hey i have searched and looked around for hours daily for the last few weeks and still cannot find what i am looking for,

the variable cam timing on the inlet cam of a rb25det has the electronice solenoid, it is two wire solenoid, seems to be a simple on off solenoid but what i am wanting to know is

1. does the ecu control this?

2. when does this get a power signal?

3. is the signal in response to rpm, oil pressure, tps signal, etc etc?

i just wanna know what triggers this and when

please help

The ECU grounds the solenoid to make it activate in the stated RPM ranges. Its activated also on the basis of coolant temp (ie warm motor) and whether the motor is in gear or not (active only in gear) for the SR20DET so I'd assume the same for the RB25DET.

that would make sence why most skylines have a big power lunge after 5500rpm. Nice, well anyway, mine might be stuffed, cos it certainly works in reverse, off, more torque down low, on lower torque more pull up top. Weird. Thanks mate that is some great info. Which manual is that from, and where can i get a copy?

the best thing to do is get a dyno run with the solonoid disconnected, then do another dyno run with it connected to a +12V supply.

then overlap the two graphs and look for the points that overlap, and program the microtech to switch it on/off at those points in the rev range with one of the outputs. (just use an rpm switched output, will depend on model microtech however)

I always do to power runs when tuning VVT engines (one of for whole rev range and one on) to find the best change over point with most basic RB25s needing 4700 rpm as of point but some heavy modded engines geting as high as 6000rpm.

Your aftermarket ECU needs to be able to ground its output for this valve and be able to turn on and of at any RPM and load,temp,TPS position etc.

are you running a lt12?in your manual you will have a wiring diagram,it will tell you which wire you have to use for an aux output.more than likely it will be the plain white one for the vvt.run one side of the vvt solenoid to 12v and the other side to that aux wire,then setup when it needs to switch on and off in your aux setup screen in the ecu..also try the microtechefi.com technical forums.

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
