Hi ppl,

Just hunting round for a decent electronic boost controller and at the same time not spend too much.

I was looking at the Greddy Profec B-Spec II and the Turbosmart E-Boost 2 ones. Bit pricey but hoping to maybe find S/H.

Just want to know from peoples experience which has been good for them etc.

Cheers!

hey Pulp,

I've got an Greddy Profec -A, althou its not the one your looking at, i find it to be top, holds boost perfect and very easy to tune.

so going by that i would say the Profec B would be very similar.

Just had a quick look for Profec B and looks like the range from $300 to $500, if you cant get one for cheaper than $400 you might aswell go something like blitz ID-3

I know it's a bit off, but personally, i'm a Apexi fan. So it's the AVC-R. There's a reason why Apexi has not upgraded the AVC-R since it's launch, cause it just works so well. There is not much of a need to upgrade it. Some pple said that the AVC-R's solenoid is a perfect replacement for a skyline, which i think is just biasedness again, and should be bullshit. LoL.

My .5 cents worth. Again, remember. I'm a apexi fan. LOL

Thanks guys!

EVL, I'll check out the Profec -A, sounds ok.

KeeFy, yeah I like the Apexi gear too, am def getting an SAFCII and wanted an e-boost controller as well, but I think the AVC-R is pretty pricey compared.

I'll see what I find!

Doesn't really matter I spose Dan, is it better to buy through Nengun?

Although been speaking to Lumpy at Hyperdrive and he said cause my trans is Auto, to get the HP I want I'd have to go either PFC or a Greddy E-Manage kit. The SAFC combination wouldn't control or handle timing well etc.

The PFC would cost me more cause it takes more to tune with auto. So the E-manage kit would be a slightly cheaper and better option as it can be piggy backed.

pfc Does not work with auto nissans.

already been down this path.  I ended up getting  the emanage ultimate and profec e 01.

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing hey!

Did you do anything to the trans anyway? like any mods etc, or did it handle it fine?

no mods to gearbox as yet. will be getting shift kit form mv automatics though. PFC just will not work with the shift logic of the skyline gbox. I would have prefered pfc, but atleast you can hook emanage up to laptop and tune it yourself.

yeah i thinking of getting an electronic boost contoler looking for second hand APEXI AVCR i think they seem to be able to do the most rather than just plain two boost setting and thats it. Mines also auto buy yeah its a r32 so different to you guys.

Mad34 let me know when you get the shift kit from MV i was gona get one too and a trans cooler maybe cheaper to get together even if they are different

Hmm I've known a few people with AVCRs and even though they look nice, they've all had dramas. Not holding boost, too tricky to use etc etc. One of them switched to a Greddy Profec B Spec II and said it was awesome. Controlled boost a lot better.

But I do admit the AVCRs look sweet :)

E boost 2 are the best no spiking + you get a boost gauge with it

they are australian and the after sales is exerlent

i have one and was unhappy with it so i e mailed turbosmart and 30seconds no shit i had a phone call asking wat was wrong

they promtly told me how to use it my self now i agust it and my car is running very good

i have set it so good i hav the best power band and wen i get an e management i will play around with it again

james

theres a new blitz i-color or something with the slick colour screen and more logging/display options . the id3 has a mono screen and still has some pretty good monitoring/logging options

the duty cycle/boost curve learning thing can be tough to setup but its great when its working . the blitz can be set to manual if you want to go old school

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
