EBC vs PFC Boost kit

[SeriesIIGTST]

I actually asked this question in another thread about the PowerFC boost kit however it probably deserves it own thread.

I have just bought a PFC + HC (thanks Greenline!) and already have an EBC (Blitz Dual SBC). My question is, is it worth selling the Blitz EBC and getting the boost kit for the PFC rather than have my current EBC controlling my boost?

Currently my Blitz EBC has 4 settings which i do tend to flick between quite often (wet, economy, fast, faster!) so i do quite enjoy having that luxury but am unsure how changing the boost on a separate EBC affects my tune on my PFC?

Any input you could give would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Really? no one hey? i find it hard to believe that no-one out there has an opinion on PowerFC + Boost kit vs PowerFC + EBC.

What are you people all using for those that run a PowerFC?

I run a greddy Profec B with the PFC. I chose this over the boost kit as I didn't have the hand controller, so as a bundle it would have been around $850 delivered.

The preofec B is a great device as it is simple to use and has an easy to read display with visual and audable warnings when overboosting.

Do a google search and you'll find heaps of stuff, and some scientific information and not just peoples oppinions.

Although If I already had the hand controller, I would go the boost kit.

You mose will use it, you'll have to wire it into your ecu harness.

And to use this you'll have to disable the boost controller option (PFC) under ETC menu, with it on it will use the power fc solinoid.

But if you can sell the blitz and buy the Apexi boost control solinoid i'm sure it will work best with the PFC.

We have two systems... One a car a Blitz dual solenoid set-up and the other a Apexi intergrated model.

With the Apexi job you need DataLogit to get full on switching... using HC will make it slitely clumse. Having said that, the control is more seamless when using all one stuff.

IMO, Apexi, just because it is designed to go together.

Power FC with boost kit. :jester:

The only advantage of having the FC boost kit is to be able to monitor boost levels and settings with the hand controller. Its ability to control boost is not any superior to your current unit.

Your blitz unit is already installed and if you are happy with it, why bother...?

If you have a datalogit system you can log your boost settings. :Pimp:

Very true SK.

I control my boost with the EVC but still monitor boost with the MAP sensor from the boost kit.

Thanks for your responses. For an everyday user that doesn't race or anything like that but enjoys driving a skyline for the sake of driving of skyline, i don't think i'll ever log any results or for that matter, own a datalogit. Therefore, although obviously a fully integrated system would ultimately be better, I don't think i can really justify the extra expense or hassle for getting the boost kit if my existing EBC is going to work just as well. I'm very happy with my Blitz unit, it does a great job so i may just leave it as that.

Another minus of using the boost kit (according to a friend) was that it proved to be pretty "fiddly" to change settings. IMO good choice to stick with the blitz.

Your friends just un co-ordinated :jk:

Theirs nothing hard to changing the boost settings on the PFC just a matter of setting the duty cycle right too the amount of boost you want to run.

If your in monitor mode there are afew steps to get back to the screen to do as above. Sometimes a little annoying on the fly. However still not too hard.
