Is This Safe?

[LiQuid IcE]

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!

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

No it won't work you need the load.

Dyno would be the safest way

[paulr33]

take it to ray's workshop, he can sort it out for you, he has a dyno

[Jetdat]

definately do NOT do this for so many reasons!

[R33-Lovr]

this is a question with multible choices and the answers are

A- NO

B- NOOOOOOOOO

C- NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

you make your choices, and learn from your mistakes

Haven't we seen that old training video.... ah......... Ferris Bueller's Day Off ?

Bad idea

[LiQuid IcE]

hehe ok thanks everyone!

my cars auto by the way but I'll take your advice

[mr_crust]

the second u give it a bit of gas the car will jump of the jacks...take a look at most dynos, even they strap the car down so it wont move

[WazR32GTSt]

please tell me you were joking.......

[LiQuid IcE]

like i said it sounded stupid but still though I'd ask and risk being flamed

LMAO! the ferrari out the window and down the mountain...... classic!

[paulr33]

perform the self learn with snow mode on

you need to make it laggy so the solenoid can learn the cycle correctly

[SS8_Gohan]

what exactly does a HKS EVC do?

[saff_cossie]

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!

[dan_the_man]

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?

[paulr33]

its a boost controller

[SS8_Gohan]

right right....

hahaha, poor guy's getting hammered

so why does it need to "learn"?

[assyrian4evaa]

not to mension it will overheat!!!
