1. Modes & Display Description 1-1. Boost Control Mode This mode controls the boost pressure and starts once the ignition is turned on. If the unit was previously in the Control Off Mode, it will remain in that mode when the ignition is initally turned on. The Boost Control Mode has an A Mode and B Mode which allows for 2 different boost settings.
Simple Setting Read the operational instructions from Section 1 "Modes & Display Descriptions" before carrying out the following simple boost settings. 1. Enter the boost value slightly higher than the actual target boost setting. Even if the boost increases excessively, the Warning Function activates to decrease NOTE the boost to the set Drop Value (Ref.

Page 28
5. Boost Setting Mode This mode is to set the following values for boost control: "Off Set Value", "Response Value", "Over Boost Value", "Warning Value", and "Drop Value." Press the left side of the switch longer than a second to go to the Boost Setting Mode under the Boost Control Mode.
Page 29
5-2. Response Value Setting When setting the Response Value, " ", " " or " ", "RSP", and "%" appear on the monitor, and the Response Value will blink. The Response Value setting range is 0 - 100 %. As the Response Value increases, the boost pressure increases sooner, overshooting and/or unstable boost pressure may occur.
6. Function Setting Mode This mode is for setting of the following: "Boost Unit of Measure Setting", "After Image Display", "Data Lock" and "All Data Reset." Press the right side of the switch longer than a second to go to the Function Setting Mode under the Boost Control Mode.
Page 31
6-3. Data Lock The set values can be locked by entering a lock number to prevent unintentional editing of data. To edit data again after locking, enter the lock number to release. When setting the Data Lock, "LOCK" blinks on the lower right corner of the monitor.
Page 32
6-4. All Data Reset All set values can be reset to the default settings. After resetting the data, no data is retrievable. If the lock number is forgotten, reset all data and set a new lock number. CAUTION When resetting all data, stop the engine so the sensor's values can be learned at 0 boost (atmospheric pressure) If not, incorrect sensor values are learned, and the boost pressure will be calibrated incorrectly.
7. Error Display The EVC-S has a self diagnosis function. If the EVC-S detects any unusual condition, an error number appears on the monitor and the boost pressure is reduced to the factory boost pressure setting. When an error number appears on the monitor, inspect the cause referring to the table below.
OPTIONAL PARTS LIST The list below are optional parts for the EVC-S. Use any of the following parts if necessary for installation. Part Number Description Remarks 4599-RA008 Hose Set for Poppet Value To install EVC-S with Poppet Valve. 4599-RA009 Hose Set for Twin Turbochargers To install EVC-S with Twin T/C.
