hey all,

i just installed my hks evc3 :aroused: and gave it a fang and it seems ive got the some problemo's

- can't see boost below 0.74 bar

when in setting mode, im unable to scroll below 0.74 bar for some strange reason. not that i mind but i want to make sure the plumbing and everything is correct because no matter the car goes to about 9psi regardless, even if i set the boost to 0.90 bar its still about 9psi. on the stock solenoid it would run at 5psi then 7psi so it doesn't seem (well i think) that its got a different wastegate spring ?

- turning unit off does nothing

in the sense my boost does get set less or more

i mean by going from green to red mode and also cutting power to the unit

- unit doesnt show current boost level

this is because i haven't plumbed it in the manifold (will fix later)

well at least my understanding of it is, corrections anyone?

If I go boost set, and choose low mode its on 0.74 bar then if I goto high and set it to 0.90 not much happens really. It still seems to the go the same.

Has anyone seen this before? Port 1 goes to intercooler pipe, Port 2 goes to actuator and port 3 goes no where (soon to be fixed). The car feels to pull more and certaintly responds better so the boost feels like its there. I am using the stock guage so its probably out of whack but I should still be able to set the unit below 0.74 bar shouldnt I ?

I've checked manual, google, forum search and wiring plumbing

I still have stock intercooler and exhaust (soon to be changed)

Any ideas would be great thanks

fear not, i have indentified one issue. the scan of the hks evc 3 manual i have is blurry and the numbers on the solenoid don't go in order

They go:

2 3 1

I thought it was:

1 2 3

1=intercooler 2=actuator 3=manifold pressure sensor

Will correct tomorrow, this should correct set 0.90 not working :P

Any ideas re: cant see any lower than 0.74 ?

on mine i had it set to .60 bar and .75 bar when i was running the stock turbo

was already set like that when i had the car tho

if i had my manual for it here i could tell u how to do it but my mate has it atm :P

i fixed the incorrect plumbing and the display now shows how much boost

however no matter what i set it wont boost over .045bar no matter how hard i try

ill do a full reset and get it to do its self learning evc mode and see if that helps

okay tried full reset and i cant even start the learning mode

it displays the '3" and its waiting, the manual says take off in 3rd and rev out until it beeps. the unit never beeps and i cant get out. awesome. double checked piping and tried it the other way around, 5psi non stop and just keeps displaying "3"

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
