Hey guys,

Just about to puchase an EBC but not exactly sure whats the go with all of them. HKS EVC, Blitz DSBC, Apexi AVCR, Trust Profec-B... My car's never going to run over 1.5 Bar, and i've got a feeling that all the flashy lights and cool displays will eventially become a little bit of a gimmic, so the Blitz is looking the option.

What i'd like to know is peoples experience with the different EBC's the troubles they've had (during install, useage, etc), reasonable limitations of the models, and if the flashy displays have had the novelty worn off after owning it for a while.

Thanks guys!

Have u had a look at Turbosmart? I have the E-Boost installed which also acts as a Boost Guage. You can have three boost settings and it is very compact and easy to set up. I had mine tuned within 5 minutes driving on the street, by just following the instructions. E-Boost can also be cheaper than some of the jap brands.

I've had a Blitz SBC-ID.

Holds boost up top as it learns the boost curve and duty cycle that must be set in order to achieve the boost setting you enter.

You can setup one of the 4 or so channels as a scramble channel that spikes up a little when you first punch it or change gear.

Thats the way I used to have mine set.

Manual mode that would make slightly more boost for the first second or so then the auto mode would take over from there.

Had an apexi avc-r... was easy to use and install but had a little boost spiking problem on 12psi plus settings.... Was a little slow to compute the spiking and tune it out...

Must get a dual sol... much better for holding boost...

Got a BLITZ SBC-i-D III now... yet to install... next week

Did all the research and it seem to be really good... Will let u know...

Plus its single din height and 1/2 din wide so it fits a treat under aftermarket single din headunit in a 33...

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
