Hey everyone just wondering what boost control everyone is using. I've had a greddy profec in the past and found it to be a slow process to get the settings right, Im using a turbosmart boost t for now but I'm looking at going electronic again. I'm stuck between the turbosmart eboost street and the hks evc. Thoughts??

Ps- IPhone = gayness and lots of accidental button pushing.

Profec B spec 2 on the stagea, gets up to max setting pretty well with little to no overboost

Currently on the track beast (yet to run) I'll just be setting the turbotech manual bleed valve to 1 bar as the twin turbo's are nothing special (just steel wheel rebuilds)

Huge thread on these units in the Forced Induction thread.

Profec B hard to beat at the price, I have 2 of them.

If you have the right actuator then a bleeder will do the job fine anyway.

+1

If the actuator is set close to your desired boost any form of control will work well.

My high presure actuator from hypergear only holds 13/14psi, so it's about a 7 psi increase I need. Il go compare prices at Autobarn and see what looks better. I did like my greddy profec, it was just hard to set.

I'm using a Blitz SBC I-D Spec R. Not a bad little unit...only one gripe I have...the dual solenoid unit is massive (compared to others)....little bit hard to hide from praying copper eyes

Stay away from gizzmo M2 timer and boost , kin shit unit , went wrong and combined with my foot over boosted and blew a ring in number 2 , STAY THE F AWAY FROM GIZZMO !!! , profec or sbc dual work well

I have a Blitz SBC I-Color in my M35. It was disconnected when the car was sold so I could get it registered. NFI how to plumb it in. :rofl2:

I'll plumb it up for you, into my car ;)

Blitz SBC ID III is what I had in my R33, was awesome, any of the Blitz dual solenoid units will keep you happy. When I bought mine several years ago i found a comparison between all the top brands and it came out on top.

I've got a Gizzmo MS-2 and it works fine. Took quite a while to get dialed in but it's all good now. It's handy having a boost controller and turbo timer in the one unit, saves clutter. I've got mine mounted where the handbreak release was as I have a factory manual and no release handle there. You can see it nicely through the bottom of the steering wheel.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
