Hi, im building a RB30/26DETT with the RB26 intake manifold.

I've kept the IAA/AAC valve unit from my RB25 and was thinking of using that instead of buying the whole rb26 unit.

Now i need help identifying a certain part, its placed on the hose running from the AAC unit to the intake also if its needed for it to work! I havent still got the RB25, sold it a while ago without thinking i neede anything else off of it :S

Hope you can help me with this, heres the part :P

that ones for cold start idle up. i think its called the IACV.

it basically just bypasses the throttle body to idle up when the motors cold. its also usually connected to something with coolant flow to warm the air up. yet on alot of SRs ive fiddles with ive removed the coolant related parts to eliminate hoses and havent had a problem yet.

tho if the RB26 uses one of these make sure you put one on lol, the RB25 one should be identical they look the same on about 10 different motors ive seen.

It provides additional intake air for cold start. It contains a "gate" connected to a bi-metal strip that is electrically heated (the plug on the LH end in pic). As it warms up, the "gate" closes, cutting off the additional intake air.

It would have been so much easier if you said that i could easily do without it :D Specially since im going to run ethanol and 1600cc's, sounds like i should be ready to get me one if its gives me a hazzle starting it cold :P

Thanks mate!

Guess ill be skipping this one if it only has to do with preheating the AAC since i want to keep the engine as 'bare' as possible :P

sorry if i wasnt clear, as stated above it allows air to bypass the throttle body to idle up the motor without additional throttle. it is needed for the car to run smoothely on cold start. yet the part which seems to have confused you is that some motors have a coolant line connected to it also, to warm it up, which IMO is not necessary. BUT the valve itself is.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
