Ok, I've got a HKS series III avc fitted and it works fine etc.

I took the car to a dyno and got all the figures etc

My car was peaking out at 15.7 psi boost according to the figures.

So if I tweak my avc up to say 2.5 bar [35psi approx.], does that mean it won't make any difference cos I top out at 15.7 [1.1 bar].

I don't understand, currently my low/high settings are 0.75/1.2 kg2/cm [which is close enough to 0.75/1.2bar]. But I could reset the HKS to anything really, from mild to wild.

Somebody know the answer????

Danny.

Thats a negative, 15.7psi at 105kph on the dyno. Dropped to 13.9 at 170kph. But still doesn't answer my original question.

Thanks for the reply though BOOSTD.

Maybe someone out there knows the answer.

The turbo WILL boost more if you adjust the boost controller! When you refer to "low and high" settings, it is either one or the other. So if you have it set on high.....15.7 is pretty close to 1.2bar. The EVC should be reset every time you perform a mod. I have found my HKS EVC4 needed to re-learn after every mod or the boost levels changed.

I don't get it, does this mean that my turbo will boost past 15.7psi, I thought 15.7psi was the limit. I can vary the boost, it has a knob I can turn on the HKS avc. But I've decided on the two settings for the High and Low switch. I can change this with the knob and /or reset the internal settings using the Mod switch any time [but probably won't].

But a turbo must have a finite boost limit, and then you buy a bigger/better one to go higher etc [realise that this is also dependant on injector, pump, exhaust sizes etc too].

They just revved it out on the dyno and gave me the sheet and graph, but I am assuming that they would have found the boost limits and applied them. They just said this is the boost and we've set yours to 0.7/1.2 and that will be safe for this car and setup. Surely they didn't arrive at this figure by chance.

I think I'm getting more confused as I go.........

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
