HKS EVC! Need advice on setup! thanks

[nitekid]

Hi all, I recently just got myself a HKS evc boost controller and there are 2 questions which i need advice on .

1st need advice on the scramble Boost mode. For eg, my boost is set at 1 bar and i wan it to run on 1.3 bar when on scramble boost.

1) So should i set it at 0.3bar for scramble boost because 1bar + 0.3Bar = 1.3bar.

2) Or should i set it straight to 1.3 bar on scramble boost? hence it will read and give me 1.3bar?


2nd question There is also these setting when i 1st press mode, which state 4 but it can be adjusted higher and lower, for eg, can set to 3 or 2 or even a high of 5 or 6 etc etc.. and so what is this function?


Which is it? i am confuse....

Thanks in advance for all advice.

Thanks! Its really helpful and clear lots of my doubts...1.3bar!?!? just for eg. Going to change my turbo soon. Might be taking the Apexi RX6 turbo kit...
So what max boost do u think a stock turbo can take safely ?

I would expect efficiency to go after 1.2 bar...

1.2 would be wicked!are u pleased with the controller is it a good job?

I use it and its very easy to set and use. However, it is a basic EBC, not as fiddly as an AVC-R or EVC6

I'm new to all this EVC stuff, but how are the new features in EVC 6 useful.
In practical terms.

I think the benefit to the new EVC is that the boost can be fine tuned (like the AVC-R) and it displays a few readings from the ECU (like the AVC-R). If you like to 'set and forget', these features won't be of any use. An AVC-R is incredibly tunable, however, you need a fooking degree to make full use of it all.

With the new EVC 6 you can create a boost map for either speed or rpm.
I think it also has a new stepping motor.

Setting it up should be similar to the EVC 5 if you disregard the boost map bit.

I got the EVC 6 mainly because I think it looks good and THE HKS series is supposed to be very easy to setup and hold boost like crazy. The fact that there is only one unit on the new EVC was also one thing a liked.

This will fill my hole above the stereo nicely being 1/2 DIN size. Just gotto get an Greddy informometer now to fill out the rest of the hole
