hey all,

i just installed my hks evc3 :aroused: and gave it a fang and it seems ive got the some problemo's

- can't see boost below 0.74 bar

when in setting mode, im unable to scroll below 0.74 bar for some strange reason. not that i mind but i want to make sure the plumbing and everything is correct because no matter the car goes to about 9psi regardless, even if i set the boost to 0.90 bar its still about 9psi. on the stock solenoid it would run at 5psi then 7psi so it doesn't seem (well i think) that its got a different wastegate spring ?

- turning unit off does nothing

in the sense my boost does get set less or more

i mean by going from green to red mode and also cutting power to the unit

- unit doesnt show current boost level

this is because i haven't plumbed it in the manifold (will fix later)

well at least my understanding of it is, corrections anyone?

If I go boost set, and choose low mode its on 0.74 bar then if I goto high and set it to 0.90 not much happens really. It still seems to the go the same.

Has anyone seen this before? Port 1 goes to intercooler pipe, Port 2 goes to actuator and port 3 goes no where (soon to be fixed). The car feels to pull more and certaintly responds better so the boost feels like its there. I am using the stock guage so its probably out of whack but I should still be able to set the unit below 0.74 bar shouldnt I ?

I've checked manual, google, forum search and wiring plumbing

I still have stock intercooler and exhaust (soon to be changed)

Any ideas would be great thanks

fear not, i have indentified one issue. the scan of the hks evc 3 manual i have is blurry and the numbers on the solenoid don't go in order

They go:

2 3 1

I thought it was:

1 2 3

1=intercooler 2=actuator 3=manifold pressure sensor

Will correct tomorrow, this should correct set 0.90 not working :P

Any ideas re: cant see any lower than 0.74 ?

on mine i had it set to .60 bar and .75 bar when i was running the stock turbo

was already set like that when i had the car tho

if i had my manual for it here i could tell u how to do it but my mate has it atm :P

i fixed the incorrect plumbing and the display now shows how much boost

however no matter what i set it wont boost over .045bar no matter how hard i try

ill do a full reset and get it to do its self learning evc mode and see if that helps

okay tried full reset and i cant even start the learning mode

it displays the '3" and its waiting, the manual says take off in 3rd and rev out until it beeps. the unit never beeps and i cant get out. awesome. double checked piping and tried it the other way around, 5psi non stop and just keeps displaying "3"

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
