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.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
