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.

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, 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
