Hi ppl,

Just hunting round for a decent electronic boost controller and at the same time not spend too much.

I was looking at the Greddy Profec B-Spec II and the Turbosmart E-Boost 2 ones. Bit pricey but hoping to maybe find S/H.

Just want to know from peoples experience which has been good for them etc.

Cheers!

hey Pulp,

I've got an Greddy Profec -A, althou its not the one your looking at, i find it to be top, holds boost perfect and very easy to tune.

so going by that i would say the Profec B would be very similar.

Just had a quick look for Profec B and looks like the range from $300 to $500, if you cant get one for cheaper than $400 you might aswell go something like blitz ID-3

I know it's a bit off, but personally, i'm a Apexi fan. So it's the AVC-R. There's a reason why Apexi has not upgraded the AVC-R since it's launch, cause it just works so well. There is not much of a need to upgrade it. Some pple said that the AVC-R's solenoid is a perfect replacement for a skyline, which i think is just biasedness again, and should be bullshit. LoL.

My .5 cents worth. Again, remember. I'm a apexi fan. LOL

Thanks guys!

EVL, I'll check out the Profec -A, sounds ok.

KeeFy, yeah I like the Apexi gear too, am def getting an SAFCII and wanted an e-boost controller as well, but I think the AVC-R is pretty pricey compared.

I'll see what I find!

Doesn't really matter I spose Dan, is it better to buy through Nengun?

Although been speaking to Lumpy at Hyperdrive and he said cause my trans is Auto, to get the HP I want I'd have to go either PFC or a Greddy E-Manage kit. The SAFC combination wouldn't control or handle timing well etc.

The PFC would cost me more cause it takes more to tune with auto. So the E-manage kit would be a slightly cheaper and better option as it can be piggy backed.

pfc Does not work with auto nissans.

already been down this path.  I ended up getting  the emanage ultimate and profec e 01.

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing hey!

Did you do anything to the trans anyway? like any mods etc, or did it handle it fine?

no mods to gearbox as yet. will be getting shift kit form mv automatics though. PFC just will not work with the shift logic of the skyline gbox. I would have prefered pfc, but atleast you can hook emanage up to laptop and tune it yourself.

yeah i thinking of getting an electronic boost contoler looking for second hand APEXI AVCR i think they seem to be able to do the most rather than just plain two boost setting and thats it. Mines also auto buy yeah its a r32 so different to you guys.

Mad34 let me know when you get the shift kit from MV i was gona get one too and a trans cooler maybe cheaper to get together even if they are different

Hmm I've known a few people with AVCRs and even though they look nice, they've all had dramas. Not holding boost, too tricky to use etc etc. One of them switched to a Greddy Profec B Spec II and said it was awesome. Controlled boost a lot better.

But I do admit the AVCRs look sweet :)

E boost 2 are the best no spiking + you get a boost gauge with it

they are australian and the after sales is exerlent

i have one and was unhappy with it so i e mailed turbosmart and 30seconds no shit i had a phone call asking wat was wrong

they promtly told me how to use it my self now i agust it and my car is running very good

i have set it so good i hav the best power band and wen i get an e management i will play around with it again

james

theres a new blitz i-color or something with the slick colour screen and more logging/display options . the id3 has a mono screen and still has some pretty good monitoring/logging options

the duty cycle/boost curve learning thing can be tough to setup but its great when its working . the blitz can be set to manual if you want to go old school

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
