    Question Who wants a cheap electronic boost controller?

    Just wondering what sort of demand there would be for one?

    Assuming I could sort out a Blitz S-SBC or Greddy Profec B for under £250 would anyone be interested?

    How about the Apex-i S-AFC fuel comp? These things are the s**t! They are so flexible, would be an ideal addition to modded 200's with standard or even an uprated ECU. They are very popular both in Japan and the US. Anyone interested in one of these at the right price??

    I feel some group buys coming on!!

    OK, prices would be around :-

    Blitz Dual SBC Spec S (brand new model - replacement for S-SBC) - £245
    Greddy Profec B - £250
    Apex-i S-AFC - £245

    Prices are inclusive, but add a small charge for local p&p. Looking to do this fairly shortly, perhaps end of this month/early next month.

    Any takers? PS this isn't a group buy as such, but these prices are assuming a few people buy as that way bringing them over is more economical

    Docwra, I have found a supplier (in Japan) who can get quality used parts like boost controllers etc. I've not used them so maybe I'll do a little test order to see if they're any good. Might be an option if the above is too much

    Yes but your looking at around £395. Still it sells for over £500 here. The Power Meter ID (Power readings, 0-400m timing etc. etc.) joins to it to make a single DIN unit - this would be approx £180.

    Still looking to sort this out soon. Seems to be a fair amount of demand so, will put some final details together after I sort out the oil catch tank buy.

    Cheers

    That sounds like it would suit me better than a pair of superman undies. I doubt I can stretch to 250 bucks next month
    Let me know how you get on

    Eddie, shouldn't be a problem. Price would be around £395.

    Doc - sorry I don't think the guys I mentioned are going to be much help unfortunately. They came back and told me they didn't do second hand (they originally said they did?) but sell some new but recently discontinued parts. Unfortunately nothing to suit. They did have an old type AVC-R but it'll still be over £250... I'll let you know if I find anything else.
