Hi all.

I'm looking at hooking my EVC up tomorrow and I can't for the life of me find an M35 tutorial which includes the hose plumbing. All focus on the wiring, so I've got that covered.

But what I'm looking for, being a turbo noob, is where I need to plumb the stepper motor in. I know what I need to plumb it into based on the EVC install instructions, but not where those plumbing points are.

Any suggestions/pointers?

Thanks!

You are looking for the hose that runs across the front of the motor and comes from the intake pipe. If you followthis hose across from the drivers side to the passenger side you will find it comes to a T intersection. At this point you need to make the connections. The section running further towards the passenger side and downwards to the bottom of the motor is the hose running to the actuator on the turbo. You need to remove the T piece and plum your Boost controller in to the hoses at this point. If you follow the T section towards the firewall (this is the hose that you will not use anymore). You will see it goes to the Boost actuator. You need to LooP this actuator off.

The 3 rd nippleon the actuator goes to the intake and this should be blocked off.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Andy's words describe it perfectly, but here's a pic (I've posted elsewhere) which could help those following on.

Let us know how it goes Ryan.

Cheers Leon.

I was playing with the hoses today and saw the exact T piece, but I wasn't sure which hose went where (although you could make assumptions...)

Andy's backed those up, so should be all good.

Wiring looks like the easy part! (famous last words...)

So I didn't get to this today, but when I was playing around I was wondering, if I put the solenoid under the new drivers side battery cover, are the air lines going to be too long?

HKS are pretty insistent in the book on making sure the hoses are as short as possible, and I noticed doing a search that Andy, you put yours in the passenger side. I could fit it there, but it's a bit of a hassle, and I'd prefer to fit it in the drivers side where there is more room and I can put the FPR and boost controller side by side.

I dunno, boost air moves pretty fast in those small hoses, but maybe..?

I say give it a go where it fits for you & see if it works. Chances are it'll be fine.

Alternatively, can you either a) use the factory solenoid instead of the supplied one (cut off wires & use existing plug to hook into you new controller), or b) totally remove the factory one & mount your new one on the same bracket?

And in case you're wondering, no, you won't throw a CEL or anything else. I cut mine off over a year ago & hooked the EBC up to the factory solenoid. :thumbsup:

The obvious advantage with using the OEM solenoid is that no one but you will know it is controlled by the EVC.

I know what I'll be doing when I get off my arse & fit one.

Hey Dale, you've actually mounted your screen where I was thinking of putting it. Looks good.

I've got an EVC6, so it has a small stepper motor, which is fairly big compared to what you've got there (which could almost pass as stock).

Since I already have the motor and everything I won't be using the OEM solenoid.

I'll mount it where I'd prefer to mount it for now and just run the hoses and short as I can, and then see what happens. IF I have to move it, so be it.

Cheers guys!

I put mine in the same place as the stock one its ok

Looks nice Dale.

Did you block up the small pipe on the intake when you removed the hose? If not, there will be a small amount of unmetered air getting in. I don't think it will change much though.

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      By PranK · Posted

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
