New Joe P. MBC inline controller

[kwiktsi]

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that I have a new MBC out. This is certainly one of the nicest looking and most compact MBC's I have seen.

You can read all about it on my site at- www.joepmbc.com/inline.html

Retail price is $50 plus shipping, however I am offering a pre-order special of $35+$5 shipping. These MBC's will be ready to ship by the end of January, at which point they will be regular price. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at sales@joepmbc.com. Thanks.
Joe

Oh that's nice. To bad I just bought one from you. These are great products guys. Get em!

 

[lcruz64]

That looks nice and good price too.

Sweet, too bad I got my original JoeP for free with the car.

 

[Kooldino]

Looks good. Does it work like your old ones? With an air outlet and all?

Thanks guys. I wanted to keep the price as low as possible. It actually came in a bit higher than I wanted it to- I had a $35 number on it from the start, but by the time I got final production costs and allowed for dealer discounts and such- I just missed it. Oh well, I figure $40 is still more than reasonable for what you get. It costs me much more to make than my XZ controller, but it assembles so much quicker- that's where I was able to save when it came to pricing them. People never consider time to build and the fact that dealers have to make their money on it too when judging the old controller based on material costs. This one should solve that problem .

Eli- email me .

Joe, just a tip on the website: you can't resize or scale the window with the full image in it. I had to save it to the desktop and view it in another program. The MBC looks great, though!

Kool- by "air outlet"- are you referring to the bleed? Yes, all ball and spring controllers need one by design. I did go a bit smaller on the blled than the original controller- I went with that size originally because it was a good compromise between fast spool up and spike, but with cars such as the MSP having such quick spooling turbos stock, I decided to go a bit smaller with the bleed. As far as other workings- it is basically the same as the other one with a slightly revised spring and finer thread pitch to make it less sensitive when adjusting.

That is because it is locked to that size. I didn't want to have a window open with a huge pic in it. I can change that if you guys think it would be better. All the images on my site are fixed window like that. Let me know.

I just thought I'd mention it because the only part of the image that it visible in the popup window is the table and there is no way to see the rest of it.

Really? Anybody else having this problem? It is working fine on my end. That's odd. I'll have to look at it some more. Thanks for the heads up!

Looks very nice. Besides the visual improvement, are there any mechanical improvements?

 

[kwiktsi]

A slightly different spring rate and finer thread pitch for less sensitive adjusting and a slightly smaller bleed hole to help prevent spiking on cars equiped with smaller turbos. Not to mention, the o-ring sealed housing prevents any extra leaking from the housing- now the only bleed is from the bleed hole.

Thanks again for all the compliments guys.

[ONRAILS]

nice! put me down for this. can I send you the original one for a credit?

Having the hardest time with it now. I almost took the screw all the way out in hopes to lower the boost, but it's not working. Still boosting past 10psi. To lower boost it is counter clock wise, right?

Unfortunately, that is a side affect of small, fast spooling turbos coupled with the restriction of the MBC, the bleed hole and the cool temps. You should be able to get it a bit lower than that though, usually around 9 psi on the MSP. The wastegate in the MSP is around 6 psi if I recall and an MBC usually adds about 2 psi due to the above mentioned issuues, past 10 sounds high. Does it level off to below 10, or just keep climbing? If it keeps climbing, it could be a broken line, bad actuator, contaminates in the MBC, etc. Shoot me an email and we can try to figure it out.

PS- sorry, no trade in's .

Oh yeah, if you go to www.joepmbc.com/mbc.html , there is a paypal link to buy the new controller and get on the list. If you do not have paypal, let me know and we can make other arrangements. Thanks.
