Gday all

I am looking at getting a ebc in a couple of weeks and not to sure which model/brand to get. I dont want any thing to over the top, just something that will hold boost

with out any spiking or drop off.

Can you just get a one setting ebc or are they all 2 stage?

What is every one using and do you have any problems eg spiking with them?

Cheers

Well I can't say which is the best because i haven't tried them all but the Jaycar EIBC works perfectly for me and is cheap for an electronic boost controller. It has precise control and you can build boost as fast as you want and hold boost at your chosen setting for as long as your turbo can make it. It has two settings but I only need one setting so i have put the same map on both settings in case someone switches over to the other one. The only drawback is that it comes in a kit form but you may be able to buy one already assembled. There is a comprehensive thread in the DUY section.

+1 for the IEBC, but without the spelling errors :)

i'm also running the Jaycar IEBC in my stagea, works really well and hold boost perfectly, after about a week of street tuning i had is sitting where i wanted it. i brought one that was already assembled and i just had to wire it in so i cant comment on how easy/hard the assembly is. i went for the IEBC because it was like 1/6th the price of anything from japan at the time, and works with the stock boost solenoid just to keep things covert.

and i did run a Greddy Profec B Spec-II in my 32, it also performed more than well enough for what my setup was. i think it comes down to your budget, any of the good name brand boost controllers eg Greddy/HKS/Blitz are good, and i dont think you will notice any difference between them on a street driven/setup car.

+2 on the GReddy Profec B spec II. I'd heard nothing but good things about them, and since having one put on my car I have to agree that it's very stable. With a bit of fine-tuning of the PFC on my car, I get almost the same amount of power on 7psi (low boost) as I used to get before the EBC install when it was on 10psi. On high boost now (10psi), I have about 18kW more than before the EBC was installed.

The best thing is that I have the same power as before (or more on high boost), but with a much more progressive boost curve and more torque accross the whole rev range.

also one more for the profec, its smaller front makes it easier to put in a position you cant see from outside the car. ie, theives dont see it. the id3 has a largish LCD and can be quite visible from the outside unless you hide it

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
