This is one of the most advanced
boost controllers on the market today. It is packed with many features such as
programmable boost settings and many more.
The AVC-R is a digital boost controller that allows the
user to modify the boost pressure level on turbocharged vehicles. While there
are many boost controllers on the market, none of the other includes as many
features as the AVC-R, period. Despite all of the complex features included the
unit, the AVC-R is flexible enough to be used by beginners. Entry level users
need only to input a desired boost level and the AVC-R's trademark self learning
CPU processor does the rest.
The AVC-R also uses a highly durable, fast
action solenoid valve to physically control the boost . The valve movement
(Boost Duty Cycle) can also be modified. Raising the duty cycle increases boost
response, while lowering the duty cycle will slow boost response. This feature
allows boost response adjustment for varying turbo sizes. Since larger turbos
take longer to spool up ( bad low end response) the duty cycle should be raised
under lower RPM's for better response. The opposite should be done for smaller
turbo's ( excellent low - mid range response, but limited top end power.) A'PEXi
engineers address this issue by including extra menus for RPM based boost
control. Drag racers may want to utilize the Gear based boost control function.
Aside from the basic functions above, the AVC-R has a Start Duty Setting (allows
the boost to momentarily overshoot according to gear).
The AVC-R also
includes a Scramble Boost function which allows the user to momentarily raise or
lower the boost level at the push of a button. Raising the boost level is
commonly used when an extra burst of power is needed (ex. entering a freeway).
This feature can also be used in drag racing. The driver can set the main boost
level to a low setting for maximum traction then, once full traction is
achieved, the scramble boost can allow the vehicle to boost full power.
The AVC-R displays data in three different modes: Numerical, Analog, and
Graph. Numerical Mode allows the user to monitor up to four different parameters
in numbers and also shows peak hold values on demand. The Analog Mode displays
up to two values in an easy to read meter style display. Peak Hold is also
included in this function. The Graph Mode offers real time graph plotting with a
Ghost map trace feature built in. The graph can replay movement up to 60
seconds.
