Hey Rezz,

As you said you'll provide alternative parts from those big brand jap names Apex Trust HKS, etc... so I got a question...

What kind of (any) electronic boost controller that you cater for? Are there more out there beside AVC-R/HKS EVC/Greddy SBC?

Thank's for ur time. G'luck with the new venture.

Very good question... I was wondering when someone might ask this.

Basically, Apex (in paticular) as well as HKS, Trust etc have the car electronics side of things tied up. No other "unknown brands" really produce anything up to par. Sure, plenty of Garages produce their own pre-programmed ROM or sports ECU`s, but they don`t sell them unless they fit them... pretty hard if your not in Japan.

So until an "unknown brand" produces a good boost controller or AFC or Programmable ECU, it`s best that you buy one of the big name brands.

Pivot is out there though isn`t it? I`m still hanging out for M2 to bring out there electronics goods... (drool)

By the way, *M2* is the new super brand from Japan. These guys are unstoppable. They`ve gone from a little Titanium muffler for an EG Civic a few years back, to a complete (growing) line-up of super low-price goods, eg: A$285 (each) 17"x9.5" deep-dish alloy wheels... all developed in-house. It`s like they bring out a new product each month.

Rezz;

Super idea concentrating on the so called 'no name brands' as opposed to the big names...i have a feeling the prices will be very tempting. Just one question, are we able to obtain technical data to compare these products with big name products?

Good luck in your adventure and hope to do business with you soon.

Regards.

Thanks Jetdat, much appreciated!

As far as technical data is concerened, I`m pretty much at the whim of magazines like Option2 and Drift Tengoku to do independent tests of the products I deal with. So far, they`ve just tested 3 or 4 cheap brands against each other, not against the big name brands though.

I well aware that sometimes cheap = nasty, so I`ve screened everything before putting it on my website. So basically, if it isn`t vale for money and/or doesn`t improve performance/increase the driving experience, then I don`t want to sell it.

Hi Rezz, good luck with the venture - I am sure it will go well:)

While I am here, I have been looking everywhere for an oil filter adaptor and/or filter remote locator (annodised preferrabley), that can be used with an oil cooler and has a built in thermostat (or oilstat) It is driveing me nuts as they just dont seem avaible anywhere! Any chance you have seen or can get?

Also looking for an overfloor brace that goes between the seat belt points in a skyline, doluck make them but the are bloody expensive.

Sorry I couldnt wait for the website, I am just getting excited.

Cheers

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
