Hi all,

I had this HKS EVC III Boost Controller professionally removed from my R33 GTR yesterday.

The unit itself is still in excellent condition, however a mechanic told me that the solenoid is not functioning correctly. To be honest, I dont know if this is the case, or whether it was just a sales pitch to get me to buy a new boost controller. It was working perfect before I took it to them?

Even after the solenoid was apparently broken, it was some how set manually to still hold 14 psi and did this perfectly.

I called a few spare parts places and have seen that the used solenoids to suit can be bought for anywhere from $70 - $100.

A few places told me that the solenoid may just be dirty and apparently you can just open it and clean it. Its only a few screws on the top of it so if you know what your doing, it may be easy - but I'll leave this up to the pro's as I dont want to attempt a n00b fix and break it.

On the other hand, if you just need a replacement unit - as per above its still in great condition!

Its a shame I had to remove it because its such a sexy unit with a large and well lit display.

Apparently these are still pretty sought after, I have seen them available in used condition, direct from japan on ebay for around $350 + post.

The 2 main parts - the boost control unit and the solenoid are included. Also a few random bits of wiring.You will obviously need some tubing but its not expensive and would need to be customised by a mechanic to whatever car your putting it in anyway.

I'm asking for $125 including registered post + insurance to you. However, as per usual - all offers are considered :D

Pickup is also available from the hills district.

You can contact me on 0434 929 257.

Cheers!

does it say valve controler on the unit bro?

Has scamble boost and so on.

If so i have the same unit in my 33gtr and be Fkd if we can get it to work correctly either.We tried to set it up 2 ways as i want to keep it because i have a remote unit on the wheel for scramble boost to add boost in for what period of time im after on a button.

Simply will not control boost no matter what settings we have it set to.

Hey mate,

Yeah this is an EVC III - the one with all the extra options like scramble - etc.

Personally, I think it may have wiped the current settings or something when they disconnected the battery and they couldnt work out how to use it without the instruction manual so told me it was rooted. But I could be wrong.

On that note, I actually have a soft copy of the manual I can PM through to you if it would help you?

I cant play with the settings on this one now obviously because its already out of the car, otherwise i'd be giving it a shot out of curiosity!

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
