I need a boost controller that can have two settings (hi / low).

I need the boost to come on later on low and earlier on hi. Is this possible or am I dreaming?

Why would you want it to come on later on low anyhow?

Won't save you petrol if thats what you are thinking.

The principle of saving petrol is not having to keep the accelerator on for long.That is cruise as much as possible at a steady high speed and avoid braking. So just get up to speed quick and coast in high gear. Revving slowly up to high rpm without the boost on won't help your cause as you are still using the same amount of energy to get up to the target speed.

The main advantage of accelerating slowly is that you may end up braking less because you don't get make it up to the target speed before you are already braking at the next lights.

Who cares about low boost controller setting - if you press the accelerator less; voila! lower boost is created.

i was thinkn bout apexi too, is it ne gewd?

They arnt bad. You can set the boost level by rpm, so have lowish boost at low rpm to help get off the line without too much wheelspin and then higher boost in the mid-high rpm. I use the blitz sbc type s and it works very well, combined with my external wastegate they hold boost dead flat across the rpm range.

also have d profec a.....

has 2 settings low/hi plus scramble boost

its like gettin instant boost..... set 2 a desire boost level n 4 a designated amount of time... so u can run low boost all day day n when need more boost just press d scramble boost button n whoilla

I agree with Edge, if you want to go faster you push the throttle pedal down some more.

Bringing boost on earlier by using a boost controller is impossible. If there is not enough exhaust gases to spin the turbine fast enough to make boost, then I don't care what boost controller you have, you ain't gunna get any boost.

The point at which the manifold pressure becomes positive is always the same regardless of what boost controller you have (or don't have). If you have a wastegate that opens a little earlier than its preset pressure, then a boost controller can help to keep it closed a little longer. This enables a slightly steeper increase to maximum boost, as no exhaust gas is escaping (bypassing) the turbine.

You don't need fancy electronic circuits and logic to achieve this. We have found this $125 system to be as effective as any;

I would use the saved money on other things that are much more effective in making the car go faster.

Hope that helps

    • 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.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
