Hey guys,

I am after a boost controller, i would get a blitz dual sbc spec R but they are expansive and rare second hand.

My second two options that im thinking are good are the blitz dual sbc spec S and greddy profec b spec II.

I wanted your opinions on which is better because they are around the same price brand new.

Incase you need to know, my car is a r33 gtst series 2, i have a fmic, full exhaust, enclosed pod filter, r33 gtr fuel pump. I have an apexi power fc waiting to go in and im picking up a z32 afm this weekend.

So after i get the boost controller im gona get it tuned in the coming weeks, which ill have to research what places are good in sydney.

Thanks alot in advance guys.

Ther spec S is an entry level unit and will struggle with a turbo that isnt well setup boost conrol wise, Honestley in the blitz range you would need the spec-r.

the best unit on the market is the IDIII but between the Spec-s and Profec the Profec wins hands down.

i just finished a review on the HKS evc6 in another thread on this page.

Thank you uras i couldnt ask for a better more direct answer.

I dont have a really quick skyline and im not loaded, as much as i would like the best on the market, i might just stick with the profec.

Cheers

I think the Jaycar boost controller has qualities the more expensive ones lack (if you can be botherered to build one although i have heard you can buy them ready assembled).

1. It can totally eliminate any boost going to the actuator until you want it to.

2. Boost is determined by the duty cycle of the injectors and so independent of rpm and also reaction is quicker than measuring boost and then reacting to that.

If you have the time read the relevant bits of the "Jaycar"thread in the DIY section of the Stagea section. I am going to fit mine (and my DAFA and SITC) tomorrow so will have some real experience. A number of Stagea owners (including SK) have fitted them and I haven't heard any negative feedback.

    • 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. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
