Boost Controller Issues

[DAS KAMU]

Hi i have a hks evc 2 its pretty ancient and im sure it has died

i have 2860-5's on the 32gtr and just noticed that i hit 1.5 bar at a glance on my new boost gauge (hks)

so i thought to turn the evc down to minimum

the gauge yet again read 1.5 bar?

so i disconnected the evc on its little harness

and still around 1.5 bar ?

is this the stock actuators ding this as a minimum boost ?

sounds like your actuators arent opening.. maybe the solenoid is dead and isnt letting any boost pressure go to the actuators

thought so

any way to test it ?

this thing is so old may be wise to start again with a newer one?

[snozzle]

id bet its dead - has it ever been working? can ur car even handle -5's on1.5bar ? lol

not sure on how to test it but another thing u can try is make sure all the vaccum lines involving boost control are in tact and theres nothing blocking them

oops its an evc1

yeah no detonation

car runs perfect as always

there is a not in the evc manual that says to check for the audible buzz noise from the solenoid

i will have a listen in the morning

it was buzzing i remember a while ago maybe i can open it up and clean it maybe

so its always ran 1.5bar and you want to lower it? maybe the actuators / restrictors / vac line setup wont allow the turbo to go below 1.5bar

hmmmmmm could be

ive just never been able to tell

i have a new haltech going in soon i think there is a boost control option for that

[snozzle]

try bypassing the solenoid all together, put the pressure source directly to the actuators and that should be ur minimum boost level

will do

cheers for talking to me

its late as

[snozzle]

only 12 in perth

Ok i found the issue a little bit of hose coming out of the fpr is broken right open

however i don't hear that intermittent buzz noise from the solenoid anymore?

i have some silicon hose that should be cool yeah?

the black hose in the back ground

[DAS KAMU]

any gurus care to comment ?

all feed back is welcome

learning is fun

[DAS KAMU]

changed the hose and it runs a little differant (revs more stable at idle)

but ebc solenoid still not working

when it is not so hot ill trace the wire which gives it power under the dash

[DAS KAMU]

slight topic diversion

whats the best value for money boost controller

i guess it would be easier to fit seeing all the power etc is already hooked up

[DAS KAMU]

will get a haltech boost solenoid and hook it up to the new haltech i bought but am yet to fit

it will also get rid of all the boost control just on the pleanum side of the bay

[DAS KAMU]

can any one advise if the above is good bad etc?

cheers

[DAS KAMU]

if i go the haltech boost controll solenoid

would i need to "t" piece both turbos into the solenoid?

Yes. Ur tuner will know how to set i up. He will have to tune the boost settings in the dyno or road tune
