depending on cost, that might sway me once more.

Now that I think about it, the cycly idle wankiness the v44 is going to give me, I'm not going near any formals this year. Not keen to get defected hard :/

you do however have to have antilag turned on to use cyclic idle, keep in mind though that your brakes are vac assisted and with cyclic idle setup you have very little vaccume and that does effect braking performance quite a bit.

Mmmmmm rotational idle goodness.

I wonder what the fine/raping is for having a car louder than Jesus on rotational idle while nitrous purging at a school formal......

*I'll let you guys know :/*

what IS that? and what is the point of it?

/noob

that is cyclic idle, it is part of the antilag system and is designed to help cool the engine/turbo/exhaust down by not firing all the cyls as antilag dumps a lot of heat into the exhaust/turbo. dispite sounding as lumpy as it does the car is doing ~1500-2000rpm

when you load up the revs it stops the cyclic idle as its name suggests it only effects the idle, when you get into the antilag areas it adds more fuel, reduces the ignition timing massively and doesnt fire on all cyls so you essentialy are firing the cyl into the exhaust manifold on some and putting raw fuel into the exhaust manifold on the others giving you lots of very hot gas to spin up the turbo (and the cyclic idle is there to help cool this down and keep the revs sane with the throttle open ~20% when "fully closed").

its not great for your turbo or cat (which will not last long before its insides are smashed to pieces/melted) as you pop and bang when the engine revs drop between gear changes/exiting corners keeping the turbo spinning nice and quick. this keeps the turbo ready to come on boost as soon as you get on the loud pedal so you get less of the wait as a turbo spools back up, it can also be used off the line to launch at full boost but you need a lot of grip to keep from just doing a burnout instead.

you need to keep in mind that this all requires someone to set it up in the ECU/TB, it is more than just a case of turning it on and it working out of the box.

The antilag launching in a RWD on street tyres is quite pointless I found. I had it setup on the Microtech a while back, was very fun but it would just paint lines down the road. Definetely need some damn good grip on the rear to benefit from it.

Any input on the comment saying E85 has lubrication issues?

I can see 2 possible factors at play on this.

1. Oil dilution - can be solved by more frequent oil changes (maybe every 2500km).

2. Less lubrication on the upper cylinder walls (not sure on this - just a thought bubble). Would the higher fuel content in the chamber and properties of ethanol cause higher friction/wear - possibly by removing lubricant reside from the walls during filling/compression strokes?

I have had no issue using 300v or now Sougi 6000, the oil is stable and clean. Not so for the Castrol edge, it went all milky within a few days, not sure why.

As long as your thermostat brings the oil up to a suitable temp quickly, (ethanol evaporates at 70 degrees.) you wont have any issues. I have a catch can setup which fills within 2 months with an ethanol and water mix, I simply turn a ball valve to drain it.

Any friction issues will only be at cold start as that is the only time the fuel is liquid in the chamber.

yup...

I use turbolight 4100 10w40 as motul have recommended not to use 300v with e85 and it is perfect

5000k and it never goes milky... beyond that i wouldn't know :)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
