ok, what are peoples experiences with the Electronic Boost Controllers? Id love some feedback with ease of use, installation difficulty, value for money and of course, the good, bad and downright ugly of em all. Ive read a few writeups on turbosmart e-boost and blitz ebc's but companies generally write what they want you to know.

Cheers, Allan

Hey mate I can't offer any real feed back but I'm looking at a HDi setup.

So far the reviews I've found are good and it seems to be a reasonable price for the simple all electronic setup. So far this is my pick for bang for your buck so I'll let you know what its like when I get mine at xmas.

what sort of prices are you looking at buddy? as there is quite a range out there,

bang for buck i couldnt go past an hdi one - however i went for the model below, the one without the gauge (as i already had one)

its a nice little neat device and the delivery from the supplier was equally nice hahah

i may even know of one for sale in the Brisbane area in immaculate condition...complete with optional Blitz Power Meter.

do you know what colour? i got the URAS edition and the white stands out a bit against the dash..

its just the regular grey colour...the white ones are a bit ricey.

who said AVC-R?...lol...try running 24+ psi with an AVC-R.

Ill have to post some piccies one day of my death machine, methanol and 36pound into a 1.8l sohc subaru donk of the 1980's vintage. was my weekend warrior for the drags but ive been commanded to get rid of it lol, i have spent waaaay to much money on it. Thanks for the input guys, its great, as for DirtGarage, id love to know more of the ID III please good sir. I was also recommended an AVCR or Blitz by another person so it seems there the go! Hopefully that gearbox is well on its way to getting built and my turbo's will arrive mid next week.

Cheers, Allan

I run a basic Blitz EBC at 25 lb and have never seen an issue with it Allan.

Have a few friends all running 20 plus lb with a variety of ebc's as well.

The most popular big boost ebc at Jambo that I saw was the turbo smart job. Some of those guys were running insane amounts of pressure through those things.

I did a review on the AVC-R vs the SBC ID-III a few years back...

You might find it helpful... I personally believe the ID-III is probablly the best money can buy, they just so realiable and easy to use...

I Also agree with Paul, the AVC-R can be very touchy with high boost applications... Most single solinoid controllers face this issue when using a high gain...

Anyway, link to the review I did ---> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/SB...ml&hl=avc-r

all the time buddy ! :D

have you mapped whats actually occurring on a dyno with the AVC-R at 24+?

we changed from avc-r to Blitz ID-III and made the same power with 2psi less peak boost.

Have used the Blitz ID-III to control boost on several low mount twin internally wastegated and single high mount externally wastegated set-ups up to 34psi...solid as a rock!

Edited by DiRTgarage

Didn't you hear Noel ? He has a turbo'd micra that makes 50hp on 25psi of boost. The turbo is actually a specially designed straw that he blows into while he's driving. He gets them for free from the Baskins store.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
