Those Blitz units are a bit old, whereas the avc-r are current units. Hey, it depends on what you want. If you just want an EBC just to control boost, then the Blitz is fine. If you want and EBC with bells and whistles, then you cant go wrong with the avc-r, E-01 or SBC-iD III. Considering some shops sell the AVC-R for $1200-1300, $700 is good value.

HKS EVC is the best by far! :D

rs73, you can just leave the factory solenoid there, but u have to pull one of the vacuum hoses off and put it onto the stepping motor.

also, 2nd hand boost controllers are good value, but if the stepping motor goes, then your only option is to purchase a whole new unit.. which could cost you more in the end.

a HKS EVC 4 your looking at around $990, so they are no cheap, and a fair bit more than the AVC-R.

Other option is the boost control kit for the pfc, but it can only be changed using a handcontroller which i think would be a pain.

Hi,

Thx for the reply.

I actually found an HKS EVC EZ-II, which is exactly has the same Stepping Motor & Control Unit found in the HKS EVC 4. Price is quite a bargain at less than $650.

The unit is upgradable to full HKS EVC 4 by buying the optional screen which part# is provided in case I wanna order one. I decided this is the best one to go as I can add the screen later when I have a spare $300 lying around. The screen adds a "beep beep" overboost warning function :D and password protection, and scramble boost, which would not be really needed for my everyday use right now.

It's sitting right here @ home, cant wait to put it on...

Dave, is it still possible to remove the factory solenoid completely? as I was told that the factory solenoid can sometime interferes or confuses the ECU when used in conjunction with aftermarket boost controllers.

Agreed. Too much to pay. I bought a blitz twin solenoid unit off these forums for $250 and it works a treat with the PowerFC. The trade off is your Commander won't/can't display boost pressure - easily fixed with a gauge.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
