Its ok, Ians not man enough to run over 40psi:momaru: :tdo3: :icon_wink
all i have to say is avcr it really nice pretty much the best out there in less you run a emange setup then the e1 whould be my choice since ti will match
the only con i have about the avcr is umm it looks pretty old now compared to others and the sfac 2
i herd that the gear boosty thing does not work with our car's i cna be wroung and if am tell me so i can set it up on my car

Ryan: I wasn't really over concerned by the dated look as it's in a 20 year old car !
I think an issue for the speed sense part of the AVC-R may be in how our cars generate the signal!
Because I'm standalone I don't have the stock ECU or much of the stock wiring left so I had to find the signal wire! (It's a Pink wire with Silver flashes)
To verify it I hooked up a multimeter then moved the car a bit while watching the signal, it was 4 triggers one at 2.58v one at .9v then 1.3v and 1.9v so I'm guessing this confuses the AVC-R!
I'll have a play around today and see what it actually does but my feelings/guess/thoughts are that it will just blur the change over points slightly and as my 1st 2nd and 3rd gear boost points will be all the same it shouldn't affect me at all!
I used some RX7 oil cooler rubber mounts on the solenoid and it's silent!

i was talking with some that got the speed senceing to work
he got pickup and stamped it to the drive shaft and ran the sencer on the body
now the hard part is he did not do this some did for him
now all i got to find out is what does the avcr like as in signale

Ryan: If I can't bet it to work from the Toyota sensor my Tremec has both cable drive and a Hall sensor already in the trans so I can wire that in!
Cross post from my big thread!
AVC-R FunNgames!
It dried up enough this afternoon for me to take Fatty out and do some tuning on the Boost Controller!
I got all of the Gear Sense sorted did the High power settings (21 psi for the time being) and made a start on the low power settings when It started raining again!
I pulled into a truck parking bay on the freeway sorted the rest of the low settings and nailed it through the gears on the way out!
9 psi at 4000 and perfect traction
At these settings the top end is 1 bar 14.7!
After replumbing it last night I remembered I'd changed the WG Hose to the back of the intake manifold when I had the old turbo and gate on to get more boost so putting it back on the Compressor outlet has dropped a couple of PSI off the gate!
At 1 bar you have to really lay into it before it breaks traction in the wet so it's safe up to 5500 in the first 3 gears and accelerates very hard and when it does break traction it's quite controllable.
I have to say the AVC-R is an amazing piece of gear and contrary to everything I read really simple to set up and tune!

That cool, Ian! I'll be in touch with you shortly to get some advice from you. I never had too much of a chance to play with mine before I tore my car apart, so I still have to learn the finer point of the AVC-R.
Mark: In my usual fashion I spent the last few days researching and reading everything I could find on the AVC-R and am more than impressed at how simple it is and how well it works! (I was a bit freaked out that it was going to be hard to make it do what I wanted)
It'll run 3 bar no probs so that was a bit of a Net Myth I found!

I figured it was. Apexi commands big bucks for the AVC-R, so why would the limit their market?
I think a lot of that myth stems from if you have a stock actuator like a .5bar/7 psi one and you crank the controller up the exhaust will actually unseat the flapper valve limiting your boost and people mistake this as the AVC-R can't hold more then 1.8 bar!
Do boost controllers come with universal harnesses? How is it installed? There is one locally for sale that came off an eclipse. It is a Blitz SBC Spec S.
Yep they're fairly simple to wire so have a universal harness.
Make sure you can get hold of a manual for it.

Yep it should have a harness but it may be hacked up a bit depending on how carefully it's been removed.
No idea on price you'd have to search a bit to get an idea.

supraforums doesnt seem to allow me to search anything. It loads into a blank screen. So I thought I would ask it here.
Out of the Greddy Profec Spec 2, blitz sbc Spec R and the Apexi AVCR, what is the best one and why?

So were you able to run if off of the stock speed output from the speedo or did you have to use the output on your trans? If you said it I just missed it somewhere, lol.
