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.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
