HKS EVC 5 is by far of the best performing EBC out in the market today..

But it is also one of the most expensive on the market..

Profec B spec 2 is awesome but it a nightmare for someone to setup if they not used on those them before..

I have personally always used profec B but after all my mates moved to HKS EVC 5.. I am looking to buy 1 myself in the next few weeks..

yeah it is rather expensive but cheaper than the blitz i-colour, such a hard choice, a mate of mine has blitz sbc id-3 and says its great, im heading that way.. cheers

I use a AVC-R there prone to over boosting when the weather is very cold.. Not such a bad thing but personaly the price you spend on a decent boost controler could go

into getting yourself a decent computer system so you dont need to run AFM's and that can run the boost from inside the car via a Digital pannel.

about 2200 for a really good system Mark at Godzilla was talking about them the other day. Personaly i know ill be changing to it when i get my next GTR

PS: I love this pic :P got to put it in my post lol

I got the acvr and i find it anoying. I want to set the max boost my car will run and leave it at that not have to bother with duty cycles and crap like that.

Stupid thing should figure that all out by its self

Dislike the boost controller kit on the PFC, my car always runs under the boost level.

It's been set to 1.10kg/cm2 but I usually only hit 0.95kg/cm2. Once in a while it will boost over 1.00kg/cm2 and only once I've hit 1.09kg/cm2 (closest to 1.10kg/cm2 ever)!

Going to be changing to Blitz SBC i-D III in future.

Sorry to hi-jack this thread but does anyone know where a good place is to place the PM and SBC without getting a defect as well as causing attention to be stolen, yet still for you to see?

^^^ over ten years old and not real stable.

spec-r for the best value for money. The dual solenoid controllers from BLITZ are unrivalled for boost control, the amount of features on the i-color is cool but i never use them so i dont bother with them. Spec-r or IDIII... cant go wrong.

trent what's the difference between the Blitz SBC spec S and the Spec R? is the spec S not Dual solenoid? spec S any good.

edit: got off my arse and checked for myself! I was right. Spec R is dual solenoid, Spec S is single.

Hi guys.

I'm also in the market for an EBC & I've narrowed my choices down to a Blitz SBC ID3 or a HKS EVC5.

1 thing I want to be able to do is hide the boost module in the engine bay if I can (cops in Adelaide are pricks & will defect you for it). I saw 1 Blitz boost module once & it was huge, but I'm unsure if it was for an ID3. From what I've seen the HKS Boost module is far more compact (& possibly lighter), which has me swinging towards it a bit.

Performance wise, I'm yet to see/hear of anyone doing a direct comparision between the 2 or having experience with both, so any information would be greatly appreciated.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
