I've always heard good things about the Blitz, but they are quite a bit more than the Apexi(second choice).

the main problem with the avc-r is where to mount that huge thing, i've seen some pretty cool mounting places, but i think, i'll be better off with something smaller.

If you do not mind losing your cupholder (not an issue to me) you can mount the AVC-R here:



Else, you can mount it here:



I do not have the V-AFC anymore though, sold it a long time ago.

how did you mount it up above the mirror, that looks great. I had my old vafc where you avcr is, and i hated it, especially if i went to mcdonalds or something, i'm also one of those people that always has to have a drink nearby.

If you can give me some tips in mounting the avc-r above the mirror i may look into it more,

but i can get a profec b for just under 300$ or a profec A for just over 400$.

Yea if you could kinda explain how you mounted the AVC-R up there like that I'd apprieciate it too, I have mind right ontop of the dash because I need to have it in my sight, but it's also in sight of everybody who looks at my car, kidna makes it inviting to theft.

I like the Blitz SBC-iD also. But, if you don't need all the features of that one, then a Blitz DSBC or SSBC would do just fine at much lower prices. And they all have pretty small control units.

Anybody have any pics of a SBC-ID installed? I've been looking at them, but can't get a good sense of size and whatnot... all the pictures are small and uninstalled.

the thing is tiny! It's smaller than my nokia 8290 cell phone....very stubby. I don't have mine in yet, but I plan to mount it right behind the shifter, before the scoop for the e-brake. I took all the measurements and it will easily fit there. Take a look at this space...it will give you an idea of how small it is. The measurements are 86mm(W) x 45mm (H) x 14mm (D)....

I run a PRofec B on my Sentra. The only problem I have had is when I have taken it to 20 psi! It will only allow you to boost up to 1.5 times whatever your wastgate is set at! I have a 13 psi spring so I can only take it to 21 psi! The PRofec A is fuzzy logic; stay away fom Fuzzy logic! The AVC-R is also fuzzy logic, but some people have had great results from them!

why stay away from fuzzy logic boost controllers?

What would you recommend on my setup.
ITR
drag III 8psi
hondata

I've decided between greddy profec B or Apexi Avc-r...

I just need to know more detail about both controllers, since the sites dont' give much info. Up's and downs of both. and what would be better for me

THanks
Jason

If you want very detailed control, AVC-R, if you just wanna set-and-forget, Profec.

If you guys want more info about some of the main electronic controllers, check out the September 2001 issue of Super Street. They review the profec-B, AVC-R, SBC i-D and EVC IV.
