RS4s-Htown

<br /><br /><br />thanks the recommendation Yts (and GTscotT) - i placed order for the Blitz (just gotta wait 3-4weeks now) - also - appreciate other comments as well (im probably a little guilty of ebc 'w@nk factor' - but figure its a necessary mod when I eventually take things further - ie 'stage 2' stuff) see ya

<br /><br /><br />Im in Hamilton - i totally see that current set up isnt really crying out for EBC - but within 2 years - i will be looking at GT3071 or GT3076 turbo and supporting mods etc - plus I dont currently have any form of boost gauge etc - and the wife doesnt really want extra dials etc on dash - so figured that cos I eventually will definitely need EBC soonish - might as well get one now and then at least have boost gauge etc. As for dumping fuel and performing like crap - prior to fitting big bore exhaust/front pipe - my cars boost peaked at 8psi and decreased to 6.5 at top end - with the air/fuel ratio being pretty rich at 10.5:1 (power was 143awkw) - after exhaust - boost increased about 2psi - peaking at 10psi and dropping off to 8psi at top end. Contrary to what you report - my car felt way better (especially at the top end) with the exhaust mods and increased boost - power went to 167awkw. and for the air/fuel ratio - the trace from the pre/post exhaust mods were superimposable - hence no sign of excessive fuel dumping with the increased boost. This is consistent with what I read somewhere on these forums that air/fuel ratios stay pretty much OK up to around 12 or 14psi (cant remember) - im aware the cars are limited to 14psi - but id never run that anyway - look to run 12psi max. hoping getting the boost up to 12psi from 3000-3500 will give alot more mid range punch - as its currently only running 8psi in that region. I realise that there is no substitute for tunable ecu/piggy back etc - however im hoping that the factory computer with it rich maps courtesy of mr Nissan will still be OK at 11-12psi see ya

Hello, just looking at placing order for EBC for my stagea (S2 RS4s) - only mods are HKS 3inch front pipe, superdrager catback exhaust (and cat removed) and R34 GTT brakes fitted. Anyway, was set to get gizzmo MS-IBC (NZ$400) but someone on SDU forum suggested Blitz D-SBC - here in NZ, the spec S (single solenoid) is only $528 - and altho single solenoid has same controller as the dual solenoid spec R unit. anyway - general consensus seems to be that blitz ebc's are good - but just wondering whether this 'reputation' extends to the entry level spec S unit - or do people feel the gizzmo MS-IBC represent better bang for buck at $400 (NZD)? or for the sake of $200 is it best to just get the dual solenoid (currently I have stock turbo and when I get stealth FMIC , im wanting to run 12 psi) thanks very much
