Hey guys i was wondering if the Blitz SBC i-color Electronic Boost Controller is it good or is it just over priced. Is it quality wise and performance wise worth the money.

 

As a boost controller, its identical to the regular non-color SBC-Id. Lots of bling, and certainly a nice unit. But functionally, you can control boost just as accurately with the regular SBC ID. Here is the link to the regular SBC-ID. I can also order the color version. http://www.forgedinternals.com/store...cat=255&page=1

 

i saw one the other day. it looks awesome. i am about to order one myself.

 

Its the best and most accurate boost controller I have used to date...and so easy to use. Which one did you see? Color or B&W.

 

me too (not the color one though). IS it worth starting a GB? seems to be a number of people interested in this boost controller.

 

Yeah, I could start one. We'd need at least 5 to make it a go...and roughly $500 shipped. There is so little margin on Blitz..and the discount levels arent that hot.

 

import them from japan, i used to get the SBC ID for 300 each or so when I bought them in Japan.

 

The color one. so if u do start up a group buy i would get the color one through u if that was an option.

 

The GB can be for either color or B&W. Charles, I believe the JDM spec version would not include PSI, but I could be wrong. I'd also get hit with heavy tarriffs on the way in. It's probably something that would be more suitable if I carried them over from Japan. Generally speaking, isnt JDM stuff more expensive?? That's why the Japanese love to come to the USA and buy Japanese electronics, such as video cameras and DVD players.

 

I'd be in on the GB if the price is right and we can do it relatively quickly.

Post it and they will come.

 

Better than e-01?

 

Much better at holding boost, and maximizing boost response, as its a dual solenoid setup. Essentially, it can wait until the last moment before opening the wastegate, and holds steady boost. The e-01 is great up to about 12psi, and then it starts to fluctuate on many cars we've tuned. And if are running a low boost car, with the blue eManage, I would still recommend it, due its integration with the Emanage blue.

 

greddy boost controllers are the worst

 

They work surprisingly well at 10psi or so. Beyond that....I dont recommend them.

 

Im in for a group buy as well if price is right.Is the Blitz a complete kit or will we need to buy sensors etc? Im only gonna use it as boost controller.

 

Was about to order a Greddy profec B. For only couple hundred more, I'd go with the Blitz SBC i-color. If around $500, Im in. Must happen soon though.

 

I'm in for the color one also. The lowest price I've seen is $659 @ turboimports, but they are sold out for the next few weeks. I think anything lower than that would be a steal since the MSRP is $888!!! Sharif what is needed for it to monitor A/F a seperate sensor or harness? Also will this cause a problem working with the EU? Sharif do you have a pic of the SBC installed in a car? Thanks

 

Hey sharif start it im in right now for $500 flat

 

looks like we have the interest...

 

There is an optional harness for $45, that allows you to input a whole slew of sensor inputs, and log and view them on the screen. That's the only option. Both versions have a little bit of lead-time to, them, as these things have been hard to come by.

With 5 people total, I can do the regular version for $500 plus $10 for shipping. (MSRP is $655), and the color version for $700+ shipping ($888 list). TurboImports doesnt have them listed on their website, and I can't watch whisper pricing. The GB prices are lower than anyone else out there.
