Electronic Boost Controller

[MrSkylineR33]

Hey Guys,

Im interested in getting an electronic boost controller

I went into AutoBarn and seen a brand called Gizmo

They were selling them for around $480.

Any know if their any good or crap.

Any suggestions on which electronic boost controller is recommended.

Nothing over $600.

Cheers

Isn't the Gizmo a RPM shift light and launch Ctrl thing?

or do they have new stuff out again.

Id advise you to even get one 2nd hand off the forums, than get one by the name of Gizmo

[DAN00H]

yeah - just get one of the tried and tested ones. I SK has been playing around with a Jaycar unit - cheap

Myself, I went for an SBC id III, see if you can get one S/H, or get into one of the group buys.

[MrSkylineR33]

I hear TRUST GReddy Profec B Spec II are pretty good

What are your thoughts on these boost controllers?

[Kaido_RR]

you can get a Apexi AVCR, for brand new for $600,

Hey, well the greddy profec spec b ii does the same job

Apexi may have more features but i dont care for features

As long as its reliable and does the same job im happy,

I got a quote around $400 for the greddy boost controller

What do u think.?

apexi one is good but, it isnt good unless setup right. I have heard only hood things about the profec ebc, i own a profec A and it works wonderful, i belived spec b, is daul sol and is very good

If you just want someting cheap and reliable why not go for a BLEED VALVE

almost guaranteed never to break down...works without eletricity too

[paulr33]

bleed valve is not exactly relibable. a cheap ebc will serve its purpose and be accurate. i got a 2nd hks evc for $250 and it works awesome, i had a problem with it last week but it was just loose wiring. does awesome boost control

[MrSkylineR33]

Hey, well bleed valves are risky and dangerous as ive heard from alot of people.

They generally spike and thats something i dont want to encounter and risk blowing my car up lol.

[siksII]

use the jaycar one

[thommo]

for something that needs to be reliable in it's performance such as a boost controller, i think you're best to go for a well known unit.

the jaycar boost control is fine if you have the time and knowhow to set it up, but if you're like me and just want something that you can get fitted and basically have no worries with go for AVCR or SBC idIII.

both can be found for around 570-630 new.

[32vspecII]

get the profec , or you can get a blitz ssbc for about 400 also .

i got a second hand old blitz ssbc off the forums , here . it didnt work . luckily the guy gave me back most of my money , got a 2nd one of the same type and replaced the faulty control unit . so it cost about 200$ all up and ive got some spares just incase .

I have some install pics and install instructions for an SBC iD III onto a GTR.

Very good unit and easy to use
