yeah any boost controller should be able to do that though, without a tune, user simply dials in pressure and thats it, some require duty to be set but it shouldnt any more complicated. there were always stories of the avc-r spiking lots and running unstable boost. if this is not the case with yours then its all good

Thats the thing Paul... A lot of the ebc's won't hold boost to redline IF the turbo is running near its limit. The EBC MUST be able to learn the duty cycle requried in order to hold the boost you dial in.

I used to run a Blitz SBC-iD EBC, it had the usual manual setup which uses a fixed duty cycle and gain. Then there was the auto where it used a fixed gain but would learn the duty cycle required through the whole rpm in order to hold say 15psi.

The Blitz SBC-iD has a little picture of the dual solanoid and what its doing, half open fully open or closed etc.

As RPM increased you could see the solanoid go from almost all the way open at peak torque then from then on it would slowly close holding the dialed in boost all the way to redline.

Selecting manual mode and dialing in a fixed duty and gain which is the basis of how the majority of EBC's (HKS, the lower spec Blitz items and a few others) work boost would tail off at high rpm. Run a big turbo that won't have flow issues on your motor on you don't need such an ebc, the manual types will do just fine.

My Blitz SBC-iD in auto mode did have a few issues with spiking as the AVCR also has IF not setup correctly.

It has to be setup on a dyno in fourth gear taken from low rpm all the way to redline, this can't be done on the street for obvious speed restriction reasons.

Set it up in second or third as I attempted and it would occasionally spike when jumping on the throttle around peak torque or when loading it up from low rpm.

I've had a little play and monitored bl4ck32's boost curve, I was very much impressed with the stability and lack of even the slightest spike.

The only reason to grab an AVCR over the PFC EBC is the extra features of the avcr, they both work exactly the same way, not one will hold or build boost better than the other. It is definitely worth while when running a decent 250+rwkw IF you are having a few issues with traction and have already sorted suspension/tyres.

So as with everything.. its all in the setup/tune. :)

    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
