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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
