Boost Controllers.

[Viper_r32]

Edd at Integra just quoted me $600 for an AVC-R pluss $240 to fit it wile i get all my other turbo work done.

what do you think? is it worth going for an AVC-R?

The price is pretty good if you don't need to worry about organsing to buy it, you can get it cheaper elsewhere depends on how quickly you want it. $240 seems okish for an install hope that also includes them configuring it as well ???

---Updated---

Nengun = AU $ 503.36 + shipping = $546.30

Greenline = AU 503.735 + Shipping = ???

But keep in mind that these ones you may also have to pay import tax etc so i would actually buy it from him unless you want to get one second hand.

Also depends on if you are going to buy another ecu later. If you are then an AVCR is probably overkill. It does some of the simple things that an AM ecu does.

If you can get a boost controller for sub $400, then you are wasting $200? but if you don't intend getting an ecu for a while then the AVCR is a good cheaper compromise.

I was told the PowerFC boost controller plug in was not soo good.

I'd love for someone to actually show me some funky stuff with the AVCR when i do my high-flo upgrade.

The standard ECU will remain in place, I doubt it will ever be replaced. But it is being retuned by CEF11E once the turbo is finished being high flowed. I’m also getting a bigger fuel pump put in. so I think I should be pretty happy with the final product. Edd at Integra tells me the turbo should have no problems doing 220+ rwkw. But as far as I know I will probably need bigger injectors. As I think the standard RB20 items will only flow enough for around 200rwkw

I wasn't saying not to buy a boost controller. The pfc one is OK, but basic, you would better with a dedicated evc no arguments from me there. What I was saying is that an AVCR is a boost controller plus a boost response controller. This is also done and done much better by a pfc.

If you aren't getting a pfc then its no problem = spend an extra $200 and get the AVCR.

If your plans include a pfc then get a $400 boost controller and put the $200 you save towards your pfc.

re: spiking?

My understanding from the manual, is that once you start to spike you need to work on Solenoid duty timing and the like.

Of course this requires more work and testing, but i plan to let people far more knowledgable than i tune the bejesus out of it at the time.

I-Colour - very nice. Haven't read all this thread but I just had one fitted and I think it's the "ants pants". Yeah it has heaps of functionality and 4 boost settings which may well be deemed overkill. However, I like it 12, 15, 18 and 22 psi. It's going to be nice to go to the track and just select channel 3 (18psi) 300 awkws, boast or boost

It's extremely precise and very easy to use, configure/set. Gets my vote also for the amount of info that is displayed.
