After multiple pms about setting the boost on the SBC i will note the following....

If you are after 10psi do the following (internal wastegate only);

go to channel1....

Switch this channel to manual

set boost to 43

set gain to 10

this is 10psi on the head, may need to adjust the boost setting up or down +5 or -5 depending on how much hose you used.

10 psi for external wastegate users.

go to channel 1

set to manual

set boost to 32

set gain to 40

once again just play with the boost number to adjust the boost value...

Also note the boost number does not relate to a certain figure (i mean its not like 40psi) its just a scale of 1-100 (1 = stock boost / 100 = max boost)

Do not play with you gain setting in manual mode unless you want to kill your clutch. Automatic cars may run a combo of like;

Channel 1

manual mode

boost set to 34

gain set to 15

This will give you a kick but is not suggest for any standard gtst... As you will kick the motor too hard and it will kick you in the back pocket. LOL

Dimentions???

The control unit (hand controler) about the size of a half a packet of smokes.

The brain box about the size of a packet of smokes but thinner.

The sol under the hood about 2 packets of smoke on top of each other.

Please note all smoke packs refered to were B&H 25 hard packs.... (Medium 12 version) LOL

Set up a HKS EVC4 on a RNN14 (pulsar) and it was a very easy unit to use, setup and fit but it looks "old" now.

Same again with an AVC-R (on the same car after he sold the EVC4). Lots of trouble with spiking boost, ECU wiring etc. In the end he sold it on and went back to HKS but got the newer EVC5 which was fantastic (but expensive).

I have an SBC-ID3 on my GTT and ran it at 17.5psi (1.2bar) on a TD05-18g and it held boost really well (no spiking) until 6000rpm when it died off to 13psi (1bar). Most likely the turbo was the cause but I never got around to finding out why it'd happened before I broke my engine (lost oil cooler hose at 80mph - 130kph)

I'll definately have the ID3 again in any turbo car I'll have (or the EVC5).

Good info Ian. I have installed a few HKS units. I just didnt like the looks of them and they have limited features compaired to Apexi and Blitz.

I have not experienced any drop off with the Blitz unit when set in manual mode. Went to dyno and the boost grapg was perfect. It was on 9.8 then touched 10.1 and up and down 0.3 psi. The graph is almost perfect, a 0.3psi fluctuation is nothing and the guy at dyno was blown away as to how acurate it was on an internal wastegate turbo.

Cheer Col

NOTE: If anyone else has had experiences with different boost controllers please feel free to write it up.

Well i guess you'll have to wait to find out. As if i were to do that today id be back tommorrow with a new topic "I blew my motor beacue i was an idiot" LOL

I will let you know, im doing one atm on a WRX. He is running 20psi atm on a bleed valve, so i convinced him he needs to go electronic. We will fit it later and monitor its progress.

NOTE: Wrx's are quite easy to work on, this should only take us an hour to fit.

Ok finished the WRX.

Took it for a run at 20psi. Hit record on the device in graph mode. Spools up to 19.7psi by 3700rpm. Then holds with minor movement of 0.4 psi threw to red line.

The graph looks nice, very fast onset and holds. She starts at around 19.7 then slightlly climbs to 20.1psi towards 5500rpm then lets down a little to 19.9 at redline.

I would call that very good. I am very happy with this result and the guy is wrapped. As his old bleed valve spiked to 25 psi every now and then. Before anyone asks about mods on this WRX ill tell you its fairly standard and yes i told him 20psi is a little to much, he srugged it off.

installed one ofthese on my GTR, when I get the chance i'll take it out and test it. As for 18 psi, I'll report on that once I have the 2530's on :) but I also have the HKS upgraded actuators!

I'd be really interested to find out your settings for the ID3 as I'm doing the same setup.

I'll play around with it tonight and let you know :)

have you installed yours yet? I just write some instructions for someone else on how to install it - I can pm you if you want!?!? pretty easy job, it would someone with no experience about 2hrs.

  • 3 months later...

So anymore feedback on these things after a few monthds of use.

Anymore feedback on how they go controlling an 8psi spring at say 20psi???

Aslo with the scramble boost funciton, can you set it for - boost as well as + boost? And is it for a predetermined elapsed time, or whislt you hold the button down...or both???

Trying to resurrect the AVCR next weekend, but thinking i need to buy a new EBC, may go another AVC-R, may try something new:)

I have an HKS EVC III (was on the car from japan), and it spikes like a bitch, and surges (goes on and off boost), it's fine if i have it 'tuned off' in stock boost. Is it true that the EVC III is pretty buggy?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
