oi i was gonna say the blitz sbc id3

or u can also go the hks evc iv

seriously, go look at the information for all of the mentioned boost controllers, then see which one suits u, and u like the look of, depending on price also, u can also get the ricey sbc color.

meh.

so u reckon they are better that avc-r or profec - e?

What about the Hybrid 2-stage electronic boost control?

Has anyone got anything good to say about that little gadget? I bought one simply because it was a good 'cheap' price for a EBC.

Yeah and despite those features they are still a pain in the ass to use and still dont hold boost better than a decent bleeder IMO!!! Go the Blitz...

...i no longer use an AVC-R, but did for 3-4 years with both the std turbo and a Trust turbo. The thing worked extremely well, never spiked, held stable boost. I was vert happy with it.

There have been several instances where ppl claim they have not worked...i just cannot understand how this can be the case. If you understand how they work (which aint rocket science, just read the manual) then they are even easy to setup. The instances where they have not worked 100% have usually been traced back to not being installed correctly, with wrong diameter hose, undesirably long lengths of the incorrect diam hose etc, its debatable whether any EBC woudl work optimally if installed in the same manner?!?!?!?!?!?!?

And they are a very flexible EBC, and the variabel duty cycle works very well as my std wastegate presssure is 0.65bar, and with the AVC-R set to 1.25bar it held boost just fine. So thats 9psi to 18psi and it managed to control boost. Others seem to say that its very difficult for an EBC to increase boost so much beyond what std spring pressure is, AVC-R did it.

Who gives a shit about a gain function when there is a PID loop trimming the boost to the desired level. This is how the autronic boost controller tables work and it is well impressive.

What you really want is a boost MAP, RPM vs Load just like any fuel or timing MAP. This way you can eliminate the wastegate cracking to early.

I dont think you can compare a bleeder vavle to a ebc. ie if your wastegate spring tension is 8psi and you want to run 15-20psi how is a bleeder going to hold the boost further along in the rev range when more and more pressure needs to be bled from the actuator?

If only everything was linear eh..

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
