Alot Of Questions Regarding R34

[Fujiwara]

Just wondering if the Apexi PFC for the R34 GTT is still available...

Tried searching on the forums and found out it's been discontinued...DAMN!

Also, are these a full replacement ecu or a piggyback?

Can this control boost or will i need a boost controller like the AVCR to controll it?

And what is the point of a hand controller?

I'm not a tech head when it comes to cars so i don't know what i would be doing with the controller.

I'm tossing between the AVCR or the Blitz SBC id III

Any issues with these controllers?

Hoping i can make it a 3 port solenoid thingy... <-- if that makes sense

Also, my car doesn't have the RB25DET Neo Rocker cover for the engine.

How much will it cost for me to find and install one?

With my old car (WRX) we had issues with the AFM when we had an oil based pod filter installed on our cars.

It killed the AFM. Any such issues with the R34? And i can't seem to find any info on which POD gives the best results or the like. Maybe my search isn't that great. And are there any Cold Air intake options for the car or is there no point?

Some people seem to still be running their stock airbox/filter.

Please advise - i know that there are going to be differing opinions. But i am a noob and i would like to know.

And how good is the stock BOV? how much boost can it handle?

AND LASTLY, is Earls a recognised brand? Whats the country of manufacture? I think i've heard of it but not so sure. Because i have an earls oil cooler but i dunno if it is a relocation kit as well. Trying to find info...It's also painted blue.

Thanks guys,

Hope to meet up soon

Pretty sure PFCs are still available for the ER34.

I have had both the AVC-R and the Blitz ID3.

The Blitz ID3 is better by a country mile ! I hated the AVC-R. Besides dual solenoids gotta be better than single solenoid !!

For boost controllers the new HKS EVC is up there as well, im considering changing to it to try it out later on.

Stock bov is good as long as you keep the stock piping. No need to change.

NEO cover aint expensive and it is only a matter of 4 bolts to "install" I THINK I have mine lying around somewhere if I can find it and the bolts its yours.

Earls are a pretty reputable brand, im pretty sure most workshops use them for their braided lines and connectors, valves etc.

So which Boost controllers have 3 solenoids? Or can i just buy a boost controller and buy the solenoid seperately?

And i already have a am radiator, GReddy FMIC...so i guess i may need a new BOV if i up the boost...

And is your cover in good nick? How much you chasing for the bolts and cover?

Even if you have a greddy fmic as long as you have kept the stock cross over pipe that the stock bov is attached to, there is no real need to change it.

I went through that phase, I had a GFB and a Type RS in the end I changed it to back to the stock one.

I currently have a Type R because I went for a high mount turbo and could not keep the standard piping or the bov.

I kind of mucked around with the cover and I painted it myself, haha yeah I got bored. The condition aint too bad, but like I said its yours if I can find it, meaning you can have it. Im not about to haggle or chase after someone for $20 or so.

PM me if your interested. When I go back to my parents house next week Ill have a look for it and get back to you.

Also in regards to the Neo cover you dont REALLY need it.

I took mine off ages ago and removed the brackets holding it as well. Weight reduction !!!

Here is an old pic of it on the car.

shonen - wot front bar is that on ur 34?

As for the NEO cover - it may have been removed due to the FMIC piping on the top if ur running a FMIC. If not and u r after the cover, i have a S2 R34 one sitting on my shelf. Pm me if ur keen.

what the modified rb26 ones?

[Boss-zilla]

You can still get PFC for the gtt, they are on ebay from a company in melbourne (vermont) called Access Autoworks.

[BaysideBlue]

Stock bov is good as long as you keep the stock piping. No need to change.

but good up to how much boost? 20psi or something?

[shonen]

Id say the stock turbo will die before the stock bov does.

Its a C West front bar.

Dont have it anymore though....

[R31Nismoid]

No.

The ones for a ER34

Have a search around, seems you might well be behind the times and taking some incorrect info onboard

[Abo Bob]

I run about 19-20 psi with stock bov. Works fine.

[BaysideBlue]

I run about 19-20 psi with stock bov. Works fine.

anyone know its limit? is it different to r33's stock bov?

[Bass Junky]

I run 1.1 bar and it's not a problem for me.

Ahh...didn't know that...

What's a S2 cover? Series 2?

Does it look any different?

Yes Series 2 R34. They have some minor differences to the S1, has more torque i believe, tacho n speedo n gauges is silver, NEO cover is completely silver no red writing, looks better IMO but mine's off anyway.
