Just remember even if k's are geunine they start to move around the 100,000 mark or there after. But 38,000 should match up perfectly on the odo.

I had a look at the odo and nothing was wrong the mech i brought along said there is no way the engine has done 38,000k but he doesn’t think it's gone over 70,000k.

But with that in mind I still bought him, handed the cheque over last night, I'm picking him up at lunch today.

Anyone know where I can get a 2-point immobiliser fitted to cover insurance until I get paid for a proper alarm, and how much $$$, I would say not too expensive as it will be ripped out in a few days.

NEED HELP

There is a HKS Automatic boost controller in the new car and it has a different measuring system to Aust. It's running about 3-4 p and that wont do so does any one have some web sites i can go to, I don't even know what model it is?? Or if anyone has run into this prob before.

what does it look like? can you get a pic?

I'll get one tonight. Thought of that when I put the message up!!

Never had a boost controller before so its hard to explain

It's got the guage with the 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and has four buttons pwr, up, down and mode.

And on the left it has a screen and when I start the car it varies between -300 and up to -550 ????

When i press mode you can go up or down between 1.00 and .75

Wouldn't have a clue I'm going to take it to the mech I brought with me when I bought the car and see what he says?

i wuold also assume that .5 1.0 and 1.5 are BAR readings, .5 bar = ~7psi,  1bar = ~14.5psi and 1.5bar = ~22psi

So what I was thinking, when I press the mode it is currently on .99, so if i were to go down towards the .75 the psi would increase??? What do you think??

no... if it is bar

.99bar = 14.35psi

.75bar = 10.87psi

Also, if you have the standard turbo, I would def not push it past 14psi...

Well at .99 the max boost going through is 3 - 4 so i figured if i go towards .75 it will increase the psi???

Also it only goen up to 1.00 max .75 min.

These Japs mechs have it backwards it seems to me or someone might have installed it wrong thats the reason I havent been touching it. What do you think???

HKS EVC III (or EVC 3)

Here's the feature list for the EVCIII:

- 3 boost settings: low, high, and manual. Low goes up to 1.0

bar (1.0 bar is 14.7 psi), high and manual go up to 2.0 bar.

- Digital boost meter, reading in bar only. Updates about 2 or 3

times per second.

- Boost is adjustable in one-hundredths of a bar (.01 bar/.147 psi)

- "Offset feature. Alters actual boost curve of turbocharger. This

feature gives you an adjustment window for the self learning boost

adjustment mode." I don't really understand what this is or how

it works.

- Scramble boost feature: allows you to increase boost above low/high

settings at the push of a button, for a given period of

time. You can specify how much boost increase you want and how

long you want it to last. There's a connector for an external

switch you can mount anywhere.

- Boost warning feature: you can set the warning threshold to whatever

amount you want (up to 2.0 bar) and if boost exceeds that level the

EVC will blink and beep, and will instantly return wastegate

operation to stock levels.

- Switch-configurable wastegate type (integral or external).

- Serial port: supposedly for interfacing with other HKS units

- Fuzzy logic: supposedly manages the wastegate better than straight

digital logic.

SBC is the scramble boost button - allows you to increase boost above low/high settings at the push of a button, for a given period of time. You can specify how much boost increase you want and how long you want it to last. There's a connector for an external switch you can mount anywhere.

Kind of like the 'overtake boost' feature of some of the newer units

just leave it oin low (14psi)

your HKS gauge is in the bar format as someone already mentioned, this is just in a different reading scale compared to PSI (1 bar = 14.5psi) therefore on a PSI gauge it would be at 14.5

Anyway, just keep it on low boost or below 14.5psi (which is below one bar on the gauge) and your car will be fine. You can determine what its hitting (maxboost) when you drive your car and give it a hit right up to redline, just watch the gauge... if its hitting over 14.5psi, try and get someone locally (like a shop) if you cant figure out how to turn it down.

It's not too high, its prob too low my mech and I almost red lined and he said it was running 3 psi, so I'm just Wanting to switch it up to see how he goes

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
