Thing is nath, with the AVC-R .. You're going to have to know how to set it otherwise all those options will just stay as your tuner sets them.. while there are all those options, how often are you going to play with them? Most of the reviews of comparitive boost controllers (i think it was autospeed), put the Profec in pretty much the same bracket as the AVC-R - even if does have all that other finer adjustments the final result comes down to pretty much the same.

i mean you, me, everybody can adjust your S-AFC at anytime but how often do you do it unless we know what we are really doing? How often do i adjust my actual boost in the car? not at all.. because that can only lead to detonation probs if i **** it up :P

Just get the PowerFC and track down the boost solonoid (which is same as AVC-R anyway).. it will be pretty much offer the same complete package as the AVC-R + PowerFC anyway, you just don't have another bit of rice in your car.. Instead of a separate AVC-R control panel, you just use the PFC h/c to set the same settings..

You save money, and don't forget the stealth aspect as well for hiding all your power mods away.

You too denham :)

So inasnt....

did you get your new or is it second hand ?

Cause if it's second hand... $1300 vs $1460 odd brand new... i know which i'll get.

And AVC-R... i can get one for $500 (new model) so therefore i can fiddle with it myself ? is it worth the extra $150 or so.

you do get the solenoid that way and i can leave the hand controller at home if i'm not tuning (correct?)

Or won't i even need a hand controller then ?

god i rabble on sometimes.

the AVC-R allows gear based boost settings, I don't think the PowerFC add on EBC lets you do this?

If you're after replacement ECU, have you thought about the Wolf3D v4? The 200SX list has a few guys using it.

I think it too is a swap-in, swap-out ECU with just one or two sensors needing to be installed??? (Sorry to be vague, but that's all I have heard about it).

      Ball bearing turbos

      The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.

      Ball bearing turbos

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
