Am looking at getting boost controller which is best one to get and will they work on mfi how do you fit them.

Cheers joe

 

Amal valve what your car comes with from the factory is great why change it?

 

Different boost settings for track/road or wet/dry, gear based boost control for aiding traction in the lower gears, rpm vs boost mapping for eliminating boost spikes and boost drop off at high rpm, scramble boost a bit extra when you want/need it, etc.. etc... lol

Apexi AVC-R is what I use mate, great controller but it is expensive, and yes all the functions work on an MFI car!
Fitting.. follow the wiring/plumbing diagrams and it goes in place of your Amal valve (bleed valve if you have one fitted).

 

So on the amal valve will i use all 3 pipes that go in to it or do i need to block any n i have about £200 that can spend on one.

Cheers joe

 

Depends on the controller, on my Apexi for example I could use all 3 if I were still MFI.
£200 is about £300 short of an AVC-R, but there a plenty of cheaper BC's that will do the basics for that sort of money.

 

gizzmo MS IBC is what you're after joe, i run one on my xr2 turbo zvh and works well, easy to fit, easy ish to setup.
cost about £200, if you wanted to see mine you'd see how easy it is to setup and fit.

 

The wireing i would be fine with. Just wondering About the pipe work to the amal valve and how that end works.

Cheers joe

 

Hello mate, you loose the amal and follow the instructions lol, a solenoid sits in the amal valves place and has clear markings telling you what and where every thing goes.

I have a Gizzmo too, but i haven't got an engine so couldn't tell you how well it works lol

Rob,

 

Lol cheers pal i would off bought one today but paypal are saying i have hit my spending limit and need to get verifid 2-3 working days lol

Thanks for the info guys

 

piping is a piece of cake felle, take amal off and blank the pipe to metering unit.
the remaining pipes go to actuator and compressor housing on turbo, they connect to the solenoid on the Gizzmo IBC.
wiring is easy as said as it's only needing a live feed from ignition and an earth, the rest is already fitted within a loom ready to go.

 

I've got a nice greddy profec b boost controller for sale on here in your price range mate.....was perfect on my rst, more flexibility than an amal vavle imo, mostly as karlos said above
I loved mine as it was fairly simple to use and did exactly what i wanted...stable boost!

 

Any word on your Clutch Dave, is it out mate?

 

Oh shit, sorry mate forgot to send you a message....it's not but i'm picking a crane up on the weekend so will get the bottom end out so i can have a look! Due to various reasons i have been a bit slow sorting things out but will give you a shout over the weekend

 

Ah top man!!
Thanks!

 

How much are you looking for it fella??

Cheers joe

 

Just seen your advert rst dave very tempted whats the wireing like? Because the gizzmo ones its as xr2wishy says 12v ignition and a earth.

Cheers joe

 

Wiring's straight forward, comes with its own wiring loom that goes to thw solenoid in the engine bay, then you just need to feed the unit with the ignition live/ground. Bit nicer looking than the gizzmo's imo, they look a bit cheap but all do the same job really!

 

I will have it off you mate then. i would pay with pay pay but its not gona be working for a few days. Will pm you tomos mate.

Cheers joe

 

I have one more question lol. How should i set my actuator as its running 15 psi at the moment or do i not need to touch it as the controller will sort it all out.

Cheers joe
