EBC choices

[Silver_r33]

Hey guys,

Just about to puchase an EBC but not exactly sure whats the go with all of them. HKS EVC, Blitz DSBC, Apexi AVCR, Trust Profec-B... My car's never going to run over 1.5 Bar, and i've got a feeling that all the flashy lights and cool displays will eventially become a little bit of a gimmic, so the Blitz is looking the option.

What i'd like to know is peoples experience with the different EBC's the troubles they've had (during install, useage, etc), reasonable limitations of the models, and if the flashy displays have had the novelty worn off after owning it for a while.

Thanks guys!

Have u had a look at Turbosmart? I have the E-Boost installed which also acts as a Boost Guage. You can have three boost settings and it is very compact and easy to set up. I had mine tuned within 5 minutes driving on the street, by just following the instructions. E-Boost can also be cheaper than some of the jap brands.

Ive a got a Blitz SBC iD II and it works great. 4 boost settings, auto learn mode, data logging, nice boost graphs ect. Also it easy to setup, no duty cycle crap.

profec-b easy....

[japtaxi]

another vote for profec b

easy to install, easy to use, even better when used with remote switch.

Same,another vote for the Profec B.

I've had a Blitz SBC-ID.

Holds boost up top as it learns the boost curve and duty cycle that must be set in order to achieve the boost setting you enter.

You can setup one of the 4 or so channels as a scramble channel that spikes up a little when you first punch it or change gear.

Thats the way I used to have mine set.

Manual mode that would make slightly more boost for the first second or so then the auto mode would take over from there.

greddy profec e-01.

works very well, auto boost could be better but manual mode is top notch.

i also hear the profec b is very good as well.

used to have profec E-01, now Blitz SBC-ID 2.

i assume profoec e-01 are same as profec B.

The blitz do control boost better, a lot better.

but i still love the e-01's BIG screen.

never heard bad stuff from HKS EVC too.

And not to forget the e-01's "Take it Easy" message on the screen as you turn it on.

hydrid stage 3.... haha even though i havent instal....

3 settings, low, high and overboost..self learn..all the specs of most the jap brands..

How much did that cost you fazt_r33?

[carl h]

i think that the greddy controlers are more suited to external gates as the auto boost funcion left something to be desired on my rb20.

i think its the fact that the turbo elbow and the internal gate surges too much for it get a clean baseline.

I heard HKS EVC 4 hold boost the best, but is pricey

im using a e-01 and it holds boosts beautifully

[dnb]

anyone using the microtech ebc?

[Cubes]

What boost are you holding? How much over stock?

Had an apexi avc-r... was easy to use and install but had a little boost spiking problem on 12psi plus settings.... Was a little slow to compute the spiking and tune it out...

Must get a dual sol... much better for holding boost...

Got a BLITZ SBC-i-D III now... yet to install... next week

Did all the research and it seem to be really good... Will let u know...

Plus its single din height and 1/2 din wide so it fits a treat under aftermarket single din headunit in a 33...
