HDi SBC TYPE-D SUBARU Boost Controller + Zerosports Sequential Controller???

[Guest]

Hi guys I'm thinking to get a HDi SBC TYPE-D SUBARU Boost Controller for my 99 be5 b4, as what I have seen from the past threads, it's said that the HDi is not as good as the Zerosports sequential controller (http://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php/topic,5012.0.html). I'm just wondering if these two controller are the same and do the same things? To me one is boost controller and the other one is sequential controller. I might end up with putting both controller on my b4. Or do I only need one?? Pls HELP...

I note you say "boost controller" with the HDi. ZS controllers don't control boost, their sole function is to change the cross over point between turbo's.

Thanks ReubenH I'm aware that the ZS controller only changes the cross over point and it doesn't alter the boost setting. The reason I'm thinking to get both HDi and the ZS controllers is that I want to change the cross over point and give a bit higher boost to both turbos if possible. Now I'm stuck cos' I'm not sure if these two controllers do similar things..

Hrmm. Well, if the HDi controls boost, let us know eh, you might have to try it out and let us know how it goes. The combo i always wanted to do, and saw done a few times was ZS controller for the crossover point, and apexi ACV-R for boost control (it can do sequential twin turbo boost control, most boost controllers only do single turbo).

[Guest]

i am hoping to do the same i have the boost controller. but i used the cheaper one as the hdi sbc subaru controller works better on single turbo the boost drops off. were as the twin turbo boosts all the way to 7500 so you dont need to use that model. just there standard controller will do. from what i,ve read the zerosport controller would be worth getting.

with the HDi you can set it for two different setting of boosts - a high and a low boost,

i.e. im running 8psi both turbos at the low setting and 12psi both turbos at the high setting

the ZS controller would change the crossover between the two turbos which means less turbo lag

that's what i want for being able to set the low and high boosts. so Hdi and ZS are doing the different things huh.. i guess apexi avc-r does the similar thing as the Hdi right? due to the cost issue, i might give Hdi a try and see how good it works for the boost setting. thanks for the info lol

avc-r lets me me set rpm boost levels ie 500rpm = 12psi, 3000 rpm = 12psi, 4500rpm = 15 psi, 5000 rpm = 18 psi etc

is that setting for a TT or single turbo??

[Joker]

tt - which is wuite handy because primary is 14 and secondary 16? standard? (i cant remember)

so ya don't just wanna chuck 18psi in from 2500 rpm cos the wee turbo physically cant do it on its own... when the secondary jumps in its possibly (but not entirely recommended)

[Guest]

I would also be interested in your results as that is exactly what I am planning. I already have a zerosports seq controller in and have just finished sorting the ecu wiring for my gtb ( 5 Plug ECU ). Any info from you would be most appreciated. I have an Apexi avc r unit to put in.

BeepeeNZ - I see you have won the auction for the acv-r (had it on my watchlist). Have you installed it yet? Interested to know how it runs alongside the zs controller.

thanks to reuben, he's done a great job and very patient to explain in steps as he goes.. appreciated!! ;D

[ReubenH]

No worries, always happy to help. Only one more car to do (BG5A) and then i'll have installed one on every single type of twin turbo! lol.

Just wondering what the best combo with the zerosports sequential controller is for boost control? i was thinking of running the controller with the hybrid boost controller?

what are people doing for boost control on TT's ? i have the REV D

[Joey2421]

I want a zero sports controller!!

[nickmcgill]

lol @ old thread.

The ZS controller has been discontinued from production and can\'t be sourced any more.

Your best bet is to find a second hand one.
