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

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).

      Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
