alright out of the two which one you guys recommenned ??

i heard with the blitz one you can set a "high boost" button......

can this be done with the apexi ??

cause i would prefer to get the avcr as it goes with my turbo timer....silver with blue backlit.....and also i plan to get power fc....so im thinking the avcr would be more compatible with it....

can i get some comments on people how have either of them installed ?

cheers....

you might not like this but it's my experience..... I didn't have an avcr but I had the boost controller that goes with power fc, which uses the same solenoid as avcr. Ever since I put it in I had problems... fluttering boost... power loss etc.

I went to croydon and they said the boost controller would be my problem so I did a lot of reading up about it and found that these solenoids are prone to this kind of problem and has problems with the wastegate (hence the boost flutter).

Changed it to a Blitz Dual SBC Spec R about a month ago and instantly my car was much better....

You may be lucky and never experience any of these problems... I hope for your sake you are lucky.

hehe madd ill take you up on that...ill prob go to tha sau dinner thing on 29th is it ??

you can tune it for me then !! hehe...

:)

hmmm.....now this is making me paranoid....cause my mechanic warned me about this...he was saying they both have the same performance but the apexi ones sometimes have issues.....and he said the blitz is easier to use...and its $50 cheaper too ! hehe...

but hey frank seems to have gotten a lot of use out of one avcr........

just hope i can do the same...

yeah the only thing i didnt like about the blitz one was that it looks empty with just the boost controller by itself...cause its designed and shaped to go with the Power id......

can a "high boost" button be set up with the avcr ???

cause so far i read the id3 and the profec B-spec 2 both have that function..

avc-r has 3 settings. boost: you can have boost "OFF" which means it runs standard boost.

Setting "A" which you could set up for high boost and setting "B" which could be for low boost

I run "high boost" all the time, if I don't want to go as fast, I don't push the throttle pedal down so far. Honestly I see no advantage in multiple boost settings, I would be afraid of getting caught on "low boost" at the wrong time.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
