hi all just had a lovly morning fitting my boost controler back on after having it disconected.
does any 1 know the settings for the hks evc 3 as all it does is over boost
Gain ratio settings and also max boost psi/bar as its set to boost to 8 bar at the mo
oh and what would be the best clutch to fit as now it seemed to slip abit lol 1 thing after another :cool :evillaugh
thank you for any help you could give me its on a 92 fd3 btw :)
Hey Craig,
I\'ve got the original HKS EVC which works a treat at controlling a boost spike I had after de-catting.
It hasn\'t got gain ratio, but are you saying you set it for 0.8 bar and it over boosts?
Have you tried it turned off? Should get 0.5 bar. If not perhaps you haven\'t disconnected the vac pipe from wastegate actuator to wastegate solenoid valve?
i set it for 0.8 did not know what the right max boost is for a rex when i turn it off it works like it used to and everything is ok at 0.5.Its the other settings ect on it that im unsure of, what they should be set to. It had been in the car befor but not when i had it they had put red and white dots on the pipes to conect it back up so that was no prob.Its just the settings on the unit its self im unsure of as it seems to back the car off and some god awful beeping sound comes on and will not go off :?
Stock boost is 0.7 bar. What mods have you got, dont wanna run too lean with too much boost.
Sounds like an overboost warning beep? Mine doesn\'t have that.
Take a look at this website and you\'ll see a link for the evc3 instruction manual.

it only boosts to 0.5 always has well since i got it. cant say i have to many mods uprated rad and intercooler and a feed induction kit kps racing zorst. i think it might be running lean as it flames in most gears .lol but im told they all do that.
ill go over the manual and see if i can see anything thank you for ya help m8
It was prob only boosting to 0.5bar because the wastegate solenoid valve was disconnected when they originally fitted evc.
Sounds like you have a de-cat mid pipe same as me, that\'s a big mod in itself.
Much gd fun tho, mine shoots 10 ft flames lol!
0.7 bar is still safe AFR with stock ECU (some say it isn\'t), but anything more is risking det. I run at just over 0.8 (12psi) and haven\'t had any probs yet. Thinking about an Apexi FC tho to be safe.
just tryed setting it up off the manual cant get it to work right :( so have turned it off so should be back to stock but she now does not tick over right and chugs like fuel is not getting through :( i could cry

Post a pic of it up as I don\'t remember off the top of my head what they evc 3 looks like. Some of the models are quite the opposite for setting up.
If you get a pic I can instruct you how. Probably only getting that boost due to not setting the gain.
ill get a pic sorted but the problem with the car now is that it chugs and trys to gut out is not ticking over right at all ill try and sort out a sound file of it.its like say you turn a corner in to hi gear and there is not enough fule getting through so the car chugs well its like that but im in the right gear:?
here is a pic ill have ta get a better 1 you can just make it out in top of the Steering Wheel (//%5BIMG%5Dhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/craig-york/Craig4.jpg)[/IMG]
I can\'t see clearely but I think I recognise it. to have approx .8 bar of boot set your boost to .8 bar and set the gain to approx 85 and it should be fine if all wired up ok.

I dont like the sound of the chugging Craig, how high you been boosting? Are you on stock ECU? Hope you haven\'t chucked a tip mate. Mine chugged like that when I did, and would struggle like feck to tickover with air con turned on. Is it high mileage?
well she has dun 63000km but was rebuilt by pip about 5-6 months ago it was all run in well and the car has been running fine as stock on stock ecu boosting to 0.5 now with the evc on i set it to boost to 0.8 and all goes to pot.if it has chucked a tip how much was it to fix? is there any chance i could of just dun somthing to the settings on the ecu and just resetting that would fix it.
Thank you all for your help
You should be ok boosting at 0.8 , did you get any big spikes over 1bar when you were testing it yesterday? Do u use ordinary unleaded in it?
What rpm is it tickin over at now?
she only went to 0.8 nothing over i run her on Optimax only stuff she seems to work with runs realy odd with bp she tickes over at just under 1000 rpm around 800 mark but she always sat it that when warm and sat at 1500 for a few mins when cold.im going to put the old piping back on and take the evc out just hope it goes back to norm will try resetting the ecu as well ya never know just praying its not a tip as i will have to get rid if it is,what was the cost btw when yours went ?
The cost was a re-build, but had done 65k miles anyway.
Mine was about 500rpm at idle, rough as feck and wouldn\'t tick over with air con turned on - just struggled. Boost guage was jumpy at idle too. Still pulled like a train tho!
If urs idles at 800 thats gd, so its just chugging when you floor it?
no just when going slow on pick up if i drop it down a gear and boot it she is just as norm and everything behaves the same boost turbos the lot its just at low revs going slow i dont sopose it could be anything funny like my clutch as i have been needing a new 1 and all it did was burn when i had the evc hooked up they dont do that when they slip do they
No, clutch wont cause that.
I wonder if its a bad O2 sensor , when u floor it it goes into open loop so would drive normal again.
Or try this 1st, being as it only started happening after u connected the evc, did u dislodge the ground strap - firewall to UIM? I\'ve heard of similar symptoms caused by bad ground.
Is it worse with A/C turned on?
You could try adding an earth strap from battery neg to chassis.
ill take the evc out on saterday only time i have to look at it because of work :( been looking in to an earth strap looks like they are a good idea :)
just taken her for a run i sat her on the drive for 5 mins ticking over and she seemed ok so took her out with air con on as you said and revs did not drop but still does not pick up right im wondering if it could be the sparkplugs or somthing / still be the weekend befor i can fully have a look :)
right got the car back to stock well evc off anyway ,i think its just not firing right and have got to thinking that all of the cars probs are because it needs better spark plugs as its just running the stock 1\'s at the mo.going to get some on order and have a go at changing them the oil and fule filter at the same time
