:flamed:  

I am damn sick of people and their opinions on the AVCR, have you people that think its just a fancy screen even used one before?  

Go have a look at most of the top times for japanese cars and look what boost controllers they are using, APEXi is not a small nor un-advanced company

They produde amazing electronics, and this one happens to have a 'blow away the compition' screen that comes with it, the screen is amazingly functionable and helps with alot of the controll  

the SAFC has the exact same screen.. i dont hear people paying it out for its 'rice' screen.  

it is a great EBC, ive helped a few friends use it, and ill be getting one in a few weeks

Relax dude, i didn't say it's not a good boost controller, i said it's fancier and more expensive than a profec B. Also no one said Apexi is a small company however i don't think they are as big as Trust or HKS.

Oh and it's about time you bought yourself new glasses! Look at all the hardco jap cars in JAPAN and you'll see they all use profec B, just for the very reason that it is simple and does a great job. (check out cars done by JUN, Top Secret, C-West etc.) I am yet to see an Apexi avcr on a harco japanese car. However i saw it on cars of yanks just because they love hairstyles as much as you do ;)

I wasnt directing it towards you, it was a general statement so i dont appriciate the things directed towards me in the above.

Have u ever used an AVCR?

Have u ever used a Profec B?

Ive seen 100s of cars in japan in person when i went there last year that swear by the AVCR .. hmm wait thats cos they all use the Power FC and still put an AVCR ontop of it ;)

Yanks? My hairstyle?

I bet u didnt know that ALOT of HKS, Apexi and other japanese brand equipment will soon if not already be produced in 'yank' land, as its their second biggest market.

Sit back in your seat and dwell my friend, think before action, i was simply stating my opinion no need to retaliate

Peace and good day to you :D

got my avcr installed and it's a great boost controller :( very happy... the only ebc's i looked at when i was shopping around were from apexi, hks, trust and blitz... i'm sure there are other good ones out there but a lot of tuners know how to install and tune the more well known ebc's...

Hey Evil,

What are some of your settings only need, bst/dty,scramble,ne point, f/b speed, start duty, learn gear ? if its possible :)

(for R33 Gtst 95')

Cheers,

don't know all the settings... i'll have to check it when i get the chance... i know its set to 9psi (which is enough, my car makes 178rwkw)

Firstly theres no need to be offended by my reply. Secondly you don't quote someones exact words and say you weren't directing them to the owner, especially in a discussion forum. Thirdly few of my friends use apexi avcr but i haven't used it however i use my profec B all the time. Fourthly i believe what i see and all the cars you see "in person in japan" mustn't be making it to magazines, vidoes or the internet as i'm yet to see one with avcr (except apexi factory cars).

And finally your comments about US being a big market are totally irrelevant.

Good day! :)

How long have u been on SAU? not that its relevant but telling me what to do on a discussion forum is a nono, im a moderator and possible administrator (soon) of 2 seperate forums. Just because a car doesnt make it to "videos and magazines" doesnt mean its not making a ridiculous RWKW figure and 1/4 and track times.

I think you get your mind set on things to easily and are too stubborn to realise the error of the mind set when it happens. My US market sentence is irrelevant as you talking about haircut styles and yanks.

No harm done,

Back to the thread :)

Ordering my AVCR next week, already got the SAFC2SE (yes with white screen, so ill have one white and one blue, easy to differenciate) :headspin:

I love the 'techness' of the duty cycle settings and the sheer amount of user changeable settings, it gives you total control of starter, midrange and peak boost, not to mention allows you to finely tune it for stable boost controll.

Yeah I do!

The GFB Atomic... Works well enough for the price. Spikes a little, like when you floor it at high RPM, but otherwise the boost is quite stable. I wouldnt mind an EBC, but that'll come later as i'd rather do something else with $600-800 frankly...

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
