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..

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
