TRD3000GT Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Ok, I am going to be picking up a boost controller in the next week and I want advice on which one to be going for or which package... Ive heard that the Blitz units have the best solenoids.. would any of you care to comment. Im either going to get a BLITZ SBC i-Color or a BLITZ SBC-ID III and the BLITZ Power Meter ID III to go next to it.. I think the second choice looks VERY good as it will fit my spare DIN hole perfectly. The first colour one looks trick and Im pretty sure it has most of the same functions as the two older units.... Im ordering in the next week so I need answer soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshBhp Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 BLITZ SBC-ID III, all day long. I have tried Apexi, HKS and the above holds boost the beat as its a Dual solenoid. The colour one is nice, put I'm sure you can but the extra £200 to better use I also had the Power Meter ID III, it's OK, but don't wast your money.

michael Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Any reason why you aren't using the Motec for boost control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Love my ID3 and Powermeter 3 - works a treat and top notch boost control. If I didn't already have it though I'd get the colour - looks the bollux! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Any reason why you aren't using the Motec for boost control? Yea.. its a SET controller and it uses pretty small solenoids I want to have more control over whats going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Interesting to hear - I'm looking into the Motec myself and had just presumed that I'd be able to use their boost control, traction etc to save having extra stuff around the place - if it's inferior I might have to reconsider.

Dragonball Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Chris I have the colour option - does both options with a few pluses Improvements over the SBC include a boost map based on rpm - rather than just speed - also the ability to input lots of other data and produce your own afr / bhp maps etc Not by any means perfect - but definately a consideration Size-wise - 1/2 height will fit below the stereo Come and have a look if interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I've got an SBC ID and powermeter - Very handy to be able to change boost on the fly michael, which you can't do without a laptop with the ECU set boost levels. Powermeter looks good, and it's cool to get BHP readings from your acceleration, but ultimately it's pointless. Good for filling a gap in your dashboard.

I suppose some people might find that handy - I have the AVC-R at the moment and have never used the 'B' setting, I tend to regulate boost with my foot when necessary. A lot of the extras the dedicated units give would be handy though, like the extra 10% you can dial in for full throttle for a set amount of time etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I just like being able to say: "Hmm, I'm not in the mood for 1.2 bar today..." Plus, you can adjust with the weather, crank up the boost when the weather's better, drop it in the cold (Hits 1.2 far too easily in winter!)

tDR Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 If you have the SBC-ID and Power Meter ID combo, I'm pretty sure you can do boost vs RPM also - pretty sure it was in the menu's when I was playing with this combo on my JZA70.

Cheers, Brian. Nope - you can only do boost vs speed........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Brian. Nope, sorry. You can do speed / horsepower. There's no RPM feed into that combo, only the boost and speed. You _can_ use the auxilliary harness to read off three more sensor feeds from the ECu, like water temp, inlet air temp, or whatever you feel like splicing into.

tDR Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I stand corrected. Maybe an AVC-R I was thinking of as I set one of those up for a m8? Cheers, Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
