Hey guys, I saw this boost controller on the Hikari website and a few others, yet i havent found any other info on them in regards to how they preform compared to the way more expensive Jap brands. FYI Hikari are sellin them for 320. Thats a fully electronic Dual stage boost controller that has in cabin control. Seems to good to be true. It also looks quite nice and looks like it would fit snug in the position of the ash tray (which is good as im not a smoker).

If anyone can shed any light on this product whether its reliable and how it preforms, etc, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I was told but am not 100%sure that they are like a electronic version of the turbosmart type 2 stage bleed valve setup, so they are not as accurate as controlling boost like good elec ones they just give you control in the cabin.

They are nothing like the TS twin stage they do run a micro processor

seen in two cars now work well but you need to have a map sensor of some type ..... like you need to tap into say the std dash map on r32/33 but on somthing like a s13 you'll need to hunt a map sensor down

I sent power digger an email.

Heres what i sent:

Hi

I wondering if you could supply me with as much info as u can on the Hybrid fully electronic boost controller. How does it work through the microprocessor? Is it like an AVCR, or not as indepth and efficient. Will it hold high boost levels, and will the boost levels spike due to it being a bleed valve type boost controller. Im very serious on buying one, just want more info before i make my decision.

Thanks

Dean

And heres his reply

thanks for your interest it has a micro built in and by sensing the boost signal the micro calculate the right boost amount

in other words it try to bring the boost up to preset level as soon as possible and soon after it reaches the preset boost it regulated it

never over shoot

beside it is not a bleed type valve it is a proper 9 bar solenoid valve that uses in many other Japanese boost controller

Thanks

Hi all,

I have installed the hybrid boost controller. I have to say it was the easiest ebc install(just three wires, the same three that run to the factory boost reciever in the engine bay) i have ever done!!

Very easy to tune, just set the dials for hi/low boost.

On the road it holds boost and at 20psi is only only slightly shaking the needle on the boost gauge (not more than half a psi either way.

As for brining boost on earlier I noticed a little differance

install 9/10

tunability 10/10

boost holding 8/10 (twin solonoid would have been better)

Appearance 4/10 (only one blue led and no screen as per avcr)

All in all not bad for $325 delivered

Hi There,

I also noticed the "powerdigger" at UAS (for $380).

Seems like a really good buy.

Quick question for those who have installed it.

- Does the car fill "jerky" when on full boost as some one mentioned that is was changing half a psi up and down (at 20 psi).

I am only planing to run 12 psi, will I notice it? How smooth is it under boost?

- when it comes to installing it, where is the "map sensor" or "boost sensoe" what ever it is called... I should have no problems installing it just need to find that boost sensor (for an R33 gts-t)

Thanks for your answers.

Regards

Rob

Hi Rob the car is not jerky when on boost, even though the boost needle is moving. When you get the intstructions it has a picture of the boost sensor and how to wire it all up. The boost sensor should be on the left hand side of the firewall. easy to spot if you know what your looking for.:)

If anyone else has installed one please write your comments, as I wonder if it is any differant on a smaller tubo, unlike mine which has a fair bit of lag.????

Ps go to hikari they are $325 delivered

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
