seems to me the ebc isnt doing its job properly, I experinced a similar probelm with my blitz EBC and probelm was the hoses running to the solonoid where to long so now i have ones that are about 15 to 20 cm and its fine, somewhere in the manual it says about making sure the hoses arent to long

Dont you mean too low?

Gain usually aims to ramp boost on harder the higher the setting.

Do you have a printout? Ideally the boost curve should ramp up to 1.1 (if thats your desired level) and flat line across the graph.

If its not close to that the ebc hasnt been set up properly.

Would the EBC still do its job if there isn't enough preload on the wastegate actuator? As not all EBCs are at 0% duty cycle until close to full boost are they? They are ~10% for the ones I Googled, which would suggest this would not cover up for a wastegate with not enough preload. It is possible to bridge the hoses that go to the EBC to rule out the EBC and check the wastegate is it not?

Happy for someone with more experience to correct me.

to check the gate, take the vac line off the actuator and block it up, see when you reach your target boost, but make sure you back off when you do as it'll freeboost

if it comes on earlier than your ebc needs to be set up better. if not then try more preload if you can

Its not normal. Remove actuator and check the load on it. It needs to be pre-loaded 3mms above the wastegate arm. Once done it should be back to normal.

Also check air leaks and etc which also affects the turbo's responds.

The truth is that the EBC hoses are like 50cm for sure.. but is that the reason? I will try to rule that out.

Isnt there a Gain setting which opens the wastegate progressively early ? Sure that isnt set too high ?

It seems that the HKS EVC 5 does not have a gain setting, i've read the manual like 10 times and nothing, only set boost and scramble..

The preload i think it's correct, Stao i didn't touched the actuator, it is like you sended it.

The think is tha eventualy in the end it reaches the target boost(1 bar) but it does that at 6200rpm from what i've seen(i don't have a printout).

If there were any leaks i would have other problems too right? like missfiring or something?

Tomorow i will try to block the actuator and see if i will have 1 bar earlier.

So today i've shortened the length of the EBC hoses and it looks it is a lot better than before! It holds 0.85 in low revs instead of 0.7.

Also i found the MAF cables stripped and they were touching each other, fixed that and it went very lean.. :happy: idle it was like 16.9 AFR's and 12.5 at WOT.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
