Just wondering if anyone could tell me from there experience what brand electronic boost controllers are good. Are Blitz better than greddy? or should i go all out and get an apexi avc. i basically want something that is easy to use and has a digital display. Any help would be great..

Eboost2 ftw !!!

Gate pressure settings, sensitivity settings, 6 preset boost, lauch control, boost and rev recall, boost gauge and controller in 1, looks neat and a ease 2 fit and use.

over boost shut down, warning lights and sounds when reaching high boost.

Haha u would think i work for turbosmart >_<

2 months ago i had a power fc fitted and wanted a suitable boost controller to suit... i settled with the avcr.. had my ash tray removed and fitted it there... ive never been happier with a boost controller... it is expensive but that little blue screen tells me what i need to know and can change between 3 boost settings in about 3 seconds! took a while to get used to but hell its great! and once learnt easy to use. has functions that i dont even use but if i ever get real serious there there for future use! if u have a apexi power fc i say go with the avcr. installation was relitively simple and the electronic valve sits near my filters.

good luck!!

I was thinking apexi soinoid plug as i have a power fc but i want funtions like scramble and graghs. peak settings ect. thinking of Blitz SBC 3. Has anyone used this type, how do they rate ?

I've got a Blitz SBC I-Colour and it's a pretty handy little unit.

Tons of functions and i've never had a problem with it.

Oh finding an english manual was the hard part but not cause i was installing it just for my use afterwards.

a bit of a side step but im using a VAFC as a boost guage for my car

it displays like the AVCR in guage and digital and digital tacho emulation format

but it lets you choose between the scale and measurment

i can choose between 0 to 15psi or 15psi to 30psi

and lets me choose PSI, MMHG/KGCM2 and KPA

Had a Profec B Spec 2, loved the ease of use, but hated the lack of full functionality and not being able to set psi boost that it would actively try to reach. Just bought an AVCR yet to see it in action, but sure it will meet my expectations.

You want something with a Dual Solenoid.

Single solenoid items are harder to setup, and at times do not perform as well as a dual.

A AVC-R is a single... Blitz, HKS etc are duals.

Often dual are more expensive, but you get what you pay for in that regard

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
