Hi all,

Ill be using a Haltech E11v2 with my new engine and im trying to decide what boost controller to run.

Profec B: Haltech Boost controller:

Pro: Cheaper Pro: Wont need to install myself

Pro: Can control from in the car Pro: Integrated with E11v2

What are your thoughts?

I reckon it depends on price. If the Haltech boost controller costs as much as the PFC boost controller, then I think you should just go for the Profec B.

No harm having a separate unit/ readout, and I dont see any major benefit to having the Haltech unit.

There is a major benifit to using the haltech one over the profec B.

Working with the e11v2 ECU, you can adjust different boost levels for each gear (i.e. 1st -18psi, 2nd -22psi, 3rd - 24psi, etc.....)

Profec B can't do that. Plus the haltech is cheaper, $125

See below:

I had and e11v2 and haltech boost control in my previous GTR. It was excellent! Launch control tied in with lower boost off the mark and higher boost through 2nd. and 3rd, etc....

I'm not knocking the profec, everyone knows it does its job well. I am just stating if you have a e11v2 then go the haltech boost controller.

Ive had the Profec B before but the solinoid was damaged in an accident. It is a great unit.

But at $125 the Haltech will be the go think.

ive got a spare solenoid you can have. the reason im not a fan of the PFC and haltec boost controllers is the have no gain control. With gain control you can ramp the boost way harder i will post some graphs up later of a PFC boost controller versus the most basic EBC with gain controll and you will see as must as 10-20rwkw more throught the mid...

to me this added mid is free horsepower and makes a world of differrence to seat of pants driving.

Bugger Trent i have already binned the Profec controller.Ah well.

I see what you mean with the gain control, it will be a couple of weeks before i finally get one so ill factor that in.

I have a haltech e11v2 and im going the trim controller instead of an AVCR mainly due to cost. I ran it on my VL Turbo and it was great and still going great guns, 21psi no problems.

Read the options available on the trim controller and its pretty impressive. If you have a tuner who knows what they are doing it will be great tool to have.

    • 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.
