Hey all,

I'm looking at getting a power fc and boost controller, was originally thinking AVCR (or possibly go cheapo 2 stage tubosmart controller), but i've seen advertised on the nengun site another apexi boost control kit designed to work with the power fc. Apparently it works using the same solenoid as the avcr.

Has anyone used one of these or heard any stories about it?? It works out a fair bit cheaper than the avcr.

If anyone has heard any stories about these it would be good to find out. If they suck i'd prefer to spend an extra few hundred for the avcr.

Cheers :cheers:

Its exactly the same solinoid, Just the avc-r has extra functions that you carnt access on the Power FC ecu. Eg: Start Duty, F/B Speed, Learn Gear, RPM based Boost etc.

The power fc will only let you control boost pressure and not use any of thoes other functions. - So if you just want to control boost buy the solinoid (If you have pfc) but if you want to play with the extra functions go the avc-r.

Bit of a highjack so sorry in advance but if you already have an EBC (i have a Blitz DualSBC), it is worth going the proper boost control kit with a PowerFC? (I have one of these babies due to arrive any day now). That is, should i sell my current EBC and get a proper solenoid for the PFC?

Yes i can dammage it. The more boost you run the hotter the exhaust wheel gets and the stock turbo exhaust wheel can only resist a certain amount of heat before it ends up into your cat.

AVC-R is a very good boost controler, Its not hard to use once you get the generel idea,

I havn't used the HKS evc myself but i've herd they are good aswel.

hmmmm don't really want spikes, stock turbo so if i get bad spikes can it damage it?? (say if i'm running like 10-12 psi and it starts bouncing to 14-15psi or something???)

i heard avcr was good?? would a hks evc be better??

i'm not trying to say that AVCRs are bad dude.. just at higher levels ie 1.2bar and above ... theres a tendency to spike .. on SOME applications ..... i'm still going to buy one regardless personally and i intend to run somewhere up to 1.2bar all going to plan.... plus it adds more bling to your interior lol

HKS EVC are very good units too .. but u get what u pay for in that respect

alot of tuners swear by Greedy Profec B .. the ole school black...

One of my mates used to run the Power FC with the boost control kit. He didn't like it tho and preferred a separate EBC because changing the boost properties was extremely tedious; it was accessed through several menus.

Sorry I don't understand, on the Commander it is under settings and boost control. I leave the Commander in that screeen and set the boost control up on the dyno and then on the road. I have no idea why you would want to hop in and out of the menus all the time to change the boost settings. I mean how many times are you going to set up the boost control, in 3 years I think I have done it twice.

Maybe it's me, I simply don't enjoy playing with the "toys", I actually prefer to drive the car. :(

The power FC boost contoller kit is extremely easy to set up. I managed to set up 4 boost settings in about 30 minutes with the help of my girlfriend.

Hey guys sorry for digup of an old thread. For those that have this kit, I've noticed the powerfc has one aux plug in for the boost control kit, and it looks like its 5 wires. it appears the avcr solenoid is 2 wires and the pressure sensor is 3 wires. does this sound right so far? I would like to hook up a map sensor and plug it into the same loom but not actually use the avc-r solenoid. I already have a boost controller but would like hand controller to show boost pressure under monitor. So I figured using the sensor harness and map sensor (that the powerfc boost control kit uses) should achieve this. Does this sound logical? Nengun have the part numbers for the boost control sensor harness and map sensor for about $175au.

My max boost level control is via my right foot.

mine too. With a powerfc, you are stupid to think that you can just "give her a bit more boost"

As soon as you do that, it leans, and goes bang. Fuel Maps do what they are told, and nothing else. I really wonder why people have this need to Have "hi and low boost"

To me, its High and low WANK. If you need a low boost setting to drive slower, you shouldn't be on the road.

Wasn't aiming this at anyone, just my opinion.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
