Über855R Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I don't want to use the bcs but I haven't had the best luck with any other boost controllers as far as consistency in different altitudes and temperatures. Is there a quality EBC that will work with the civinco controllers? Links please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Civinco cannot control boost? If not its retared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteT5 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I don't think any EBC is going to work directly with Civinco. That being said, I am using Civinco and an A'pexi AVC-R(Awesome boost controller; I don't understand why more people don't use it) to independently control boost.Civinco can control boost, but it's much more convenient to do it with an EBC.

JoshV70 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 An N75 valve which is similar to the stock BCS will work very well. You can wire it up to Civinco and control boost through there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would one of these work as opposed to an aftermarket performance EBC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would one of these work as opposed to an aftermarket performance EBC?Im using a stock n75 valve, it works great, just like a aftermarket ebc if you have the settings dialed in right. With Civinco, you can control boost by either just duty cycle by load values or rpm, or u can use the boost regulating loop and select how many BAR of boost based on the rpm.If you have Civinco, why spend hundreds on a EBC when u can get a BCS, either Volvo or VW for just $30.

N75 just happened to be the easiest and cheapest I came across when I was searching for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swedish Mike Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Yeah, use the built in functions and save cash. If you want a EBC (for some reason), why even try to hook it up to the Civinco?EBC is a stand alone boost controller, just mount it./Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to save money and use the built in features, you can just buy a separate BCS, like the VW N75 valve I am using, and hook it up to civinco. Using Civinco I can control the gain and set a boost curve with a visual 2d map and see exactly how the car will boost based on rpm and load.
