Profec A / Any EBC query

[Weq]

I just recently install a Profec A, and from the moment i turned it on, the control/soleniod unit made a heep of wierd 'computer' and clicking sounds. After everything was setup up, the unit still makes these noises when the car is turned off but the ignition is on. It seems to me like the soleniods are constantly opening and closing! Is this supposed to happen? All my vacume hoses are setup correctly, and the controller itself is working fine at controlling boost?

Another query, does anyone have the Profec A instruction manual (pdf or other electronic form?) my email is weq@mooh.org, id apprecaite it!

Thanks for ur help!

Weq - I know that alot of solenoids will make a bit of a sound when it initially turns on, but shouldnt keep making it. A mate had an almost new HKS EVC5 and the guy he bought it off didnt have the in line filters installed and had a lot of blow by oil inside.. Im pretty sure he had similar sounds too you and after a quick clean it stopped the sounds.

Re manual, i downloaded a manual from the net when I had my profec a (needed it to set it up properly). Do a search on google or try trust.com - there is a pdf manual around somewhere!

Noise is normal It even says it in the manual, so dont't worry about it

I have emailed you the instructions as well, make sure its set up properly and it should be fine

NOTE - with the learn procedure 'P1', keep doing full boost runs in 3rd and 2nd gears, do as many as possible, as it will make the boost curve more stable, then P2 mode, use 3rd gear

I have found this works the best

I think for P1 i did it in 4th gear... hard to find a bit of road to do that 10 times in a row

Seriously guys, really apprecaite the info! I was a bit confused with the P1 and P2 learning modes and i didnt spend much time in them (without hte manual, i didnt know!) Boost holds decently atm, but its a bit jumpy up top. I'll think i'll do another setup and see if it will hold boost better.

One last question, regarding the learning mode, what boost level does is it supposed to reach during setup? Like stock wasteage levels? or something preset on the unit?

You get into learn mode by holding power and over take boost down for about 6 seconds or so, it will then come up with -

P1 - learns the stock boost curve, do as many runs as possible, 2nd, 3rd and even 4th if you have a nice big long non-cop patrolled road Do as many as you can

Press the power button, it will then go into P2 mode. Press the power button again when you are ready to go, and it will start.

This mode is measures pressure drop between turbo and inlet, one full boost (try to start from around 2500rpm until rev-cut) is alll that is needed, if it is sucessful, it will come up with a digital boost gauge, if it doesn't P2 will still be displayed. Keep doing it until it works

Good luck

P.S - dAVE, I think I have emailed the manual to you before as well??

I got ur manual once, thanks heeps.

Apprecaite the help, all my questions have been answered

Chris32 - yep, i think it was you

also found a site on the net that had about 20 manuals for all different electroinc stuff but couldnt find it in search earlier.
