Abarth Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hey so yeah, I am keen to get an electronic boost controller. Has anyone got any experience with them? Possibly looking at getting the Greddy Profec A; the oldschool one. But I am open as Blitz and HKS ones look alright. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have used a Profec B before. Really good backing and name etc etc and works mint. I have a mate who has just built a pretty big power Rb30 with 25 head and large turbo and he is running the Profect B as a choice. He rates them hard and has run them in all his turbo cars so far. Dont know why he likes them so much however. The Eboost or Eboost2 are also pretty scmick, but expensive. I was/am going to look more into ECU boost control settings as it would be cheaper and cuts down another peice of electrical equiptment that can stop working.

FLAWLES Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 was going to ask the same question, as im looking at one too was looking at the apexi range but know zip about them would love to know pros and cons for the above contollers tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Ass Dragger Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have used a Blitz Dual level controller and a Profect B They both worked great The Blitz did struggle when boost levels got above 20psi, the profect B I have used never had any issues with boost control was great, jsut took a while to get set up and working correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abarth Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Pretty keen on the Profec A as its reasonably cheap when compared to some others. Plus its got that cool Overtake button for hi boost. Apexi AVC-r looks mean with the blue display, but costs heaps. Has a few cool functions like injector duty % and the display can show the boost as a gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abarth Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Right I got myself a black Apexi AVC-r for reasonably cheap. Just finished installing/ test driving. In short its awesome. So far I have only hooked up the essentials and have yet to wire in the TPS wire, injector duty wire, RPM's, etc. On the test drive I set it the controller to off which boosted around .55 bar. I switched it to A setting and dialed the boost in at .9 bar which after some fiddling with the duty held consistent boost at .9 bar. B setting I am yet to dial the boost in. Almost feels that the boost is coming on earlier when compare to the standard electronic boost control. Took the better part of a day to install as you have to find suitable places to mount everything, however it wasn't to bad to install.

lowlancer Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 After using those crappy boost taps, I would always go to electronic aye. Was actually gonna suggest the kit Jaycar do, but may have been a bit less than what you were after. Did you get a solenoid from a wreckers? Curious how it's all done.

Your right some of those boost taps are shit. I had a no brand ball and spring type on my Uno Turbo which never held boost the fell apart on the motorway. After that I brought a Racepro tap which worked well, had a bit of boost spike but nothing bad. I got the electronic control this time to lower the factory boost on my Punto as its winds up to 18psi standard. I cant see the turbo lasting that long doing that to it all the time. Plus its meant to my daily, I dont need another project car The boost controller comes as a complete kit including the display, wiring harness, boost pressure sensor and boost solenoid. You just have to put it all in and find the right wires/pipes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Awesome. Drove an Uno turbo the other day, was fun. Pity about the sieve-like roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
