riceline Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Isn't the Gizmo a RPM shift light and launch Ctrl thing? or do they have new stuff out again.

Tommyk Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Id advise you to even get one 2nd hand off the forums, than get one by the name of Gizmo Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/70249-electronic-boost-controller/#findComment-1297666 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN00H Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 yeah - just get one of the tried and tested ones. I SK has been playing around with a Jaycar unit - cheap Myself, I went for an SBC id III, see if you can get one S/H, or get into one of the group buys.

If you just want someting cheap and reliable why not go for a BLEED VALVE almost guaranteed never to break down...works without eletricity too Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/70249-electronic-boost-controller/#findComment-1298007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulr33 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 bleed valve is not exactly relibable. a cheap ebc will serve its purpose and be accurate. i got a 2nd hks evc for $250 and it works awesome, i had a problem with it last week but it was just loose wiring. does awesome boost control Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/70249-electronic-boost-controller/#findComment-1298052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkylineR33 Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 Hey, well bleed valves are risky and dangerous as ive heard from alot of people. They generally spike and thats something i dont want to encounter and risk blowing my car up lol.

thommo Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 for something that needs to be reliable in it's performance such as a boost controller, i think you're best to go for a well known unit. the jaycar boost control is fine if you have the time and knowhow to set it up, but if you're like me and just want something that you can get fitted and basically have no worries with go for AVCR or SBC idIII. both can be found for around 570-630 new.

32vspecII Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 get the profec , or you can get a blitz ssbc for about 400 also . i got a second hand old blitz ssbc off the forums , here . it didnt work . luckily the guy gave me back most of my money , got a 2nd one of the same type and replaced the faulty control unit . so it cost about 200$ all up and ive got some spares just incase .
