ok ive recently purchased my power fc d-jetro for my 33 gtr and i want to get a new boost controller as the hks one i have now is old and i got no idea how to use it.

i was planning on getting an E-Boost 2 as i have an eboost in my gtst and is realy easy to use and seems to do the job quite well

when talking to my mechanic just before he told me that i should just get the power fc boost control kit so everything is run easy through the power fc

how easy are these things to use? (how do u change between settings?)

how many different boost settings can it run?

Are they any good? (holding boost etc)

As im chasing for sumwhere near the 500hp+ range i want to make sure that im not going to have any problems with it and end up wishing that i bought sumthing else

i prepared to pay for an eboost as i dont realy see it as that much and as for reliability, i have 1 in my gtst and have no complaints about it, they are very good

im just trying to gauge more info on the apexi kit

id rather have bird flu or blowtorch my nipples than buy an eboost again, not specifically that mine broke within a week of installing it or that turbosmarts customer care when it came time for a warranty was long and rude...so long in fact i sold my car before i recieved it back and they forgot my wiring loom.

im going to go take a valium now

I had the PFC boost control kit on my old R33 GTS-T. It held boost perfectly and I never had any problems. I also liked how it worked through the PFC commander so I didn't have another control unit on/around my dash.

I now use an AVCR which is just as good but now have the control unit on my dash which I think looks ugly.

The AVCR uses exactly the same control solenoid.

The boost kit can generally be setup well'ish, it just takes some playing around.

The fact it uses the same solenoid as the AVCR is not as important as you might think. From eye, it looks very similar to the unit used on the E-Boost (which, how ever overpriced i think it is, IS a good unit when setup correctly) The solenoid itself is a "tool" if you will. Its effectiveness is up to the person wielding it (that 'person' being the microprocessor in this case)

If you do hock ~$600 on an EBC btw, I'm heavily biased here... but you cant beat the Blitz DBC... along with the Jaycar controller (requires tinker time)

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
