Hey, I just bought the HKS EVC V and got it installed. The problem is I don't know how to set it up. It didn't come with instructions so I called HKS and they faxed me instructions for a quick set up. The problem with that is, they are confusing and hard to read. If any body could walk me through it I would really appreciate is. I am anxious to see what my evo can do with it.

im looking at the same ebc.........when you have it setup please tell me what you think.......oh do you need to run a boost gage with that or does it have one built in?

Okay I tried to set it but I still can't get it right, I think I spiked to high, my car bogged down in third and my service engine light came on?

I would appreciate any input on this?

thanks

Assuming the install is correct, adjust the settings to 0 on both A and B volume. Set your peak hold at what you want...I don't know what mods you run, so be safe at 19psi. If you exceed 19psi, or what you set it for, it shuts down and goes back to stock map.

Now, I set my A volume at 40 and your B volume at 80. My peak is set @ 22psi. For me, 40 = 16.8psi and 80 = 21.8psi.

Adjust your volumes according to your preferances in third gear on the highway.

Avoid scramble boost for now. To confusing and not necessary for setup.

Are these the instructions they faxed you?

no they actually faxed me the evc v instructions, but they where confusing, I think my install was bad, my boost is max when it is 0 or 100 and when the evc is off.

Your car will revert back to the stock boost settings when the EVC is off. Did you run the lines to the proper place on the stepper motor?

to clarify this, just because it confused me too when i shut the evc off, stock boost for the evo is 11-12 psi, that is the stock boost of the wastgate with the stock selonoid off, that you most likely disconnected when you installed the evc.

are you using the psi version or the kpa? psi also has a offset adjsustment that you should really play with it makes the car react quiker, but a warning it will get fustrating because as you adjust the offset, boost will cahange and you will over boost many times till you get it just right. you will have to adjsut the peak boost as you adjust offset values to lower boost but once the offset is where you like it boost comes on faster and stronger.

its very confusing to right it down but if you go out driving and fool with it you will understand.

Just be sure to set youre volume low when you first start. Everyones volume is different. When I was using it, 40 would give me 25-26lbs of boost.
