Hi all,

I had this HKS EVC III Boost Controller professionally removed from my R33 GTR yesterday.

The unit itself is still in excellent condition, however a mechanic told me that the solenoid is not functioning correctly. To be honest, I dont know if this is the case, or whether it was just a sales pitch to get me to buy a new boost controller. It was working perfect before I took it to them?

Even after the solenoid was apparently broken, it was some how set manually to still hold 14 psi and did this perfectly.

I called a few spare parts places and have seen that the used solenoids to suit can be bought for anywhere from $70 - $100.

A few places told me that the solenoid may just be dirty and apparently you can just open it and clean it. Its only a few screws on the top of it so if you know what your doing, it may be easy - but I'll leave this up to the pro's as I dont want to attempt a n00b fix and break it.

On the other hand, if you just need a replacement unit - as per above its still in great condition!

Its a shame I had to remove it because its such a sexy unit with a large and well lit display.

Apparently these are still pretty sought after, I have seen them available in used condition, direct from japan on ebay for around $350 + post.

The 2 main parts - the boost control unit and the solenoid are included. Also a few random bits of wiring.You will obviously need some tubing but its not expensive and would need to be customised by a mechanic to whatever car your putting it in anyway.

I'm asking for $125 including registered post + insurance to you. However, as per usual - all offers are considered :D

Pickup is also available from the hills district.

You can contact me on 0434 929 257.

Cheers!

does it say valve controler on the unit bro?

Has scamble boost and so on.

If so i have the same unit in my 33gtr and be Fkd if we can get it to work correctly either.We tried to set it up 2 ways as i want to keep it because i have a remote unit on the wheel for scramble boost to add boost in for what period of time im after on a button.

Simply will not control boost no matter what settings we have it set to.

Hey mate,

Yeah this is an EVC III - the one with all the extra options like scramble - etc.

Personally, I think it may have wiped the current settings or something when they disconnected the battery and they couldnt work out how to use it without the instruction manual so told me it was rooted. But I could be wrong.

On that note, I actually have a soft copy of the manual I can PM through to you if it would help you?

I cant play with the settings on this one now obviously because its already out of the car, otherwise i'd be giving it a shot out of curiosity!

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
