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.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
