Last Mod For Last Tune

[Tangles]

Righteo

Stagea is running super awesome like, yep thats right

low down on power 'cause she still wont hold boost

last thing it could be is the "Hybrid" dual stage ebc I got from Flynn performance ebay a few years ago

its been fine for the stock turbo at 12psi or under it was stable and fine, but for the highflow and 1bar it drops to 12

adjusting the hks actuator the car reaches 200kw on the dyno no worries, but she wont hold the boost

so, what boost controller? tuner - shaun at boostwerks, says the Profec B specII is the way to go

Im going to buy as cheap as possible (ie under $300), so while I can get one eventually (330new) Im looking for any boost controller that is guaranteed to hold 1 bar stable thru the rev range

what can you suggest?

ta, I know there are loads of threads, yes I read, but what is your suggestion, on a budget, for the following details:

* cheers for reading, and your posted thoughts

[paulr33]

get an old HKS EVC II from yahoo japan

should come out cheap and be fine

adjustable gain

[Tangles]

for a couple dollars more can get a HKS EVC III

the evc 2 looks pretty old.

hhhmmmmmm.

any other suggestions?

just need a guaranteed stable 1bar boost, no drop off from the ebc

[benro2]

Haha you're probably going to laugh at this, but the Jaycar IEBC is an excellent boost controller - just is a bit harder to tune and you have to build it yourself. In the brief time that it worked for me (I mustn't have built it properly), it used to hold boost on a steady 10 psi all the way to redline.

There is a thread in the Stagea forum, started by Sydneykid. The kits are about $90 + about $50 for a hand controller, however I'm sure someone close to you would be more than willing to give you a lend of theirs while you tune it. It will run without the hand controller just fine - just mount it under the glovebox or something, out of sight. You will need a solenoid to make it work, though - you should already have one on your Stagea that will work fine.

hey cheers mate

but NO I wont be using jaycar kit

as it is my current ebc holds stable 12psi no issues and always has

but with big hiflow and 1bar, it doesnt. no guarantee a jaycar will

no guarantee I can even build it and get it work'n

going to save $300 and see what I can buy

thats why Im after suggestions

whats the best buy for $300 for an ebc that holds 1bar guranteed

probably the profec b spec-2, looking on ebay for a good priced one

but also looking at blitz, hks.

anyone else? hks evc 2 looks to old to me. maybe a 3 or 4.

jaycar, no. sorry. cheers but yeah...

Turbosmart EboostII. It has features to stop the drop-off that is occurring just in case it happens that it's not your current boost controller that's causing the problem (although it's quite likely that it is.)

hahah cheers

but I quit work a month ago, got accepted onto the disability support pension as of 2days ago (no knees, 12 surgeries, 2m tall, 24/7 cronic pain)

so I dont have $600 for a eboost2 lol

damn.

anyone want to sponser my Stagea ?

[Tangles]

will save some $$ and get a profec b specii from Slide along with an apexi suction filter

cheers anyways

will do what the tuner says (ebc) and get a new air filter
