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.

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

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.

      Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.

      Greg speaks wisdom. These dirty old Datsuns are only value when they are cheap. When they are not cheap, there is no value. Sounds contradictory, but it's true. We are now 20 years past the hey day of modifying cheap 90s JDM cars for small amounts of money. This is a different world. If you are rich and can afford not to care about what is effectively wasting money on an old Datto shitter, then I have no reason to argue against it. But if you are wanting to experience what we all experienced back in 2005 (and I bought my car last century!) then there is no way to do it.

      Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-

      Reading all this... hurts lol. I have an ENR34 5MT and I paid an inflated USA price for the car alone, had to do tons of preventative maintenance past that, and so I'm over $30K USD into the car already and haven't even touched power.  I wanted to +t it. Not even trying to make GTR numbers, I'd be happy with 250hp.  Can I get away with paying much less to make that happen?
