hey guys just need help on troubleshooting the problem or explain to me what's going on lol. recently installed a hks evc 5, everything seems to be installed accordingly, just one problem is that i'm receiving a reading saying that the car boosting while the it's on neutral. usually gives out 54kpa otherwise 7psi on 7000rpm, i know it's not meant to be boosting on neutral, i've checked the connections everything seems alright. Need help.

-thanks

shit !!!

who revs their own cars to 7000rpm in neutral ??

save that shit for your rental cars mate

lol was just testing something cause at mid range rpm evc stated that it boosted 10kpa so just reved it some more just to clarify whether what the evc has shown was true or not. first time seeing it boost in neutral as well bit puzzled.

Never done it myself as I've always heard it was very cruel to the engine but why exactly is it worse to rev to say 7,000rpm in neutral as opposed to in gear?

I understand when in gear and on the move the engine is under load but why is it worse in neutral when there is minimal load?

its not worse. hitting 7000rpm in say 2nd or 3rd puts shitloads more load on the motor than hitting 7000 in neutral, aslong as the car is running fine (not too lean or too much timing up there, good oil etc) then what you did isnt gonna hurt it

That's the difference, an engine in neutral with a huge quick rev up to 7000RPM is more damaging if oil pressure isn't quick enough.

On the street, motor is loaded, doesn't rev up as quickly, the oil pressure "lag" is barely noticeable...

But a very quick free rev, it can be quite noticeable depending on how quickly the motor revs out of gear.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.

      Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender

      I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
