HKS EVC3 installation...help abt vaccum lines

[Russel_Glanza]

Hello guyz. I just got a HKS EVC 3 for my glanza.....i downloaded the installation instructions, bt couldn't figure out how to do the vacuum lines.

On the stock setup, as far as i can see, there are two nipples on the actuator: One attached to the nipple on the turbo body, and another goes to the factory boost limiter. The second nipple on the factory boost limiter goes to the intake pipe.

The instructions on the HKS EVC 3 are available at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/w.gregory2/hksevc iii.pdf (page 10).

Would greatly appreciate if anyone can see the instructions and guide me regarding the vaccum line connections. Thanks a lot.

leave it off bud thats for when you use the standard hi/low solinoied bud have a look here http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2277 to bypass the boost restriction unless you have an auto as they dony always like the restriction being removed

so you mean that i should leave the piping as shown in the link you provided, and connect the hose from the HKS solenoid to the other nipple on the actuator?

The blue line shows where the vaccum line from the second nipple leads to at the moment.

Evc

same question as me then thing you gotta block it off, but im just waiting for an answer

The actuator with 2 nipples is a dual port actuator, as explained in the installation manual of Blitz SBC at http://www.blitz-performance.com/includes/templates/2007/Manuals/Dual SBC Spec S&R.pdf. In page 5 of this manual, it says that the second port on the actuator needs to be blocked off. Will try the same this weekend. Hoping it'd solve the prob.

home friday so will give it a bash then, gonna be hard for me tho as im sure the pipe has split!

will let you know how i get on

Blocked off the second outlet on the actuator, and now it works!
Boost levels now dont exceed the limits set by the controller.

However, it feels a big laggy. Could it be due to the length of the vaccum hose from the actuator to the solenoid? Any idea whether shortening the hoses will be of any help?

 

[andy.i]

did you block the front or back nipple on the actuator?
