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.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
