Inast, is that a boost controller made by TRUST? I was told to use a Trust Profec B spec by one tuning workshop or a Blitz Spec R by another workshop...

Ronin, is the Blitz SBC iD II anything like this Blitz Spec R??

AVCR is still one of the best if you ask me

Alot of people say its rice because of its mad vacuum flouresent screen, but it goes well with the system. The screen is dot matrix and does well at showing detailed graphs and analog meters aswell.

Boost is stable and controlled, and yes it is harder to use than most of the others simply because it has more detailed settings and options.

Tune it right, youll get exacly what you want.

Apexi dont stuff around.

Make sure you have the car dyno tuned at the maximum boost you want to run. I know at least 3 Skyline owners who have blown their engines from installing a boost controller and thinking "I wonder how she goes on 19psi". Boom.

Myself, I have no boost controller, fixed at 20psi. Control the power with your right foot, thats what the pedal is for.

I know this may be hijacking the thread a bit, but does anyone run the Greddy e-01 boost controller? Are they worth the expense?

Its a bit more expensive than the others (similar to AVCR) but im thinkng about getting one teamed up with an emanage when i get the money.

AVC-R is definitely one of the best, for my money. Most people worry whether the EBC will hold boost, but they forget that it's also important that the EBC doesn't spike, and the boost reading is accurate. Some of the other big names have been known to overboost a fair bit. My 2c.

.....won all sorts of awards.....

Funny I never seen this award ceremony on TV, must be something like Grammy awards I suppose? It better not be some of those so-that-you'll-notice-me-hey-I-win-an-award award thing!

Sorry for the "sarcasm", but there are many manufacturers out there who doesn't need to win an award in order to produce great products.

question: why would people spend up tp $1,500 on boost controll when you can buy a standalone ecu for around that price and get all the features of boost controll + alot of other stuff...?

Hmm... problem is not many standalone ecu for that price incorporates everything. Not sure about Wolf but even PowerFC DOES NOT have a boost controller embedded, it is still an option add-on that you need to buy.... so as far as I know there hasn't been any so far... unless u can show us which aftermarket ECU has boost controller included for that price.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
