High PSI boost controllers
Hey guys, Ive recently run into a delimma with my build. I was planning on using the HKS EVC VI boost controller but someone brought to my attention that it max's out at 36psi. Im planning on running 40-45psi and need a boost controller that can hold and control this. Does anyone have experience with either taking an EVC higher than 36psi or information on a credibly high psi boost controller? Im using HKS FCon for EMS, not AEM. Any info is greatly apprecited. Thanks

The Greddy Profec B Spec II can handle up to 43 psi.
The TurboXS DTEC boost controller is pretty cool. It uses a Gameboy Advance SP as kind of like a mini-computer and handles 60 psi+.
One of these may be a good setup for you. However, I have no experience with either, so you may want to do a search on them. Hope this helps.

For what you're doing man you should seriously look into an NLR AMS-1000 or maybe the world electronics boost controller. Since you have the knock amp with A/F already the Prologger is out of the question as you would double up on wideband controllers. These are systems that will utilize different methods as far as gearing, time, etc. so you have precise control of boost as a means of traction control.

Ive seen the world electronics boost controller but have not heard of anyone using it before. As for the other one, it looks pretty beefy. I would prefer something easy to use that I wont have to tinker with much, the world electronics one is definitely on the list. The NLR one looks very complicated and more of a full race setup, but im going to look into that one aswell. Thank you for your input

I bet turboxs has a MBC that you could use, you could use a forge unos with the stiff spring, the buschur mbc. Otherwise your looking at turbo xs dtec, I think the AVC-R can read up to almost 45psi IIRC, AEM true boost with upgraded solenoid, etc.
What would be ideal is hooking up your F-CON to control boost.......

I wasnt aware that the FCon could control the boost at all. I would prefer to go with a EBC as I am more comfortable with them. Ill look into the turbo xs aswell. Do you happen to have experience with any of these? Thanks for thie help

The FCon can't directly as theier is not feature in the software for boost control, but you can setup a seperate table to control a boost solenoid via duty cycle, it's a crude way of doing it but it can work.
