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...

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
