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!

    • I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).
    • Lol.. but then.. always come back to a JDM..
    • Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.
    • The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
    • Welcome.  Here's what I have noticed about forum vs FB..... FB; seems to be wallet racing, and the same few questions asked over and over. There *may* be some groups that are closer knit, but most have changed for the worse. SAU; unfortunately, no longer in its glory days. But....genuine people with similar interests. Not all about how much you spent and saying you dont have enough power. Sooooooo much knowledge available. Have personally seen people post up about literally topics I made myself, asking on FB like no one has done it before. Most has been done, and most of that is here.   If you ever feel like just general chatting theres the wasteland.  Other interests are also generally covered in other areas of the forum. Hope you enjoy hanging around. We would love to have you.   P.s. nice 32 😀
