I am trying to decide what EBC to get. I want everything right when I install my kit.

I remember dustin talking about how much he liked his Apexi AVCR, and then I remember people saying it is a real pain to setup, etc. Was it Art also running an AVCR...those things are real expensive, I am just thinking of the Greddy Profec B.

Please list your EBC, how you like it, what you dislike, and what kind of improvements you saw over a MBC or just wastgate spring control.

blitz dsbc.. 4 set levels of boost, peak hold, gain and boost cut.. no crazy fuzzy logic setup

 

Fuzzy logic is one thing I would like to get imput on.

Share some experiences with your blitz dsbc......

 

AVC-R is really easy to set up if you read the instructions.

People seem to want to play with the toy without reading the instructions first.

Thats a good thing to hear. I guess you could say I am the **** type of person, I like to memorize instructions before using something!

Anyone know a good place to get an AVC-R for less then $599? That seems to be the price I find.

 

I think I paid under $500 in September of 2000 for mine... from ben@importparts.com

Then again I could be remembering wrong.

How bout you just start with a MBC?

Suprdave

 

That isn't bad. I may have to splurge and get one. My other "turbo associated" parts is quickly climibing past the $2,000 mark. I am never satisfied!!!

 

greddy profec B this weekend. hopefully w/ remote switch on steering wheel to switch boost up on the track.

 

I thought about that, but why spend $70 on a decent MBC when I will eventually want an EBC.

But I mostly want an EBC for the more accurate WG control. The faster the turbo spools, the faster I go faster!

 

I got mine for $400 shipped from titanmotorsports.com 2 weeks ago, I've had both the profec B and AVC-R. I would recommend the AVC-R. I just checked the site right now looks like its going for 459 now

One feature I realllly like about my avc-r is the peak hold.. I have a habit now of resetting the peak/hold everytime I hit max boost. It's become a natural movement for me. Anyway, it's a nice tool to check 'how much boost at how much % throttle at what rpm at how much sol duty' so on and so on. there are so many cool features!

i bit overpriced yes. but DAMN it looks good!

 

Haha, I do the exact same thing!

 

i got the DSBC, its sweet, but a profec B will suite most.

 

about having trouble 'setting' it up. I really wouldn't worry about it because you have a resource called honda-tech.com! If you have questions about your avc-r there are tons of knowledgable doofles on this board who would jump on your question and answer it. Your answer will probably come in a matter of minutes!

Profec B gets my

Easy to use and tune and very effective

 

i like my profec a ...

 

One place that I have seen with great prices and service is http://www.optauto.com. I plan on getting either one of the following from them if I can't find a better deal anywhere else: Greddy Profec B, Blitz SBC-iD, or Apexi AVCR.

You could also ask Antonio(DragII) on this board if he could hook you up with a good price from his store. I just IM'd him about prces on the Profec B and the Blitz.

 

Would somebody explain what duty is and what it should be set at for a 7-9psi application?

 

Yes, it does look badazz in a car. Girls definitly like that sort of thing!!

 

I my Profec-B.... Never had a problem once I plugged it in right... Even with a Deltagate...

 

i have an HKS EVC which i bought used for 250. it has the fuzzy logic stuff which seems to work pretty well. i noticed boost coming in sooner and much less of a boost drop in the upper rmp band as opposed to the regular wastegate. the only problem i noticed was when the weather changed suddenly, my boost would sometimes spike too high or come up short...depending, of course, on the type of change in weather.
