Re: Electronic Boost Controller
Well why does anyone buy a SAFC in the first place..
1. they dont want to deal with modding the ecu
2. They want to fine tune there a/f ratios.. either for extreme temperature changes, better gas mileage etc.
3. They dont have a turbo setup and just want some more fuel top end for their bolt ons.
This is a cheaper setup then the Apexi afc, and is hidden, Should be able to work for other cars other than Hondas.
The boost controller is closed loop(feedback off of boost sensor output).
Yes i guess i could make it so you can change the boost curve(differnt boost at different rpms)<-Is that what you mean?
I would jsut ahve to add a RPM input which wouldnt be hard.... i guess i could make that optional.
Good feedback.. any other questions comments ..
Thanks
Brian

Re: Electronic Boost Controller
I dont see why all the fuss over the apexi avc-r being so hard to setup 
If you dont hook it up right and/or hook up EVERYTHING (rpm/tps/etc) then its impossible to setup. Once its properly installed it should work like a dream, mine does. 11psi on the dot every time, no less and no spike. If the temp. changes enough to change boost its a easy fix.... I think people just make things harder than they actually are. I was at a loss when I first installed it on how to tune it but with a little bit of research the next day it was on the ball ;-)

Re: Electronic Boost Controller
You don't live in the mountains, huh, where it's not uncommon to go up or drop 2000+ feet in under a half hour?
Let's not forget the comparatively extreme temp variations between day + night found at higher elevations... or my meager "usual" 2700 ft.
Yeah, AVC-R are ------- annoying.

Re: Electronic Boost Controller
I live in Morgantown, West Virginia. In the apps. I previously built a boost gauge and the baro only changed maybe .2psi. Not sure how much i actually elevation changed but it wasnt anything drastic.
Do aftermarket boost controllers run off your Map Sensor?
How many wires are there to hook up... cause on mine im only picturing power, ground, maybe tach, and the vacuum lines.
Am i missing something here?
