I have a turbotech MBC which drops boost off by 3 psi and im not happy with it. I would like to hold the boost at a desired level and im assuming an electronic boost controller will solve this issue. I wanted to know if there were any specific best Electronic boost controllers for GTT R34 or skylines in general.

Im thinking maybe go for Greddy ones, as i found one thats $400 and i thought it was REAL CHEAP for an electronic, but then again im abit worried why its so cheap? maybe it can't hold boost long??

I need some advice on which electronic boost controller that holds boost right thru please. and thanks in advanced...

Some ppl whinge the AVC-R is no good; hard to get stable boost when bleeding a large amount (low wastgate spring tension, high desired boost level) but as with most things, i believe you need to find someone with good experience in the EBC you do choose, (or be willing to ask lots of Q:'s and really research their setup if doing so yourself) ... much the same as a ECU.

Going by your wording, im assuming you don’t feel like spending a lot of time setting up a Gizmo or a Jaycar unit yourself

The dual solenoid unit Blitz SBC IDIII seems to be the flavour atm, the unit without the screen is a lot cheaper. Profec, AVC-R should all suit your need fine providing you have someone that can set them up properly.

I'm using an Apexi-Avcr (blue screen) one had i on the car for ages now.

I've achieved a steady 18-19psi til redline with a VG30 GCG highflow on r34 stock actuator and GT-R Bov along with the Avc-r

going to a dyno day on saturday so i'll post up a graph when i have it.

BUT as others have said mixed results, and i spent some time on the run tuning it.

I bought a gizmo, using on stock turbo would fall from 15psi at 2500rpm to 8psi at redline, I was gett more stable control (14psi to about 12) using the stock double actuator and a bleeder together. Totally disappointing controler! just behaved like a bleeder.

As i mentioned, they can take some time in setting up correctly

thanks for ur help and advice guys...

The boost level im only trying to achieve is 14 psi max, prob alil less down to 0.85 bar, but i don't want it losing any little boost at all. I've always heard the Greddy Profec B or something was really good for it but im pretty cheap at the moment as i got my R33 stolen 2 weeks ago and now trying to do up the R34 with alittle financial struggle.

never ever had an issue.... who set it up? they are pretty fool proof if you read the instructions...... in real time dyno testing we have seen them outdo all but the dsbc from blitz.

If you're looking to get a stock RB25 turbo (assuming you're still using it) holding 12-13psi until redline it won't happen. It's not the boost controller, it's that the turbo can't flow enough air to keep the pressure up. They all drop towards 10-11psi.

I see this response may be too late..

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
