Eboost2 ftw !!!

Gate pressure settings, sensitivity settings, 6 preset boost, lauch control, boost and rev recall, boost gauge and controller in 1, looks neat and a ease 2 fit and use.

over boost shut down, warning lights and sounds when reaching high boost.

Haha u would think i work for turbosmart >_<

2 months ago i had a power fc fitted and wanted a suitable boost controller to suit... i settled with the avcr.. had my ash tray removed and fitted it there... ive never been happier with a boost controller... it is expensive but that little blue screen tells me what i need to know and can change between 3 boost settings in about 3 seconds! took a while to get used to but hell its great! and once learnt easy to use. has functions that i dont even use but if i ever get real serious there there for future use! if u have a apexi power fc i say go with the avcr. installation was relitively simple and the electronic valve sits near my filters.

good luck!!

I was thinking apexi soinoid plug as i have a power fc but i want funtions like scramble and graghs. peak settings ect. thinking of Blitz SBC 3. Has anyone used this type, how do they rate ?

I've got a Blitz SBC I-Colour and it's a pretty handy little unit.

Tons of functions and i've never had a problem with it.

Oh finding an english manual was the hard part but not cause i was installing it just for my use afterwards.

a bit of a side step but im using a VAFC as a boost guage for my car

it displays like the AVCR in guage and digital and digital tacho emulation format

but it lets you choose between the scale and measurment

i can choose between 0 to 15psi or 15psi to 30psi

and lets me choose PSI, MMHG/KGCM2 and KPA

Had a Profec B Spec 2, loved the ease of use, but hated the lack of full functionality and not being able to set psi boost that it would actively try to reach. Just bought an AVCR yet to see it in action, but sure it will meet my expectations.

You want something with a Dual Solenoid.

Single solenoid items are harder to setup, and at times do not perform as well as a dual.

A AVC-R is a single... Blitz, HKS etc are duals.

Often dual are more expensive, but you get what you pay for in that regard

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
