Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me if there is an advantage of using the AVC-R over the pfc bost control kit? I tried doing a search on this but it kept coming back with errors.

I was going to get the AVC-R, but dont know if there is any advantage in getting it, as it costs more than getting the boost kit for the pfc

Thanks for your help.

It uses the same boost control solenoid as the AVCR. I have the PFC boost kit and no problems with it.

is there anything that the avc-r can do that the pfc cant? apart from having a 1/2 din blue screen in your dash? :P

avcr has gear based boost control

avcr has rpm based boost control

whether those things are worth 200$ more or up to you

oh ok...the gear based boost control might be worth it. Being able to limit boost in the lower gears would be quite useful. Seeing as there is a heap of money going into making the power, $200 will be worth it to help limit wheel spin in 1st and 2nd gears :P

Cheers for that :)

thanks for the link ;)

I just tried to search again and got the same error:

Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.

The error returned was:

One or all of your search keywords were below 4 characters or you are searched for words which are not allowed, such as 'html', 'img', etc, please go back and increase the length of these search keywords or choose different keywords.

oh...i think I get it now. I guess it cant handle fc in the search criteria :P

I have the PFC boost control kit and it controls boost very accurately.

However, with the plan of a bigger turbo in the pipeline, I would probably have gone with the AVC-R so that I can limit boost in lower gears.

And although some people will say that I can limit boost with my right foot, and I've said it myself as well, it would still be VERY handy to be able to have control over the boost characteristics of the engine.

If anyone has an R34 and wants the PFC boost kit, I'll swap for an AVC-R. Cash adjustment of course.

However, with the plan of a bigger turbo in the pipeline, I would probably have gone with the AVC-R so that I can limit boost in lower gears.

Hey Bass, thats what I thought too. Being able to control boost in 1st & 2nd especially. I am looking at getting to 300rwkw so prefer something that will electronically control the boost.

I know I wont be able to trust my right boot :)

PS  Love the white writing on your tyres by the way,  very RACE!

Thanks man ;)

Takes a lot of time colouring in the writing with a paint pen :) In the photo I only did half on each tyre. Started getting too dark.

I'm sure if you were trying to reduce wheel spin in a certain situation and had the ability to do it electronically, you would.

I know I would.

Lower boost in 1st and 2nd gear is simplistic at best. Let me see if I have it right;

You run 1.5 bar in 3rd, 4th and 5th

But say 1.2 bar in 1st and 2nd

That way you will get less wheelspin in 1st and 2nd :D

But what if it is a nice warm day and the road is clean and it will handle 1.3 bar?

But what if it is raining and 0.8 bar is needed for less wheeelspin?

But what about if the road is sorta clean and has only a few bumps, so 1.25 bar would be good,

But what about if the road is a bit bumpy, and the tyres are getting old, and 1.15 bar is the go.

Do you limit the 1st and 2nd gear boost to 1.15, 1.2, 1.25 or 1.3 bar? <_<

What you need is traction control, not lower boost. And the best traction control is your right foot.

:) cheers :angry:

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
