If u hav the spare cash, Blitz i-color, first full color boost controller on the market, it has combined the Blitz Power ID with the Blitz SBC and given it a full color interface display unit...mind-blowing display, if u want something that holds boost well, GReddy Profec B Spec2 or Profec E-01. I've heard the turbosmart ones hold boost well too. The avc-r is not bad, but definitely not the best in holding boost. However, it's easy to use and pretty comprehensive.

BLITZ SBC I-D III

Best Value for Money IMO....

Probably the best on the market next to the New I- Colour but there is around a $500 Price Differance

SBC I-D III -- $ Around 600 Brand New

I-Colour -- $ Around 1K Brand New but has shitloads more Features....

Obviously almost everyone is going to recomend the EBC that they have in their own cars...so I'll do the same :(

I've got a GReddy Profec B Spec II and it does the job for me. It might not have all the snazzy displays of some other EBC's, but it does have most of the functionality that you'll ever need (3 boost settings, gain function, peak hold display, boost warning etc). And most importantly, it holds boost fairly constant through the rev range.

Good value for money :)

Thanks. I tried a search but it wasn't going to be quick...

38 Pages on EBC's :\

I'm leaning towards the boost controller kit for the PFC as it's cheap and has pretty much the same functionality as the AVC-R.

I might add the thing I liked about the Profec B II is the add-on feature you can get with that boost button thingo for the steering wheels :)

I'm going to be using the Turbosmart E-Boost 2 - Apparently, features +++ and controls the extarnal gates NO Problem... So, reviews and peoples experience will be the determining factor I think.... Good Luck in choosing... there is heaps out there.

I second the Jaycar. Its the cheapest and the best.

Make sure you get one that uses the solenoid to completely block off the air flow to the actuator, they work the best in terms of reducing wastegate creep to the lowest possible.

At the moment I have one of those Turbosmart bleed valves..

Would it be an advantage if I got myself an Electronic type boost controller?

If so which would be most suitable Apexi AVC-R, Greddy Profec B II?

I have an Apexi PFC so I was thinking the Apexi AVC-R..

Depends on how much boost you eventually want to run. Above about 1.2 bar you probably should go for a dual solenoid setup - in which case I would recommend the Blitz ID III.

Below that a single solenoid Blitz or an Apexi will do a good job.

Best prices are either from Nengun or Greenline etc.

Gentalman i have an E boost 2 fitted to my r33 with small mods

ok let me say when it was installed it was set too high and i did not like it

but an e mail to turbo smart and no s$% i had a phone call less than 5mins later asking wat was wrong

he told me how to set it

now it is the BEST thing i own, no really it is a boost gauge as well

i can do minor adjustment from my cabin and it holds boost well,

very well + dont need to spend $$$$$ on gauge and they are AUSTRALIAN THEY ARE THE BEST END OF STORY

mine cost me $915 installed but i dont think its needs a dyno straight away it has a 1 to 100 setting 30 is 10psi 40 is 14 psi and so on but only on the 40 psi model.

I am on 30 now 10psi but i can stress enough without taking you for a wrap how user friendly they are

ps i dont work for turbo smart but when you find a good product you tell everyone i think + we should have a thread about good mods so we all no wat is good to buy

How much for the Eboost and how much for a jaycar kit?

I just paid $745 (E-Boost 2)and I'll be doing a self install. So, we'll see how it goes... The Jaycar kit, all up plus an hour or 2 of your time cost about <$150 - although, does it have a "BLING" display like the E-Boost (2)?? :angry:

Also, you'll need a boost gauge and that can be anywhere from $80-$$$$$.

    • I might have to say it.
    • Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...
    • I remembered wrong, but was close though 1Kz setting because those Jaycar SSRs don't go any faster, 1x pump per SSR with flyback diodes & heatsinks. In saying that, the heatsinks are overkill. Just on an alloy plate is more than sufficient. You'll find without a flyback diode, your SSRs will heat up big time and also die prematurely.  I've been running the two same SSRs since the last motor, no issues, car does 2 hour straight drives in summer once in a while and gets punished on the track. Nothing melts, no hot messes, etc.    
    • Hmm. You're probably best off working out what the lobe centreline or even the LSA is for the stock cams, with VCT OFF. That's bound to be out there somewhere. Then, work on the assumption that the Kelford centreline is probably the same, and wouldn't be more than a couple of degrees away, if it is different at all. I'm very surprised that you needed to adjust the exhaust cam by 5° to get it on spec. That screams there's another problem somewhere. Anything from the belt being 1 tooth off (how many degrees is one tooth worth?) to simple user/measurement error on the degree wheel. I say this because Kelford, like most quality cam manufacturers these days, does a pretty good job of actually making the cams to spec, not relying on patching it up afterwards like we had to do back in the 80s.
    • Besides packing it, you can also fill your pump through the oil filter inlet port. After cranking for what felt like an eternity without pressure, i fed a tube in through there and filled it with oil. Cranked for a few seconds after that and had pressure.
