LiQuid IcE Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hey this may sound like a dumb question and NO I haven't tried it yet but.... Installed a HKS evc the other week and need to calibrate it. Don't have anywhere I can boot the car to do this, and don't wanna do it on the street ....so was wonderring if it is safe for me to jack the car up, put it on stands and drive it. (Like an excersise bike:) ) Or do I risk the car jumping off the stands or something worse? It actually sounds quite stupid to me but was wonderring if its possible? Thanks!

paulr33 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 its not safe and even if you did it, its not accurate. the road will give different load rating and affect how the solenoid will turn on and off. just do the self learn in a quiet street or private road somewhere. youll need about 100meters odd to do it, so it should be fairly easy. sit in 3rd gear. take off in 3rd (youll have to ride the clutch) then full throttle till it beeps and changes to -2- then do a u-turn, repeat until you get to -1- and then finally it will change to normal operation mode Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/130556-is-this-safe/#findComment-2415963 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it won't work you need the load. Dyno would be the safest way Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/130556-is-this-safe/#findComment-2415975 Share on other sites More sharing options...

saff_cossie Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 To perform this acurately you must do it in your garage facing a major supporting wall of the property. Joke by the way! As others have said, definately do not attempt it! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/130556-is-this-safe/#findComment-2421106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_the_man Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 yeah just put the nose up against the garage wall and go hard with the gas pedal. let the car change gears as it needs to. you should prolly have your sister stand to the side of the car with a big palm leaf to blow cool air into the radiator... better to be safe than sorry right?
