st3ph3n Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Peter, got a couple of ebay sources saved in my ebay favourite shops. Will check them at lunch (I have actual work to be doing this morning!) and get back to you. There's a seller called 5400rpm and they're usually a decent price with that one. Plus if you're going to order then I might want a couple of wee things and we could go halfers on the postage if yer interested?
st3ph3n Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Peter, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...DME:B:FSEL:US:1 - limited edition black one would look sweet with the Subaru plastic fantastic interior. That's the seller I was mentioning too. Usually well priced. I'm wanting the defi controller v2 to replace the v1 STI one I have as I want the longer playback etc. and that's the cheapest I think. Plus I fancy one of the STI radiator caps []

st3ph3n Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Peter, will email the guy and ask if he can do a good deal on the postage. []
AlanG Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Is it for your own car Peter? Just a thought but I found when i had the GEMS ecu, i had better boost control just using the Apexi solenoid and letting the ecu control the boost. The AVC-R is nice to have the "in-gear" boost control though, yet i'm led to believe the latest GEMS software also has "in-gear" boost control in them.

Yes it is Alan.My own boost control is all over the place...i don't think my GEMS has in gear boost control as Colin Greers said that in 6th gear the boost went off the scale so i need a better boost controller!!! Can you advise more info Alan.??? Thanks
AlanG Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Hi Peter. You've had your GEMS for a while so will probably be the 16 bit processor as i did. The later 32 bit versions have numerous additional features i'm told, one of them being "in-gear" boost control, though i don't know of anyone running this new version. When we mapped my car on the GT30R we couldn't get a flatline boost control using the Subaru 3 port solenoid. It was okay ish but felt it could improve with either a better solenoid or air injectors, so we tried the Apexi solenoid. Boost control after that was spot on and basically held a flat line when it spooled up to it's peak of 1.9 bar and stayed there, whereas before i would get overshoot. Good thing too cause i didn't fancy having to fork out for air injectors! They're so expensive. The GEMS has the ability to regulate the frequency the solenoid runs at rather than a set figure, yet despite also trying the original solenoid in a different frequency, the Apexi was far better.
fai17 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Posted August 17, 2006 Hi Alan Thanks for the info but do i : 1. Get and Apexi solenoid and where do i get one. 2. Get an Apexi AVCR I just don't know what to get or to do......the car is going great the now running 1.7bar but not holding there...i feel a better boost controller will make it even more awesome. Thanks
sma01 Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Peter, why dont you try speaking to Steve Simpson about this??if anyone knows their stuff about the gems management then its him...... scott

st3ph3n Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Not gonna get better than that Peter. Always got the risk of the vat man catching you when you import from abroad.

AlanG Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 On my car with the different spec over the years, i've always found GEMS to have very good boost control. I'm wondering if you have a different type of issue Peter in which case a different boost controller may not actually help you. Can you give more detail on what is actually happening on your car as it is just now? With regard to an Apexi solenoid, Steve Simpson sells solenoids which look identical to the Apexi unit. We tried his version on my car as he thought it may give an even better resolution and hence better boost control than the Apexi unit. The result was identical. I'm not sure of the exact price but i think it was in the region of £45-£50, which may be cheaper than trying to source an Apexi solenoid (if indeed needed) and a lot cheaper than an AVC-R which may not be needed in the first place! If you're working tonight i can pop in and see you as i will be in Paisley.

Thanks for coming down to explain a few things to me....we should have went for a spin to see what you think is really needed...maybe next time when you are through this way as i don't know when the mapper is coming back up to Greersport.
Gumball Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Peter i was looking at one and Andy forrest reckoned that i didnt need one but if i wanted something to look nice then he would give me one. Do you need one really?
AlanG Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Yeah, i'd like that Peter, sounds like a well sorted car. I'll drop you a Pm next time i'm in your area. []
