Electronic Boost Controller
 

ok i had a couple of questions and i would like to get some feedback from some people.

I am currnently building a digital boost controller/gauge.

which design do you like best.
The Apexi Style, where it sits on top the dash somewhere..
The Blitz,hks,greddy style that is in a slim style box you can mount in a din slot etc..
or a gauge style that is mounted in a pod that would have a couple of buttons.

Im leaning toward the gauge style for the first run.
Innovates XD-16 is a what i think i would go for with 2 buttons to controll the boost.

Also does color really matter?

Its looking like i would be able to sell them for $175-200
How does the price sound?

It would be backed with like a 2 year warrenty.

Another question is why or why wouldnt you buy it from me... ex. Name brand... new company.. Dont like the looks... stuff like that. I know mbc are cheap and easy to make /use. But Since i program microcontrollers everyday i figured id actually make something cheaper then the name brand companies, that are just as good.
If you guys could give me some feed back id appriciate it..
Thanks
Brian

Also. i am currently working on making some other products like Wideband A/F controller and guage, and something similar to the apexi safc. Except for a buttload cheaper.

Re: Electronic Boost Controller
 

any chance of some free samples bein passed out for testing?

Re: Electronic Boost Controller
 

this is possible... free.. or verrrrrry cheap samples could be passed out.. but i need to know some input? I mean i am directing this to you guys to see what you like... the more the input the better i can develop this thing.
actully free or verry cheap samples is a good idea.. because you guys can test and verify they work for me ;D
but i would like some input to get to the next stage thanks

Re: Electronic Boost Controller
 

i like the apexi if you make them can i get one of the samples please? and when will you come out with them. seems like a cool idea.

Re: Electronic Boost Controller
 

I would prefer a blitz style box personally. It's just a lot easier to mount something like that instead of a round gauge or big flat panel apexi thing.

Re: Electronic Boost Controller
 

I prefer the gauge style as it eliminates one thing to be installed in the interior.

Re: Electronic Boost Controller
 

Preferrence in style: Bullshit question. As long as you can view it and use it, the boost controller will sell itself

Cons: Electronic boost controllers are unreliable piles of piss. Name ONE that works correctly - point made. Not that I don't think it could be done, but no one making them gets anything correct beyond the slick packaging and ad campaign.


I suggest sending a test sample to AbaZ (Jeff Frank) who owns this site, he will review it and fairly report on it. I'd say I could as well, but I'd carry less weight around here than he would.

Re: Electronic Boost Controller
 

I agree that blitz style is easiest to mount, but function is mandatory over form here at HMT. As JD said, give em to the mods as they will carry the most weight and are the ones who would not just be tryin to get a free Boost controller and never even report on it. Good luck with the project.

I love your avatar. If we ever meet, I am buying you a beer for that little oven stunt.

What features is this going to carry. I am going to be test the TullosTech unit. For the features it boasts it compared to a 600.00 Unit.

Also who care what it look like. Performance, adjustablity, and feature are the notes that should be taken care of instead of looks.
