hi, im at the stage at getting the wiring into my s15 wiv 26/30....

now i was planning to use a d jetro, but am unsure if i can use it wiv all the soleniods i have taken off the manifold and other bits and pieces...

im fully unaware if you can run a d jetro without say like the idle control gear under the manifold and other stuff like that....

if i take off the idle control gear will this affect me using teh d jetro or should i go with a full sm4 which can control all this without thoes valves and solenoids??? does the sm4 need this stuff aswell????

im fully confused.. sofar i have a complete 32 gtr harness and thats about all...

any light shed on the topic is appreciated...

id rather use a d jetro as its more straight forward but dunno if you can do what im asking...

cheers

ok, but now, say if you had a massive after market plenum, im sure as you wouldnt run these steppers/motors/valves would you...

what hapends in these circumstances...???

Greddy - plazmaman - CPC plenums all run them

i think you'll find that you wont have any control over the revs for aircon and cold start - but it should still idle

Even my mechanic's custom made plenum still runs them.

Why the hell would you degrade you engine to prehistoric tuning and rough idle, etc :P

  • 1 month later...

on my SR i never had any of my idle control motors or anything running... all it means is that when the engine is cold, it doesn't idle higher... no big deal.

the computer still runs the cold start through running more fuel into the motor..

once the idle motor is gone the way you adjust the idle is through a little screw in the throttle body, basically it'll adjust the throttle body flap open a tiny little bit, its pretty basic but it works.

realistically you'd be better off trying to keep the idle control motor as it makes everythign easier in the long run, but if you don't have the room to run it or you are making your own inlet manifold, then there is not a real need to keep it.

i guess that means that the entire automotive business and design got it completely wrong then..

why would u ever use the idle stepper motors when not having them is just the same..

i guess ferrari, lambo, aston martin, porsche, nissan, holden, ford and every single car manufactor got it wrong aye??

i think not. use the stepper motor. the ecu controls its idle via the stepper motor

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
