books.

i know it aint on the list but eboost 2 is my fav and is used by alot of mates

[R33GOD]

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

[BAMR33]

apexi s-avc-r. I like it because I have one, holds boost perfectly, rpm based boost control and blue screen . However now that I've had it for ages I think I'd prefer the PFC boost control kit.

trust profec b spec 2

Does the job.. cheap and works great!!

[700HP-GTR33]

I prefer avcr..because I have one...and it is simple to use.

Do all the ones you have listed have a self learn function?

I am sure a avcr has...

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.

profec b 2 all da way .... as long as it does the job who cares

[cln]

ive got a sbc id3 and it holds my boost excellent.. 20psi and not a touch over or under

[JSL]

profec b 2 all da way .... as long as it does the job who cares

with the profec b there is a advantage with a high and low boost remote you can to mount on your steering wheel (wireless).. additional cost of course.... but it cool..

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.
