Hi,

Was needing a bit of advice on installing the above items......

I lack a bit in experience with car electrics, so a coupla questions

1. Have decided to install the HKS EVC 3 myself, what the best soource wires for the ignition power wire and location for earth to be attached to? Not too good with the soldering in confined places (up under dash) so is just twist and taping enough? Anyone used the splice connectors??

2. The S-AFC I may try to install, does anyone have any experiences or recommendations?? its the older 5 dial type

3. Finally, anyone recommend anywhere to get the SAFC maybe installed but mainly tuned on a dyno, and how much?

Thanks in advance

Will

I can really only answer question one for you. The best place is right under the steering console right behind the key barrel. (earth can be anywhere that you can get and earth, not important) but you really should solder. It is the only way to get long term truly secure connections.

Out of interest can I ask what you paid for the EVC 3?

Mick.

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
