Does anyone own one of these? Does anyone know how to use it properly?

Whenever i turn mine on, and set it to .9 bar or even 1 bar boost, the turbo ALWAYS goes over the set amount. Whereas if it is off, the turbo happily spools up to .8bar and stays at .8bar.

I dont know why if i set it .9bar it wont stay at .9bar.. instead it'll go up to .9bar, then over.9bar and then the needle on my boost guage goes a little crazy till it starts beeping at me.

ive got the unit and can remember the self reset

have you had this controller working before?

or is it one youve just installed? if youve just installed or brought it 2nd hand from someone try the self learn its in the manual

I've got one of these in my car, work's perfectly.

You need to activate the learn function so it know's how your car boost's and so forth. Usually this done on the dyno so you are able to load it up in 3rd gear, but can be done during driving.

I have the manual, both installation and instructions. If you need them just let me know, I can just email them to you, they are in pdf format.

Hey guys,

Just tried to set my EBC.. how the hell do you do it?

I've got the instructions - it says that the EBC should display a "3" when its ready to do the self learny thingy.. mine just stays on vacuum mode..

I just need to get it so that it stops spiking when i set it..

I dunno why it doesnt even seem to be working at all.. what are the different modes for? I've tried setting the EBC to .7bar, but my seems to just want to run .8bar.

I dont get it.. does anyone have any instructions in laymans terms?

Thanks.

To reset the module you must do the following:

With the iginition key in the on position and the power to the unit turned off, push and hold the "Mod" button. While holding the "Mod" button, push and hold the "Alt" button. Then while holding both "Mod" and the "Alt" buttons, push and hold the "Sbc" button. You should hear an audible beep.

If you do not hear a beep, your unit may not have presets programmed in the unit.

Hope this helps

Dude i wasnt aware the EVC III has an alt button. If so great if not.

Try Turning the ignition on ( so that EVC has Power to it). On the back of the EVC there is a toggle switch that is used to select either internal or external wastegate.

With ignition ON and EVC OFF press and hold SBC button in and flick the switch at the back from one to the other. ( make sure you put it back to internal or external gate)

You should now have a 3 on the display. read manual from there.

cheers

Hey guys,

Thanks for all your help..

I managed to reset the EBC, do the self learn thingy which set the boost at .76 bar

When i use the adjustment mode (by Pressing Mode Only once) and set it to .80 bar it still boosts to .76 bar. I also tried boosting to .85 bar but once the needle on the guage goes up to .8ish the needle just goes haywire and pivots back anf forth really quickly..

At this point i can also hear the induction of the air from the turbo in bursts which coincide with the needle on the guage...

Any suggestions?

Also - just curious, what happens if you set the EBC to an internal (external) wastegate if your car actually has an external (internal) wastegate?

Midnight Racer:

here is a quick guide to set the boost!

1. press Mode to go to setting mode ie. boost setting

2. select either low or high boost setting by pressing SBC while press either low/high boost setting as required.

3. when in the low/high boost setting - dial in the boost required

4. then do the rest of the settings

hope this will help!!

Does anyone know how to change the boost setting for hks evc III  ??

it work good but can not change the boost setting, how to do it??

thanks

Phil,

make sure your body valve (in the engine bay) is grounded to the chassi.

Sorry i'm like a major n00b..

where abouts would i find that?

How come you think that could be what the problem is? If the unit is not grounded.. doesnt that mean that the circuit isnt complete and hence the unit wouldnt work at all?

the valve body is the black thing with hks logo on it with the 3 tubes. this is the solenoid. make sure its attached to the cars metal chassis somewhere, wether its bolted down or fastened down with a screw

    • To plug the hole. The engine plant may not have known whether the car it was going into had a gauge or not. It was a long time ago and the integrations might not have been fully modern. Or they might not have cared because the extra inventory and processes to save a few cents on the sender might have cost more anyway. But please tell me you are not still confusing the idea of a pressure gauge sender, and an oil pressure light switch. The switch will be out there. In a separate hole. Probably with only one wire running to it. Running the light.
    • Blower needs to go low on the exhaust side, displacing the AC and PS, which you have to decide whether you want to keep and how and where to relocate if you do. Electric option for PS is, at least, helpful. Sadly, there is no workable 12V electric AC of any value. Whilst the blower is the last compression step before the throttle, and so it might seem a good idea to have it near the inlet manifold (as mentioned above), you probably want it to go through an intercooler first, so, having it on the opposite side of the car facilitates that air flow path. The turbo discharges into the blower, so proximity of the turbo's compressor outlet to the blower's inlet is nice. But then you might want to intercool that too, before boosting it again....which would probably be a ball ache. Routing pipes out to the front and back could be a bit shit. If there was room for (at least) a small (but preferably larger) water to air core on that side, then that would probably be the best approach. I guess a reasonable alternative would be to locate the blower where the alternator is (more or less, associated with the inlet manifold, per Matt's thought), and somehow incorporate a water to air core into the manifold, sort of like they do for modern blown V8s. The big difference here though is that those V8s have only the one throttle (upstream the blower) and only the one compression step (the blower) and no need for too much in the way of bypass/blowoff valves. Whereas in a twin charged 6, you do need to think about one or two bypass valves associated with the 2 compressors and you would prefer to have the intercooling done before the air has to pass through the throttle. You'd like the throttle to work approx the same no matter what the compression is doing. But if it is located in hot air stream before a cooler, then sometimes the air will be real hot, sometimes it will be quite cool, and the throttle mapping/response will be quite different between those two cases. The throttle, if sized for hot air, would be too large for cold conditions. It's all a ball ache.
    • Package SC on exhaust side. Remote mount turbo. Still a fair bit of room when you get creative on the inlet side of the motor too. Especially if you can get really creative with the welding, and effectively build it into the bottom of the inlet manifold. Would definitely take some design work, and some trial and error, to make sure flow works well still! Might be easier to just start with the Nissan March though... All the work is already done for you...
    • I'll sit down and get a post together 😁
    • The factory oil pressure sender is no longer in the car that's what is confusing me. In the Taarks adapter I have an aftermarket Bosch style pressure/temp sender and the factory temp sender only. Oil pressure is perfect. Where does the factory oil temp sender go to if there were never any gauges? Why was it there from the factory?
