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.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
