AVCR is the worst ever..

I use a GiZZMO MS IBC which I picked up brand new for $300.. works perfect, ran it on both external and internal gate setups (1.3 bar) and no issues at all. Awesome boost curves all day and very similar to the BLITZ SPEC R

If you don't mind spending the cash then go BLITZ SPEC R, if you want to get something just as good for half the price go a GiZZMO MS IBC

I have boost grapghs for the MS IBC if you wanna see :)

yeah we wanna see :)

i noticed there are 2 versions of the gizzmo. is there much difference?

Not to hijack or anything but its a good thing I read this thread first basically I'm on the market for one as well just got myself a PFC so I was just planning to get Apexi's PFC Boost Controller for convenience sake and i don't want another doo hickey on my dash, but because that uses the same solenoid as the AVCR I'm guessing that one is shit too?

Appreciate any advice guys.....

P.S. @Hamish...When is this Buller thing going through man???...Anyone up for duck meet next week?

Holy crap....thanks for the link abu, I just took my baby to Trent the other day...if I cant trust my own tuner who can I trust??? lol, Well I guess since PFC Boost Control and AVCR use the same solenoid AVCR is obviously out of the questoin....greattt... now I have to get a boost controller....another thing to put on my dash...

EDIT: Anyone know where to get Gizzmo IBC or a Profec for a decent price?

yeah the silver is the previous model. but does anyone know if there's a performance difference between the two?
So if a new IBC is around 300-400, and an AVCR is aorund 700-800 (just quick price look up)

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PAYING FOR FOR AN AVCR?...is it made of gold???

lol probably for the brand name but I checked and it's certainly not made of gold :)

I got my MS IBC from modyourcar.com they usually run a special on them http://www.modyourcar.com.au/gizzmo-msibc-...ontroller-p5327

$299 at the moment + delivery which is decent, that's what I paid late last year for one. Also check with Trent because I know he can get them so he might be able to work out something for you incl installation and tune if your going through him

Not sure on the difference between the silver one and the black one, probably best to go to the GIZZMO site and compare the two. They have full specs on the GIZZMO site but when I asked Trent ages ago he specifically said get the black one (MSIBC) so I went with that

GIZZMO IBC (SILVER): http://www.gizzmoelectronics.com/Product_IBC.html

GIZZMO MS IBC (BlACK): http://www.gizzmoelectronics.com/Product_MSIBC.html

Man I should work for GIZZMO!!

AVCR is the best.

I got the PFC boost control kit that uses the same solinoid, the boost curve is flat at 20 PSI!

Get one, you wont look back.

:) You did look at the post Abu posted right?

Woww duudee....Why so serious......

All I'm saying is you got some dyno sheets to prove your case cause the way I see it AVCR has got some bad rep and Trent's dyno sheets prove just that...plus how can you justify the 3x price tag compared to something like the IBC?

Why so serious?

As I said to you before, I am explaining to the fella that wanted advice on what setup I had, and how it worked (and it worked great).

Why the f**k would you write "did you not read abus article"?

Even if I read his article, it wouldn't change how my boost controller performed would it?

So why write it?

abu has had his experience, I've had mine.

Do you see my point yet considering my thorough explanation above?

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
