Following on from MBC vs EBC which EBC offers best performance / $ for use with a DPW?

Tony

 

I had an HKS evc - thing pissed me off so much I ran it over with my dump truck - then I backed over it. The $60 Lindsey dial works beautifully and consistently with my Tial.

 

For an EBC, I would go GReddy PRofec B or PRofec B Spec II.

 

If you can pick up a Used or new Profec B spec 1, you won't regret it. It's so user friendly , fast and accurate. I'm now using the Profec B spec 2 , with all the bells and whisles, and I wish I still had the Profec B spec 1 .

 

Is it okay to buy these things used?

 

More than likely yes Michelle, I however bought a HKS EVC 3 and the damn solenoid was shot. Scott H messed with it for awhile, but he said it sucks as well. So now Im stuck with something that doesnt work and I feel bad reselling on ebay and acting like I never installed it...

I bought my MBC used, and it works great! After riding in Dan87951's car I can say the Greddy Profec B seems very easy to use and does what it says, nothing more nothing less. I would get one of those or a Blitz SBCid.

 

Thanks for the advice so far,
I have also found a boost controller comparison here http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/te..._boostcontrol/
With an EBC will both ports on the tial get used?

Yes, there is a switch on the back of most controllers, for single or dual port mode.

 

Thanks for all the advice Greddy Profec B spec 1 looks like the one to look for is $299.00new a good price?

I say APEXi AVC-R, with a tial wg.

 

V944god any particular reason why?

 

"I say APEXi AVC-R, with a tial wg."

I'd say that too with dual-solenoids in push-pull configuration.

"V944god any particular reason why?"

Maximum performance. You can customize boost on a per-gear basis. Large-turbo, high-HP cars can use lower boost in 1st & 2nd gears to prevent loss of traction. You can customize boost in those gears to give maximum-acceleration at the limit of your tires to get maximum perfomance.

Then you can also customize your boost-curve on an RPM-basis as well. Typically good to lower boost a tiny bit in an 1000rpm range around the torque peak to lower wheel-spin. Then rise it up 1-2psi as RPM increases after the torque-peak to combat the kamikazi drop in the torque-curve. Essentially, you're varying boost to combat the changes in the engine's VE at various RPMs.

 

I have an AVC-R as well. Havent run it yet, but will be soon enough. Danno, I would love any info on running dual solenoid setup, dont think I have ever seen that but it sound like it would be a good idea.

Sam - you should be able to just buy a solenoid. Call any of the Japanese car tuners, shouldnt be much.

Just got my Blitz SBC id will install shortly.
It was the SBC id or the AVC-R
I like the blitz because of the simplicity of install and the featrues. also a remote display.

 

Given the choice between the Greddy and Apexi units, which would you guys say is better? I'd be running a TiAl wastegate and Greddy BOV.
