HKS Manual Boost Controller

[xatracing]

I had a customer bring one of these back. If you guys have a need make me an offer. I know manual sucks but it will go cheap.

[midnight brother]

Hey its good to see you guys posting on the board. I saw your ad awhile ago and went to your site. Pretty good but you need more Nissan!!! It's good to see another Nissan capable place in the Tampa Bay area. Do you guys stock items like boost controllers and such so you can buy or is xatracing like a suped up car lot type deal?

[themadscientist]

Manual doesn't suck. It's not as responsive as an electronic but it works. I like manual.

and CHEAP

[themadscientist]

there are a whole bunch of cheap ghetto tricks we used back in the day before even manual boost controllers were available.

just kidding, but seriously plz give me a rough idea what its worth...

Thanks,Sean

How much is a electronic one gona cost me??

[xatracing]

Well a Greddy profec E-o1 is about $550.00 / the profec- B spec is $345.00

[xatracing]

NeedCAforS13,Let me see If I am gonna use it on the 240 we are building, if not I will be able to give you a good deal.

midnight brother, We are a performance shop, repair shop, dealer, body shop all rolled into one. We have been working on getting more and more nissan stuff on our site. We are concentrating on swapping 240's with Jdm engines mainly. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe we are the only place where you can get the car, have the swap done, tune it, do whatever aesthetic (wheels, body kits) you want and buy it for one price. I will post pics on friday of our latest swapped 240. I have been reading the board for awhile and you guys know your stuff. We gaurantee all of our swaps. Let me know if you guys need any parts, I will do my best to beat your best price.

[xatracing]

I havent been up there in about 10 years. I dont miss the winters.

[I H8 UR DSM]

It even snowed like a week ago, its rediculous....the cold and snow is such a waste.

[xatracing]

Not to rub it in, but we have been in the low 80's all week. Come summer we will pay for this weather.

[I H8 UR DSM]

[midnight brother]

That's cool to hear xat I didn't know you were all of that. Yeah you are the only one hear heck I don't know of many in the country like that. Hopefully i'll be seeing you guys alot when I buy my car and start working on it.

About MBC sucking, a moderator of hyundaiperformance.com was talking about how he will never use an EBC in his car and this is why:

"The problem with EBC's is that most of them use knobs for adjustment of the boost settings which is translated out to a control box that houses the Solenoids, if you have every messed with car stereos you will understand what Iam saying next. The knobs end up getting static in them and causes the boost level to go crazy high or low, it can go either way. That is why I personally won't use EBC's in any of my cars, but I do install them in customers cars all the time. I also have a way to make 2 MBC's into a EBC, or use one MBC in conjuction with the static setting on the wastegate."

What is everyones opinion on that? I think that with dual/three stage MBCs being cheaper and not having the problem above would be what I would want. I think I can live without not-as responsive boost and ability to change boost in car.

[I H8 UR DSM]

Yea ebc's arent necessary at all, and most tuners/racers etc will tell you there is no reason to run a low boost setting if your cars tuned right ya know....the way we explain it is: If you have a hot girlfriend, with big tits, are you going to want to turn a knob and make the tits small when u go out, or sometimes? no of course not.

Turbo XS makes a dual stage MBC if you feel you have the need to have two boost settings...i see no reason, exept show, and another piece of electronics to have an EBC...

If you drive a street car, running 20psi and making 450 rwhp all the time isn't necessary, good for engine, or safe.
