Hey all,

I was told the Power fc add on to control boost was S**T and better options were avaliable for around $350. And the Greddy Profec B Spec 2 was an option. Whats it like? thoughts? any better options around for the price? to go into a GTR R33 around 290kws.

What other units are there? Better at holding boost?

What kws are you running with them?

Cheers

I would personally just get a turbo tech ball bearing controller for $22.00 Does exactly the same thing as those electronic boost controllers. If you want 2 stage, just hook up an electronic valve to it, easy.

I would not be trusting a $22 ebay bleed valve to adequately control boost on a modified R33 GTR.

Adam, with all due respect, you need to stop listening to whoever it is that keeps feeding you this crap.

no me either! lol

Two people have told me the apexi boost thing is S**T. one being a trader and the second being my tuner... The tuner said if im paying that much you might as well have a look and ask around as there is better around

profec B II is about the best you will get for that money. go up to say $500 though and there are lots more options open to you.

I have a profec B II in the GTR and no problems with it.

GIZZMO MSiBC best bang for buck, good enough to take out dspeeds boost controller choice... and it is run on their 1000hp GTR, i use alot of these things for guys who want killer boost control but on a budget..... the processor used in the MSIBC is bigger than that in the average microtech :/

the powerfc kit has a distinct advantage over the other units in that it enables boost correction on the maps

so it can back out timing, add in extra injection based on boost levels and so forth (if setup correctly)

it also is displayed on the hand controller

but i dont see why the pfc boost kit wont work - a fair few people use it

at the end of the day though and im a huge PFC fan it is very basic and fails to perform anywhere as good as a BLITZ dual solenoid boost controller and both cost about the same.... the lack of gain and usefull boost drop compesation make it one of the last choices on my list.

how bout the avcr?

its pretty to look at and ive owned about 4 over the years, not even in the same league as a BLITZ DSBC.

attached is a dyno graph of a BLITZ DSBC controlling twin turbos set at 15.5psi and fairly low gain.. it is spot on except for a smal dip at the start caused by wheelspin but even then it did not spike once it gained traction...

i cant find the graph for 18psi but the boost line was just as flat.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
