Hey this may sound like a dumb question and NO I haven't tried it yet but....

Installed a HKS evc the other week and need to calibrate it.

Don't have anywhere I can boot the car to do this, and don't wanna do it on the street ....so was wonderring if it is safe for me to jack the car up, put it on stands and drive it. (Like an excersise bike:) )

Or do I risk the car jumping off the stands or something worse?

It actually sounds quite stupid to me but was wonderring if its possible?

Thanks!

its not safe and even if you did it, its not accurate. the road will give different load rating and affect how the solenoid will turn on and off. just do the self learn in a quiet street or private road somewhere.

youll need about 100meters odd to do it, so it should be fairly easy. sit in 3rd gear. take off in 3rd (youll have to ride the clutch) then full throttle till it beeps and changes to -2-

then do a u-turn, repeat until you get to -1- and then finally it will change to normal operation mode

No it won't work you need the load.

Dyno would be the safest way

yeah just put the nose up against the garage wall and go hard with the gas pedal. let the car change gears as it needs to. you should prolly have your sister stand to the side of the car with a big palm leaf to blow cool air into the radiator... better to be safe than sorry right?

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
