Hi All,

I am new to this forum and recently purchased a 1997 R33 GTR Vspec from Japan.

Its not arrived down under as yet and probably be a few weeks/months away from landing here.

The reason I write is that I have no clue of what this HKS unit installed in the glove box is - does anyone have a clue and what it does?

I know it'll probably have to come off during compliance - but I am still interested on what it does.

It looks pretty serious! Sorry for the nube question and I'll be grateful for any advise.

Thanks!

it's a HKS EVC

it will have to come off unforunately... and they're only worth about $20 these days...

...if you want i'll be happy to take it off your hands for $20! but yeah... you can't have it.

...oh and i'll want all lines and valves etc too.

............. okay FINE. $30 and that's my FINAL offer :P

nah just kidding. it's a HKS electronic valve controller, (EVC)

can't tell what model it is but it doesn't look old ... actually i think it's an EVC 4??? i beleive they're up to EVC 6 now???

basically

*BRRREEEATTTTHHHHHEEEEEeeee*

HKS' all-new EVC (Electronic Valve Controller) is the first boost controller to feature integrated CPUs in each component (Display Unit, Control Module, and Stepping Motor) for more precise control, quicker response and improved boost pressure stability. This race proven system is available in kPa and PSI measurement and features an easy-to-read LCD panel that can be positioned separately from the control module for driver convenience.

***RRP - $1299 :)

Thanks for that!

Apparently a new one of this is worth over $750 on the HKS website! :D

Not sure why the owner has installed it the way he has - surely it could have been installed elsewhere or in some other way.

the gauges look like A/F and exhaust temp

and yes the New ones are prob worth that retail but that one would be worth alot less it is just a boost controller i you dont have to view them 24 7 and hidden away is a nice for the un suspecting

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
