Hi,

Need some help on an install of HKS EVC III. Its the HKS electronic boost controller.

My current setup also has HKS SSQV blow off and HKS type S intercooler. Currently I have a 2 stage bleed valve (one tap in engine bay i never use) and one in cabin.

NOW... firstly just installed the FMIC and there is a outlet that I have plugged on the intercooler pipe for a hose... is it for boost controller or blow off or both?

My blow off is installed near the plenum, with one hose coming from top with a tee that the in cabin tap goes too. There is then another hose from the bottom of blow off leading somewhere, i dont know, i think back into another plenum hose.

There is another hose and tee piece where the other tap is down the front of car near air filter which attaches i think to the waste gate actuator.

How do I remove the manual setup and where do the 3 hoses from the HKS solenoid unit go????? Obviously 2 of them will go where the manual tap setup was connected ie plenum and actuator, but the 3rd?

Shall i run a hose from the blow off straight to the intercooler pipe outlet that I have plugged??

Any help is much appreciated...

one goes to the charge pipe (the nipple on the intercooler pipe), one from the pressure source (just t-piece a plenum vacuum hose), then the other is to the wastegate actuator (hat looking device next to the turbo). The manual should tell you which of the 3 nipples on the solenoid goes where.

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
