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

      it takes so long to get things done but ... they are nearly there and we hitting the track soon again  So - at Perth Festival of Speed the car unfortunately had a decent off, wasnt me driving, wasnt the person drivings fault. Long story short car got sent very fast towards the wall without the control on throttle from the driver input and a disaster was averted but there was damage that needed to be fixed - carbon busted and alot of bent bits The splitter got munched and had to go back to get fixed - took a bit to get it there, fixed and back but got a surprise package when a new double element higher DF splitter came back - nice surprise !  and first person to have one     At a car show I took the car too some punks stole one of my carbon indicator blanks and stomped on the other so had to get a new set of headlight / indicator combo from tops stage so got front fender vents as well to put in the order     While all this was happening the new MCA golds turned up and did some fiddling around with those   Put in the flappy paddle system and clutch lockout wiring/ system   We have also put shorter gearing in top top it out at 300 kmph in 6th gear  where previously I held 5th to 282 at SMP and 277 in Perth   Looking for better control and faster acceleration     I wasnt intending on doing pedal box I was managing with the brake master replacement system I had going on and adjusted std pedals but on applying the clutch switch to the old system we found the *insert technical word here * bar that goes from the pedal to the master was bent about 40 deg and about to snap = lucky find otherwise be a bad bad time - discussion was had about getting a custom bar built to withstand the load but in reality it was time      making any suspension, wheel or anything adjustments to date has been a nightmare - aero off, adjust, check and repeat - time consuming and hard - short of going full airjack system we fashioned some external manual car lifts this will make life a million times easier     All the bent framing, some intercooler pipes and other has been fixed and replaced and after 6 months I finally have the car back at home in my control so its get to work on it, set ride heights, wheel align and will start track testing again soon   So ultimately other than a few flashy bits nothing actually looks likes its been done but in reality alot has. Typical   We'll see how all this goes
