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).

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
