Hey guys my RB20DET is not idling well in the mornings and I have look through the posts and

I wanted to confirm that I should clean the ACC ? Am I right in doing so?

Also Its missin around 2.5k but its ok when its hot and no problems over 3k. Is that just plugs ?

And the cars done 200km would 10 - 40 be good oil for it?

Also there are no clamps on the turbo from the air pod. the hose is just sitting there ... is that causing

and problems? eg a boost leak ?

I bought this car to repair and build into a 300rkw daily/drift car. Its at 220rkw atm at 11psi can i get it running

and tuned at 14psi? it has a haltec e11 V2 a r33 turbo with a front mount. Its a nice car but i want to keep it legal

as well as making it a head turner. Thanks.

Dont know why im responding to this but...

If you can make a 300kw street legal RB20 i would like to see it...

1. You wont make a happy 300kw from an RB20 without serious money or work

2. READ & SEARCH

3. The "Goods on oils" thread is worth a read - there is more than enough information on this.

4. Repeat step 2 except apply it to your chosen questions, rather that what you have done.

sry it was supposed to be rwhp not rwkw. momentary lapse in judgement.

only reason i though i would ask here is because i have read quite a few

topics and im not sure if i am REALLY reading the right material and if it is

the the right problem or my solution.

Thanks for your help.

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
