I've had e boost, never again, HKS EVC

You generally get what you pay for

Not always true, I had a HKS EVC and it was the most unreliable POS on the planet, it was replaced by the Greddy and the car now has a better boost curve...

That's right thats why I said generally, I have two EVCs now ( 4 & 5 ) and never had an issue, but both came up at good prices when I needed something, so either I've had a good run or your one had an issue, who knows but I know I'd wouldn't ever go the e boost, I spent hours setting up and CRD tried and no matter what we did it wouldn't catch how quick the 32 came on boost, fitted the EVC and with no setting it up had no more problems, been in car for 8-9 years so far

eBoost = great, but overpriced considering it's is just using a MAC valve

Profec = great, decent is price, uses the same MAC valve as most controllers

EVC = awesome, stepper motor holds boost well

Blitz Dual Spec-R = awesome, dual solenoid holds boost so flat you could put a ruler on it

Turbosmart Dual stage = junk, awesome spike

Turbosmart Single stage = junk, awesome spike

A mate had plenty of issues with the original series, in saying that i believe the retard tuner was partially to blame!

Yep i know a few that swear by them hence my purchase, as usual i am just unlucky lol

ive noticed alot of people running greddy profec ebc's are they way to go, hold boost like they should?

Yep, do the job fine! Work well on my car!

^ true story, my 180 came with one, first mod was to remove it and sell it. Then my current shitbox came with one, removed it the first day I got the car, and sold it on eBay.

Biggest croc of shit on the planet, essentially it's just a pos bleed valve with a solenoid to enable the bleed or not.. total shit, however their external gates are good. They should stop making boost controllers LOL

A gate technically controls boost, so therefore would be a boost controller? :blink::laugh:

thanks for your advise guys appreciate it. I'm thinking i might go with the Greddy ebc that option seems good value for cost.

I have researched before but it is easier to ask the question and get direct answers instead of sifting through junk on the net.

thanks for the help matt.

You should be right with the Greddy...

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Hey Prank, Any chance you could easily lock all the old FS and WTB posts? Even if it's just a one off hit through there. The majority of posts are people asking someone if they still have something for sale from 8+ years ago, when the person who originally advertised it hasn't been on the site in donkeys years. Just a thought I had. Maybe go through and lock everything older than 12 months or something?

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'd be thinking it's the other way around. Less of an impact when rich compared to lean, but definitely in a lean condition the cat specifically uses up a lot more free oxygen. When rich it's grabbing oxygen from other places to like NOx, but it still gets converted to CO2 and H2O.

      Sorry yeah - My post was a mess and I attempted to fix it. In my example both sensors are post-cat. I realized later that I had literally pulled the motor apart and we saw no evidence of any knock and everything was sweet, so my WB was likely accurate (enough!, if anything the engine looked a little rich) In your example I'd want to recalibrate both sensors. I realize this is not possible in the real world. Best you can do is: 1) Calibrate current sensor 2) Calibrate a brand new sensor in same location (do you have an older one to compare to? Or is this a new purchase) Observe any changes in readings. I always thought it was 1M, I am clearly out of date. Mine is likely 2m+. I didn't want to have to choose one bank over another in my application.
