Gday all

I am looking at getting a ebc in a couple of weeks and not to sure which model/brand to get. I dont want any thing to over the top, just something that will hold boost

with out any spiking or drop off.

Can you just get a one setting ebc or are they all 2 stage?

What is every one using and do you have any problems eg spiking with them?

Cheers

Well I can't say which is the best because i haven't tried them all but the Jaycar EIBC works perfectly for me and is cheap for an electronic boost controller. It has precise control and you can build boost as fast as you want and hold boost at your chosen setting for as long as your turbo can make it. It has two settings but I only need one setting so i have put the same map on both settings in case someone switches over to the other one. The only drawback is that it comes in a kit form but you may be able to buy one already assembled. There is a comprehensive thread in the DUY section.

+1 for the IEBC, but without the spelling errors :)

i'm also running the Jaycar IEBC in my stagea, works really well and hold boost perfectly, after about a week of street tuning i had is sitting where i wanted it. i brought one that was already assembled and i just had to wire it in so i cant comment on how easy/hard the assembly is. i went for the IEBC because it was like 1/6th the price of anything from japan at the time, and works with the stock boost solenoid just to keep things covert.

and i did run a Greddy Profec B Spec-II in my 32, it also performed more than well enough for what my setup was. i think it comes down to your budget, any of the good name brand boost controllers eg Greddy/HKS/Blitz are good, and i dont think you will notice any difference between them on a street driven/setup car.

+2 on the GReddy Profec B spec II. I'd heard nothing but good things about them, and since having one put on my car I have to agree that it's very stable. With a bit of fine-tuning of the PFC on my car, I get almost the same amount of power on 7psi (low boost) as I used to get before the EBC install when it was on 10psi. On high boost now (10psi), I have about 18kW more than before the EBC was installed.

The best thing is that I have the same power as before (or more on high boost), but with a much more progressive boost curve and more torque accross the whole rev range.

also one more for the profec, its smaller front makes it easier to put in a position you cant see from outside the car. ie, theives dont see it. the id3 has a largish LCD and can be quite visible from the outside unless you hide it

      Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.

      Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
