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

    • 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.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
