*****The PSSEBC is currently on hold indefinitely. Check back periodically if you are still interested.*****
The PSSEBC is a semi-electronic
boost controller. It is the first of its kind that I know of. I would describe it as a cross between
a manual boost controller(MBC) and an electronic boost controller(EBC).
It has most of the more desirable features of an electronic boost
controller, but still maintains some characteristics of an MBC,
and has a price that is WELL below that of an EBC.
Currently, there are two kits available - the 2 setting and the
4 setting. Both kits will be sold w/ blue silicon hoses{yellow
shown here} from HoseTechniques(www.hosetechniques.com)
and green or red illuminated switch(es). The 2 setting kit allows
for stock boost and 1 max setting with the flick of one switch
placed inside the cockpit. The 4 setting kit will have two switches
inside the cockpit and allows for stock boost, a default low
setting(used to dial-in medium setting), medium setting, and a
high setting. Once the settings are calibrated under the hood,
there is no need for any further adjustments. Each setting can
be activated by the position of two switches inside the cockpit.
Switching between settings can be done at anytime...even at wide
open throttle.
Being able to switch between different boost settings on the fly allows you to size up the competition before a race and choose the level of boost you want to run very easily. If you find that you've miscalculated while underway, simply click the other switch on, adding more boost instantly. I found that this is very useful when getting surprised by that occasional sleeper :-)
The install of this setup is very easy and looks very clean.
Check out the pics below and judge for yourself. I have preassembled
most of it, prewired everything, and written a detailed set of
instructions. The only wiring you'll need to do is locating 12V
and ground, then splicing into them. I've made this task incredibly
simple by supplying you with special "IDC splice" connectors
that require no cutting, crimping, or insulation stripping. Mounting
is also very easy because each component mounts to existing threaded
holes in the engine compartment. *Note - You will have to drill
a 1/2" hole in the dash(or wherever you choose to mount them)
for each switch in order to mount them.
The simplicity of this system really allows for creative installations.
For example, Pete Dykinga's setup was kind of
interesting. He wanted it to be completely hidden inside his car.
He only felt that he needed 2 settings, but wanted his low setting
to be around 8psi. Well, since he has an A/T, and since he only
presses his ECT pwr button when he wants to run hard, we decided
to rig it so that his ECT pwr button also switched him to his
high boost setting at the same time. To get his low setting to
8psi, we shimmed his wastegate. It was a very stealth setup.
Price of the 2 setting kit will be $150+shipping, while the price
of the 4 setting kit will be $175+shipping. These prices are for
SOGI members only. Non-SOGI people can add 20% to those prices.
I will offer free replacement of parts for 3 years after purchase
if anything breaks. If you are not satisfied
with the PSSEBC, send it back to me and I'll gladly refund your
money without question.
I've been a respected member of SOGI since Sept. of '96.
If you have any questions about it, just LMK.
