Hey guys, i have just installed the EVC 6 (the new one with color screen) and the unit showing no error when i set the target boost to 90kpa but i can only get right around 60kpa (stock boost value). I have tried reset everything and started from zero but still can't achieve the target boost. I have also tried to adjusting the offsets as described in the manual, verified the lines are correct and checked the waste gate type is correct.

I have been searching in other forum as well and said make sure to set the maximum standard boost setting to a value just below what the car makes on the waste gate spring after the EVC is installed. Tried this as well but didn't work :(

Any thoughts?

Cheers

JK

?????? An ebc can't lower your boost. If you have set you maximum boost below your wastegate pressure it isn't going to do anything.

Actually i have set the standard maximum boost at 58kpa and the target boost at 90kpa. Its stated in the manual that the abc will 'learn' from the car while achieving standard max boost and from that it will increasing the boost. Confusing.....

Hks evc doesn't lower the boost when it's set to "0". That's where you're meant to start anyways on top of the stock boost. i.e. set the evc to 0, then find the stock boost which he said 58kpa? then you set the evc to add additional 32kpa since his target boost is 90kpa.

what do you mean "max boost", I have EVC6 to ,not colour, and you have to set base boost at 58kpa and the EVC will work from there, if you have set "max boost" at 58kpa then it won't boost past that,

I set max boost at 150 on both cars just it case of spikes in lower gears

I found the "quick operating manual" for the evc6

1- on

2- pas (kpa)

3- S (internal gate)

4- max normal boost ( I see what you were saying now)

5- turn till the target kpa and set

6- offset (fine tuning for if the boost trails off up top)

If that is what you have done and the lines are round the right way and connected on the car correctly then i would say its broken, there is not much else that it could be.

how have you connected it into the car?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
