Homer Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I've searched extensively on this and seen many threads - none which directly answer my question!!: Which boost controller is the best option for stock JDM turbos, but will also work well if I 'go single' sometime in the future? Theres 3 I'm looking at: - Apexi AVC-R - Bltiz SBC-ID3 - Greddy E-01 They're all within £80 of each other (from MVP), but considering setup costs and future plans for a single I'd like to know your opinions of the best one to go for.

Jake Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I hope everyone says the Greddy E-01 'cos I've just ordered one! SimonB said they're really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 I was expecting a few to suggest the Greddy My only concern with that one is where to mount that screen in the soop dash, its bloody huge! That’s a very good price, even cheaper than MVP! Hope you don’t mind me asking where it was from? This may well be a stupid question, but what 'other' uses does it have?

Branners Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I dont know the greddy but I can say the Blitz SBC-ID does a great job, combined with the powermeter you can do quite a bit of adjustment on how the boost comes on line.

Homer Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 Thanks Jake. That guy sure is selling stuff cheap, far below what I'm used to seeing on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I have used both the SBC-ID and AVCR - and both have their pluses The AVCR as it allows particular RPM settings rather than speed settings as with the Blitz The Blitz is much easier to use and set than the Apexi however - IHMO The Greddy combined with the full package I believe will be better than either - but more complicated and takes proper setting up Not sure as a stand alone E-01 Good price from Ritch - he's a good bloke - but of course you have to win them!

That's right Paul his name is Ritch. How do you know him? He wouldn't let me collect the goods and pay cash, so now I have to wait over a week for the funds to clear and hm to send the stuff. Bit annoying really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Homer, Terminator is doing a group buy in the for sale section for the e-manage, E-01, etc. I'm looking to get an E-01 and the price he's given me is very good (similar to Jakes with delivery) might be worth PM'ing him. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26606 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 IMO the apexi is overcomplicated and the solenoid is known to be crap , the Greddy is very good at holding boost constant but is not easy to change on the fly , the Blitz has an excellent double solenoid and holds boost as well as can be expected , guy at CPL said it was one of the best controllers for holding boost he'd seen , its aslo very easy to use .

Jake Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 I think the Profec e-01 would be a good choice if there's a chance you might also be needing an eManage in the future. If you're thinking of eventually going single you'll need something to control larger injectors, like an eManage. Seeing as the e-01 and the eManage work so well together it was an easy choice for me. I had a feeling that if I went with a different boost controller now and later got the eManage I'd be kicking myself for not getting the e01. YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMV Jake, That’s exactly what I was thinking, but I was only basing it on what I've read here rather than any hard technical knowledge!! I'm pretty sure I'll go for the Greddy now Thanks for all the responses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Looks like i'll be going e-manage soon , but i wont be using the profec !!!! Dude:flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Originally posted by dude Looks like i'll be going e-manage soon , but i wont be using the profec !!!! Dude:flame Dev Only 'cause you can't figure out how to use it! I'll more or less agree with other peoples comments already posted. I've had the Blitz DSBC and now have the Profec. I found the Profec held boost more consistantly than the Blitz, but it was fairly marginal, so I'm not running down the Blitz. The only thing I miss about the Blitz, is it's size. Personally, I'm not keen on the Blitz SBC, but only because I find making adjustments on the display difficult to read whilst on the move.... That's probably got something to do with my crap eyesight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like gadgets then the E01 is great, especially if you have an Emanage. It means you can log stuff without having to rig up a laptop specially. You can also plug one Greddy 60mm gauge into it and log that too - I have a Greddy EGT gauge so I can log my EGTs along with everything else. At least I could if I'd actually got round to getting the bloody sensor plumbed in yet. If you get the external signal harness you can also wire up 2 analogue and 2 pulsed signals too. I'm going to use this for a wideband O2 sensor. I don't really know how it compares to the others in terms of holding boost etc, but it works very well for me.

Captain Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I don't mean to hijack this thread but I am too looking at which boost controller to get. Nobody has mentioned the Greddy Profec B II. Am i to take it that this controller is not so good for the Supra?? maybe because of the twin turbos or just because it doesn't posess the functions. I like the size and it looks simple to use... plus it's a little bit easier on the pocket! just wondering what you guys thought.
