Hks Evc Vi Boost Controller

[Shayde]

Hey guys,

I recently received a HKS EVC VI (instead of the V I ordered) and have successfully installed it and have it set up to some limited extent (I.e, it reaches peak boost and holds it. I think I was lucky to make it that far).

There are still some features I'd like to be able to tinker with that are listed as features.

Does anyone else have one of these and know what each function in the menus does?

Cheers guys,

Shayde

I have this one. However the manual posted in post #2 is a manual for an EVC 4 (according to your post)

even though it was 5 in the file name. I've found this to be consistent in all english manuals I've found.

[Angus Smart]

yeah, there is alot of confusion all over the place. i spent a while looking for a manual that was for the 4. which seems to be called the 5.

you can get software to set up that controler there is a pc program avaliable

[Shayde]

On inspection of the unit, there is no jack to plug anything in to it?

[Shayde]

Also, on HKSUSA.com, they have it listed as EVC VI (6).

Did some digging..

I came across this.. Seems to be on the money, but there are a lot of screens and options I still don't understand.

installed mine over the past few days, got hold of an english translation for it, ask me any questions, ill try to answer them as i seem to have figured most of it out. Did the full boost mapping, ie throttle vs rpm boost map.

(evc5 in japan, evc6 elsewhere)

Thanks heaps for that!

[Shayde]

Yeah, I stumbled across the manual as well. Right after I worked out most of the functions just before I came across it

Can anyone advise me which is the best hose to connect the boost sensor to for a NEO engine, photos would also be great. did mine but the hose goes to some sort of electric solenoid box at the top back of engine, wondering if this would contaminate the pressure levels. thanks

Hey Guys bought same controller as well... just wondering what u guys have ur setup @ for a RB25det stock Turbo??

E.g. Base Boost 8psi, Option A= 12psi Option B=10psi and Scramble Boost = 14-15Psi for X sec... etc??? Ta

I can't seem to Control my Boost and it's reads it differently to my Autogauge about 5psi more..

Everything seems to be hooked up correctly according to the diagram.. how do u guys haver urs setup

[Shayde]

Hey guys, my EVC 6 reads well above my HKS analog gauge, seems to be a normal thing. Mine reads about 3 psi higher. Mines also set up according to the diagram and holds boost very nicely. My only peeve is that it reads the wrong values.

[Black_CSR]

Hey Shade do u have a aftermarket BOV??? my plumback return is blocked off cuz of my Bovus Maximus BOV... i'm not sure if that affects it???

Where is ur middle nipple (1) attached on ur Stepping motor.. mine is off the compressor that returns to the Turbo.., Nipple 0 is on the actuator n nipple 3 is off the return line that Tee off the regulator and the plenum... sound about right????

What was ur Initial Setup.. E.g. Max Wastegate boost @???

SeS,

Yeah, I have a low mount, internal gate. Aftermarket turbo and BoV. Same block off thing going on. I can't remember exactly without looking and it's cold outside

Okay, had a look. First nipple (on the left with the bracket facing backward) goes to actuator on the turbo. Middle nipple goes to intercooler piping. Last nipple on the right goes to the same line that all my boost gauges feed off.

My initial set up.. Just set my max boost to 12psi with boost warning set to 13.5psi and boost drop set to 3psi. All the offsets at 0.

Hope that helps!

My middle nipple doesn't go back to the intercooler nipple cuz it doesn't have one.. but instead it goes back to the compressor line which goes back to the turbo... not sure if that it?

I'll try to get a nipple on my intercooler n hook it up to that.. n c if it makes a difference

Where do u set the boost warning??? the next option after setting up max boost/stable boost is choosing the boost level for option A & B......, where is the boost drop set option???
