Introduction
HKS EVC
Read this instruction manual prior to installation to ensure safe and correct usage and
optimal product performance,
Product EVC
Use Boost Controller- Automotive Turbocharged Engine
Application Vehicle that operates on a DC 12V negative ground.
Part No. 45003−AK005
・A fuel controller (e.g. F-CON, AIC, etc) may be needed when raising boost
pressure with the EVC Boost Controller.
Remarks ・Some vehicles have a fuel cut function when boost is raised. To bypass the
fuel cut function, a unit such as the HKS FCD can be used. When using an
HKS FCD, a fuel controller may be required for additional fuel tuning.
The HKS EVC enables the adjustment of the boost setting from inside the vehicle.
Utilizing a stepping motor, it stimulates boost increase and attains the designated
boost value without over-shooting.
This product was developed to improve engine output and was designed to be used for
racing in a closed circuit. Improving engine output may affect oil and/or water
temperature and oil pressure. To preserve engine performance, regularly monitor
engine conditions before driving.
To use this product on public roads, follow the necessary procedures if there are any
regulations for a tuned/modified vehicle.
●Compact Design
Its compact designed display and stepping motor enables a versatile installation
into the vehicle interior and the engine compartment.
●Wide Boost Range
The boost level can be controlled from baseline boost to 250kPa (36.0PSI).
●Simple Boost Setting
Just directly input the desired boost value to modes A and B, and let HKS EVC
control the boost.
●Return Function
Once EVC is turned off, the boost level returns to the baseline value. For some
vehicles, the boost may become lower than the the stock settings after EVC is off.
●Scramble Function
With the scramble function, the boost can be increased by a designated value above
the set boost value. The increase in boost is obtained while pressing botton① of
the display or the optional external scramble switch (using the provided harness).
The time span of the boost increase after the release of the botton can also be set.
●Dual Boost Mode Settings
A Mode & B Mode are the 2 user specified preset boost level selections. Each mode
can be used for a different purpose or situation.
www.R33-GTR.org
−1−
●Dual Offset Mode Settings
If the desired set boost and the actual boost levels do not match, the offset
function can be used to adjust for the difference. The offset of both A Mode &
B Mode can be set individually; therefore, more precise results can be obatined.
●Warning Function
If the boost exceeds the user selectable warning value, the EVC notifies the user
with an audiable beep and visable warning display. Simultaneously, it lowers the
boost to the baseline boost value or by a user preset value. This function prevents
damage to the engine and/or the turbine due to over-boost.
●Throttle Position Input
With the throttle position sensor signal input, boost characteristics can be
tuned in relation to throttle percentage.
●RPM Signal Input
With the engine RPM signal input, boost characteristics can be tuned in
relation to RPM level.This feature works on engines from 1 to 8 cylinders and
operates up to 12,000 RPM.
●Speed Signal Input
With the vehicle speed signal input, boost characteristics can be tuned in
relation to vehicle speed. This feature works on applications that utilize speed
pulses between 2 to 16 and has a maximum speed capacity of 500km/h.
●Map Adjustment Function
Input of the throttle signal and the engine RPM or vehicle speed signals can draw a
3D map by using 2 these signals as axes. Using the 3D map enables the easy control
of the boost characteristics.(The setting range must be within +/-120kPa [17.0PSI]
to the baseline boost setting.) This function is user selectable to be on or off.
●Digital Triple Data Meter
3 digital data readings of surge tank pressure, throttle percentage, and engine RPM
or vehicle speed can be displayed.
●Bar Graph Selection
The bar graph display can be set for boost, throttle percentage, engine RPM and
vehicle speed.
●Bar Graph Peak Hold Function
The peak hold function of the bar graph displays and holds the maximum value
achieved for easy instant recognition.
●After Image Display Function
When the boost changes from positive pressure to negative pressure, the maximum
positive boost value is displayed for a few seconds. This function is user
selectable to be on or off.
●Data Memory Function
All set values are saved in the internal memory of the EVC. Therefore, these
settings are not lost when the ignition is off or if the battery is disconnected.
●Exhaust Bypass (wastegate type) Selection
The EVC can work with both internal and external wastegate types.
www.R33-GTR.org
−2−
●Pressure Unit of Measure Selection
The unit for of measure for pressure can be selected between kPa or PSI.。
●Dimmer Function
The brightness of the display unit is adjustable.
●Data Lock Function
To prevent accidental change of data settings, the unit can be locked with a code
●Large Multi-Display
Utilizing a large positive display enables clear day and night viewing. The multi-
display also enables simultaneous data recognition.
●Digital and Analog Boost Monitoring
The digital data and the bar graph can allow the driver to read and understand the boost
conditions intuitively and visually.
