Boost Controllers - Suggestions?

[Morgs]

Hi all,

After a functional boost controller as my old AVC-R is not up to the job of controlling boost effectively anymore.

Who is using what? On what car what sort of boost?

I've been eyeing off the BLITZ controllers & TRUST PROfecs - any opinions on these?

[B0BB0]

I have a profec e, it works well, just had the problem where i had to wipe the memory, if u aint keen on the ricey screen, get the profec b. they are really good from what i have seen of them.

[upgarage]

get new avcr?

[drift 180sx]

How Much do the profec E,B cost and where could i get some infomation about them ?

[zeroyon]

Morgs,

I dont think you can go past the twin solinoid EBC's.

Having tried most the Blitz ID would be my favourite.

I also think the Profec B is a top unit too if you want a non screen cheaper range one.

Drift 180sx ... google is your friend !

[confuzion]

profec b is what i have used and am using again in this car, great ebc, easy to use and holds boost perfect

[B0BB0]

yeh, greenline.jp has em all on there, with a brief description

[Morgs]

Cheers for the replies
I think the BLITZ ID is a winner - but I do like the compactness of the SBC Spec R
Throw into the mix the value for money of the Profec
Anyone got a 3 sided coin?

morgs, anything with a wanky screen and more then a boost controlling function, DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.....

go out tommorow and buy a blitz dual sbc spec R, you will not regret it... all the wank in the blitz ID's, hks evc's, profec e-01s just means they fuck up easier... the more money doesnt mean the better the controller. trust a niggaahh!!

[zeroyon]

Disagree with you a bit there D1,

Having used an E-01. That has logging and playback. You can watch a lot more then your boost in a run.

Think about how much you pay for a gauge. The E-01 will read 6 inputs and output 3 at once.

Not only that on the playback you can then go and adjust your boost via rpm and speed to get the max out of your car.

It really does make a difference.

The Blitz id has simular functions but is more compact and has a better solinoid.

[WRCjosh]

thats all well and good simon, IF THEY ACTUALLY WORKED! ahha, my mate had one in his wrx, needless to say it shat itself, and he now has a 1000 dollar boost gauge.

ask BOBBO what he thinks of e-01s too

profec b specII
well priced dual solenoid loving

i recon half the shit are a waste of money. Depends on how hardcore u wanna go I guess, and how good u wanna look when some one pops their head into ur car. MMh half the shit on these controllers are meant for vtec and N/a luvers that think they need a computer for their invisable turbos. Thats just my opinion. Mmh I dont know any thing about accuracy tho and ,now no picking on me bc i dont know shit about cars. Im aloud to have an opinion. My mumma said so.

Do you actually have any idea about what your talking about, or just post stupid shit to increase your post count? Sigh.

yer thats right. But u really dont need half the shit on these computers, its a bit of a wank factor. Last car i looked at had a profec e controller and only about three things worked on it, bc u need a chip that goes with it, so the whole thing worked properly, thats wot the guy said.Alot of the stuff was wasnt needed.WASNT NEED. WASTE OF MONEY. U HEARD ME AS WELL.

You are so shit! And your mum's got a dick!

A boost controller for N/A and VTEC lovers? do u have ANY idea how stupid you come across? a computer for invisible turbos? man you are so shit i wish your two dads never gave birth to you!

[Morgs]

Keep it on topic or keep it in the bag :squint:

[rowlzey]

if u have any idea about this topic, u would know that the profec e controller have alot of options for engine management for n/a cars. For vtec and stuff like that. Alot of options in these computers are unuseful, and i think it is pretty hard to find manuals in english for the profec e controller. I was lookin at a 180sx that had a profec e controller in it and i couldnt find a english manual, so it was annoyin for me and the owner of the car to fully operate the controller(fitted by c-red without manual). All the basic stuff was easy, but from my what the owner said, dont bother with the profec e controllers, for wot he used it for, a basic controller could do just as good.

[1JZNOSHIT]

a logical and well thought out answer rowlzey, well done!

i had the unlucky fortune of buying a car with a Profec A BC, it sucked, impossible to work out how to use.....

[B0BB0]

rowlzey - when u buy a profec e it come with english instructions. and there are many places on the net where its availiable

i had a problem with mine, was solved by erasing all the memory are re-tuning it (so to speak). The controlling of the boost is excelent in these units. and all the other features that simmo said are also good. particularly the logging. i am extremely happy with mine.

only problem i see with them in a gtr is, if you want the do the old "key off, key on" you will only have standard boost till the e-01 loads up. this takes approx 20sec. sometime can be a inconvience.

the Profec b's are also good.

[rowlzey]

how much did u pay for ur profec e?? plus where abouts on the net can u find these english manuals??? I will tell my mate straight away..he hates the damm thing mainly bc he cannot figure wot half the shit does, but he payed a bit for it and for wot he uses it for, there are probally more suitable controllers. C-red couldnt even give him a manual for it. All jap manuals.

If your not chasing bling and would like something different and cost effective, I've heard great things about the Jaycar electronics EBC. It is able to be used with any solenoid. For $79.95, can't go wrong.

Here's a few details:

"Ref: High Performance Electronic Projects for Cars - Silicon Chip Publications.
Absolutely superb control over your turbo boost curve. It can be used in cars fitted with factory electronic boost control using the factory control solenoid, or cars without electronic boost control using a solenoid from a wrecker etc. It actually has two different completely programmable boost curves. This is ideal for switching between say, a race / street mode, or a performance / wet weather mode. Each boost map has 64 points able to be adjusted in 1% duty cycle increments. Boost curve selection is via a dashboard switch, and it is all programmed using the Handheld Digital Controller - KC-5386. Kit supplied with PCB, machined case, and all electronic components."

profec A, simple and does the job very good :)

but no fancy stuff, just set boost and away u go :) (cheap too :p)

[upgarage]

profec a is shit

[180 sx]

A Handheld digital Controller is needed. Who would have one of these controllers so i could program it? Im guessing c-red would install it for a good price, or psi performance?

[Syncope]

Blitz DSBC, what do you think of them as a cheap ebc solution?

[WRCjosh]

best ones IMHO

[R32-GTR]

I have installed and driven cars with most sorts of EBC'S . A few come to mind as been easy to use and holding boost perfectly. 1. Blitz Spec R Dual SBC 2. Greddy Profec B.

List of worse EBC;s you could possibly buy. 1. Profec A 2. Apexi AVCR.

Also the Blitz Spec R is now really cheap off some of the jap websites. Used to be over 1k.

[Panda_ET]

I have had no probs with my Profec A...easy to use and holds boost great

[Morgs]

Finally got around to buying one; Blitz Spec R Dual SBC
Off Nengun at a good price, hopefully it can turn up before the end of month so I can get the thing tuned....

[Syncope]

Yep just got that one too.

Hope its as good as you guys say it is!

[R32-GTR]

Its the ducks fart :)

[Morgs]
