Boost Controlers

[Adz2332]

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.

gizmo or the best blitz u can afford

Profec B is a great boost controller.I have one in my car,wouldnt use anything else.

I would have to agree.. and i'm running nearly 300kw currently

[Adz2332]

and it holds boost right through the rev range fine?

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.

I use PFC boost control with no issues at all for almost a year now, I cant say a bad thing about it. Easy to use, holds boost, what more could you want???

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

gizzmo for sale in case u interested

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

how many Kws u running??

Was running 250 at the treads.Will be into the 300s when i put all my bits together,will still use the profec B

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?

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.

[alexk]

i'm running 308rwkw through my 32r with no boost controller, hks gtss at about 18-19psi.

If you don't plan on changing the boost from high to low, then there is no need for one i guess.
