Hey Trent, thankyou for the reply. Looks like ill be buying the blitz EBC; thankgod i read your thread cos i was just about to order the powerfc kit for like 500bux.

I'm not sure why you need to buy either the SBC ID III or the power FC BCK? The HKS EVC III you have now already has gain adjustment. why not just use that? The whole point of this thread was not blitz is better than everything else, just that going from manual bleed, or an EBC without gain adjustment to one with gain adjustment (like most current model EBCs) that there is some power and response to be had.

sure if you didn't already have something with gain adjustment then by all means run out and buy a blitz one, but the HKS EVC is very good to begin with. you might find very little if any gain by switching to the blitz ID III.

Just wondering if im on the right track here

EBC with gain control is probably more important for people running internal gate turbos?

I have a GT35 with the IW currently running a Turbosmart Manual bleed now starting to think the EBC will be a worthy investment

Thanks bb, I forgot to mention that i was after the power fc kit because it removes a module from the cabin for a more stock look.

The HKS EBC i have now is quite good but now after reading this thread i will live with the module but id like something a little more 'hip' from an asthetic point of view.

I know it sound stupid for me to be buying another EBC but im just updating my 'wardrobe' so to speak.

I played around with my gains and "start boost" function on the Profec last night, kept adjusting it higher until it started spiking over the set boost pressure and it definetely made an improvement in the midrange, just pulled a lot better through the gears and the boost was held a lot better up high instead of falling off a bit.

Any Blitz dual solenoid in my experience works the best (gain wise), i have plenty of graphs i could post up but i rate the boost controllers as follows;

1. BLITZ dual solenoid (type R, ID, IDIII or I-color) But i find the i-color is a bit too gadgety.

2. Gizzmo MSIBC (black with blue display) (awesome controller with closed loop boost control and cheap)

3. TRUST Profec b SPEC 2 (great controller, easy to set up)

Are you sure you mean the Spec 2 Profec? Thats the one with the digital display, I have had nothing but trouble with them. The Profec B with the 3 knobs I prefer.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
