Electronic Boost Controller

[Punk72]

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

The best: Blitz SBC ID3

Best value: Gizzmo MS IBC(something like that, make sure it is the black one, the earlier silver models didn't hold boost as well.)

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.

Both my cars have Greddy Profec B II. Boost is held perfectly flat and for a reasonable price.

Most of the decent name brands will do the job fine so anything that is reasonable on price is the way to go.

+1 Greddy Profec B Spec II...

Piece of piss to work with well priced, hold boost well, can tune urself easily with zero prior knowledge.

+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.

+3 on the profec b spec ii. just installed one yesterday in a mates car. easy to install and use...

or blitz id3 if you dont like greddy. yes ive had both units

[FR33K]

+4 profec b is definitely the easiest controller to use and very well priced...

[Race__24]

The Blitz SBC ID-3 would be my choice, easy enough to use and very accurate.

[Punk72]

hey all

thanks for all your input, I recon i will be going the GReddy Profec B spec II as i haven't heard any bad reports about them

cheers

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
