Apexi Boost Control With Powerfc Or Avc-r?

[Skyline1989]

Hey Guys/Girls,

I'm currently in the market for an EBC...

Just wondering what setup would be better?

tossing up between either the Apexi Boost control kit for PowerFC "OR" the AVC-r

[GreeceS13]

Avc-r is better and you will have another pretty screen in your car.

The price difference in the price between the kit and the avc-r isn't big!!!

I had an solenoid and a map sensor for avc-r and I made a hand-made harness for the pfc so it is worth!! And also I hate many gauges and screens in my car.

[nxtplz]

i definately recommend the avc'r as the apexi boost controller kits are useless and unreliable

[PsYLoR]

What the? The AVC'R is Apexi and uses the same solenoid as the Power FC Boost Kit.......

So how did you come to that conclusion?

[R31Nismoid]

you get some extra functionality with the AVC-R

but other than that, its the same.

Uses the same parts

[Ultimategtr]

I love the Selective gear boost feature on the AVC-R - allows you to set differnt levels of boost in different gears.

[Skyline1989]

I think i may choose the AVC-r path...

Any recommended places for the AVC-r unit? looked at Access Auto Works, but i only really want to pay around the $500 marker

Would second hand be a good option?

[abu]

Usually a few second hand ones floating around from $400 - $500

[paulr33]

same logic, same code, same solenoid, same map sensor, same functional control

the avcr has option of

-gear based boost control

the powerfc boost control kit has option of

-boost correction based on intake temp

-boost overrun protection (fuel cut on the ecu if boost spikes 0.25kgcm2 past target boost)

-boost display on hand controller

-boost displayed in logs with datalogit

[Bliksem]

-boost correction based on intake temp

-boost overrun protection (fuel cut on the ecu if boost spikes 0.25kgcm2 past target boost)

Yup, its these reasons that made me go with the PFC over AVCR boost controller for my car...

Hrrmm... very useful info paulr33... may reconsider

Anywhere cheap? for either items prefferably new

[Chi100188]

Cheers

i have an avc-r in mine. no complaints.

[GreeceS13]

Avc-r also have rpm boost adjust.

But I like more the pfc boost control for the reasons the rest said.

Also nowdays avc-r are very very expensive...

[Evil]

i have an avcr and it's been rock solid...

[EVL-R33]

I'm also in the market to get a new EBC, so far I got the AVCR and PFC addon Boost controllers in mind...

-boost overrun protection (fuel cut on the ecu if boost spikes 0.25kgcm2 past target boost)

-boost display on hand controller

If the PFC boost controller is so good, then why would you be getting boost spikes?

Also, this concerns me, because i got rid of my stock AFM and got a PFC to remove the fuel cut, I wouldnt wanna be getting fuel cuts again...

can anyone compare these two boost controllers with the greddy provec b spec 2 boost controller?? how do they compare??

get the profec B II mate. easier to set-up, plus you have a dedicated display which shows the peak boost reached during each burst of acceleration which is very handy when you are tuning the thing. they are easy to install, light and easy to read.

[rtune]

if this is a topic about boost controllers, what is the downside of the HKS EVC V or VI, if any?

thats what i have been told also, and they're at a pretty good price aswell, and my tuner recommended it too.. thanks mate
