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.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
