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.

    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
    • Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
