hi all

i know there are other threads on boost controllers and i have read them but still cant decide what to do.

im currently in the market to buy an electronic boost controller for my series 2 R33 gtst, i have an apexi power fc (not currently installed....its coming lol) and cant decide on whether to buy the power fc boost controll kit or whether to buy something else such as an avc-r or profec b etc etc.

so basically im just after some advice from everyone on what i should do as it would be muchly appreciated

cheers

I was in the same boat a month ago. Bought the Gizzmo MS-IBC. I cant find anything bad about it. So dam easy to install/tune.

The hardest bit for ME was finding a good IGN power feed as i didnt have a Multi-meter or anything. From start to finish, it took me about 3 hours.

I like the AVC-R however i dont like the big TV screen that comes with it. The MS-IBC is soo compact that people cant see it from the outside.

yeah thats why i have been leaning toward getting the power fc additional boost control kit so then its all integrated into the one unit but then the other ones have all these cool features too, im just confused and undecided at the moment lol

Did you do a search?

theres heaps threads like this mate.

yeah i did do a search, if you notice what i wrote in my original post, i have read them but they still dont leave me with a definate way to go

Blitz id3 if i could afford it, gizzmo on a budget, but i got a HKS EVC IV for next too nothing, so using that

there was a recent thread on how good their gain and dual solenoids is! picked up massive midrange over an AVC-R

hmmmm looks like ill have to have a look for it and have a read me thinks

i have a oldish profec b with 2 knobs.

one is boost and one is gain. and a button for hi or low boost. best boost controler ever!

you just turn the gain all the way up, set the boost and turn the gain down till it doesnt surge.

so easy to use and ultra fast to set up. no entering set boost, gain etc etc......

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
