Hey Trent, thankyou for the reply. Looks like ill be buying the blitz EBC; thankgod i read your thread cos i was just about to order the powerfc kit for like 500bux.

I'm not sure why you need to buy either the SBC ID III or the power FC BCK? The HKS EVC III you have now already has gain adjustment. why not just use that? The whole point of this thread was not blitz is better than everything else, just that going from manual bleed, or an EBC without gain adjustment to one with gain adjustment (like most current model EBCs) that there is some power and response to be had.

sure if you didn't already have something with gain adjustment then by all means run out and buy a blitz one, but the HKS EVC is very good to begin with. you might find very little if any gain by switching to the blitz ID III.

Just wondering if im on the right track here

EBC with gain control is probably more important for people running internal gate turbos?

I have a GT35 with the IW currently running a Turbosmart Manual bleed now starting to think the EBC will be a worthy investment

Thanks bb, I forgot to mention that i was after the power fc kit because it removes a module from the cabin for a more stock look.

The HKS EBC i have now is quite good but now after reading this thread i will live with the module but id like something a little more 'hip' from an asthetic point of view.

I know it sound stupid for me to be buying another EBC but im just updating my 'wardrobe' so to speak.

I played around with my gains and "start boost" function on the Profec last night, kept adjusting it higher until it started spiking over the set boost pressure and it definetely made an improvement in the midrange, just pulled a lot better through the gears and the boost was held a lot better up high instead of falling off a bit.

Any Blitz dual solenoid in my experience works the best (gain wise), i have plenty of graphs i could post up but i rate the boost controllers as follows;

1. BLITZ dual solenoid (type R, ID, IDIII or I-color) But i find the i-color is a bit too gadgety.

2. Gizzmo MSIBC (black with blue display) (awesome controller with closed loop boost control and cheap)

3. TRUST Profec b SPEC 2 (great controller, easy to set up)

Are you sure you mean the Spec 2 Profec? Thats the one with the digital display, I have had nothing but trouble with them. The Profec B with the 3 knobs I prefer.

    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
