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.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
