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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
