Hi all,

Ill be using a Haltech E11v2 with my new engine and im trying to decide what boost controller to run.

Profec B: Haltech Boost controller:

Pro: Cheaper Pro: Wont need to install myself

Pro: Can control from in the car Pro: Integrated with E11v2

What are your thoughts?

I reckon it depends on price. If the Haltech boost controller costs as much as the PFC boost controller, then I think you should just go for the Profec B.

No harm having a separate unit/ readout, and I dont see any major benefit to having the Haltech unit.

There is a major benifit to using the haltech one over the profec B.

Working with the e11v2 ECU, you can adjust different boost levels for each gear (i.e. 1st -18psi, 2nd -22psi, 3rd - 24psi, etc.....)

Profec B can't do that. Plus the haltech is cheaper, $125

See below:

I had and e11v2 and haltech boost control in my previous GTR. It was excellent! Launch control tied in with lower boost off the mark and higher boost through 2nd. and 3rd, etc....

I'm not knocking the profec, everyone knows it does its job well. I am just stating if you have a e11v2 then go the haltech boost controller.

Ive had the Profec B before but the solinoid was damaged in an accident. It is a great unit.

But at $125 the Haltech will be the go think.

ive got a spare solenoid you can have. the reason im not a fan of the PFC and haltec boost controllers is the have no gain control. With gain control you can ramp the boost way harder i will post some graphs up later of a PFC boost controller versus the most basic EBC with gain controll and you will see as must as 10-20rwkw more throught the mid...

to me this added mid is free horsepower and makes a world of differrence to seat of pants driving.

Bugger Trent i have already binned the Profec controller.Ah well.

I see what you mean with the gain control, it will be a couple of weeks before i finally get one so ill factor that in.

I have a haltech e11v2 and im going the trim controller instead of an AVCR mainly due to cost. I ran it on my VL Turbo and it was great and still going great guns, 21psi no problems.

Read the options available on the trim controller and its pretty impressive. If you have a tuner who knows what they are doing it will be great tool to have.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
