ManwithSupra Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hi all, I am looking to get an electronic boost controller but as there are so many i am not sure what one to go for... idealy i am after one with gain control but does not cost the earth. If you could suggest some then i would be grateful Cheers everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'm a big fan of the Blitz SBC-ID. The AEM Tru-boost did well in my single too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry_10 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I am using a blitz dual spec r dual solenoid which I would recommend, I previously used a greddy profec b on my skyline which I never had any problems with either- chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Cant go wrong with the good old GReddy profec b, simple to set up and use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Highly recommend the Blitz SBC-ID III, expensive bit of kit but extremely reliable and does exactly what you need it to Very easy to use and a nice compact screen on the dash. 4x Switchable presets at the press of a button is a nice feature. I'm not a big fan of the Blitz dual SBC/spec r, fidly to use and a useless display. Okay if you are on a budget, but there are much better out there.

Nic Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Depends how much you want to spend, there have been a couple of threads on the subject recently, see HERE and HERE. All the EBC's below include the gain feature, this would be my order of preference: 1. HKS EVC V 1. Blitz SBC i-color Spec R 2. Blitz SBC id III Spec R 3. Blitz Dual SBC Spec R 3. GReddy PRofec B-Spec II Edited May 25, 2011 by Nic (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I just ordered a HKS EVC V.. Seemed the best balance of features and cost... Blitz i-Colour was too expensive.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Cheers for all the replies I was initially looking at the Greedy Profec unit as was attracted by the price vs. features. I am willing to spend more on the controller if the additional features are worth the additional £150-£250. I am not one to skimp on quality where i can (I always get the best unit I can afford) but don’t want to buy a more expensive one if i am only going to be using half of the features. Also whats the difference between the HKS EVC-V(5) and 6?? Edited May 25, 2011 by ManwithSupra (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I have a Greddy E-01, which has been good and a great display and datalogger, but check about spares, I am buying a new replacement boost solenoid and it's costing $145, can't find anywhere in the UK which stocks them.

pedrosixfour Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 What about a PRofec S? Any good for a noob in the world of turbo induction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) I think it is just naming between HKS USA and Japan?? For some reason when it was first launched it was referred to by HKS Japan as the EVC version 6 (the previous version was the EVC V) and by HKS USA as the EVC V, although HKS Japan now refer to it as the fifth generation EVC.

Nic Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 What about a PRofec S? Any good for a noob in the world of turbo induction? Yes it'll work fine, it doesn't have an LCD display so you'll also need a boost gauge but it is easy to use and setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a decent boost gauge all ready for fitting Nic, its part of a nice complete HKS guage kit I picked up a few months ago. I'm trying to avoid a situation where I'm looking at the dash more than out the window so one less display to monitor is actually a blessing. Thanks for the input mate.
