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).

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
