Just wondering if it is possible to run the HKS EVC type 3 stepper motor without any filters. The one i have is missing the filters. If it is not possible to run this without the filters would anyone know where these can be purchased or if they can be made up?

mines doesnt haven't any filters that i know of, do you mean the ones that plumb into the air lines?

Yeah the ones that normally lead from your stepper motor to your solenoids:

The reason why i say this is: i have only had the car a week and am already modding it.

I have bought a boost controller and have seen the same one from a different supplier only it had filters attached to the stepper motor output hoses.

Do you reckon the stepper motor or solenoids will become shafted if these filters are not in place?

i have no idea, i got mine second hand and it didnt have any filters with it. when it was installed they didnt put any on it either. i assume its ok, i haven't heard otherwise?

During the drag day a mate and I had to fix a car that was overboosting. Peaking at 2bar constantly.

When we checked the stepper motor (Greddy profec A type)we also saw one of these little filters. It was attached to the cross over pipe, so you'd think the air would be clean... anyway, the filter was filthy, on inspection we broke the stupid little filter.

I then decided to plug the vacuum line straight into the motor. Overboost issue was fixed. The controller still works. Not sure if it'll do any damage in the long run.

The stepper motor that came with my Greddy Profec B s2 didn't come with any of these filters. There is one in line with the boost controller though.

Looks like i wont bother about chasing up any filters! I will just wack it straight in!

I have to wait three months however for the dealers statutory warranty to subside before i can put it in otherwise it becomes void! (Geez it is hard waiting!!!!!!!!) Cheers for the feedback!

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
