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.

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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
