I'm planning on running antilag on my R32 gtst targa car. I'm running a RB26 throttle setup (using the RB26 injector plate, through to plenum), will the aac valve flow enough air on closed throttle to run antilag properly, or will i have to prop the throttles open/run kicker soleniod/run bigger aac valve?

That thread is useless. This guy is using it for a Targa car and is asking a legit question! I have only used Group N on my car so I cannot help.. Interested in knowing what you find out though

So did you have the throttle jamed a certain % open, or use a throttle kicker?

I'm running a Haltech Platinum Sport 2000

Yeah i opened the throttle to 15% and i use the vipec ecu with cycle idle

The AAC doesn't allow air enough for proper anti lag - your talking 40degrees retard to get boost at idle plus you want at least 2000-2500rpm if not more. I would be selecting another ecu as well - something that has a proven track record in group N - like Autronic or Motec. You really want closed loop boost control as well - to limit overboost. A "throttle kicker" maybe the best way as you only need a small change in tps to get a large change in airflow when you have 6 tb's.

I'm not expecting boost at idle, just trying to bring to take a chunk of lag out of the poor rb20. I'll give it a crack with the aac first, who knows may be surprised. At the end of the day it's pretty easy to prop the throttles open with the rb26 adjustible linkages.

I'm sure the Haltech will be fine, it has closed loop boost, all the antilag settings for antilag retard, fuel, rotational idle...ect. Alot of cars down here (tassie) are running Haltech. I'd rather stab myself in the face than use the Autronic software, and i'm not morgaging my house for a motec.

Hey I dont mean to seem like I am hijacking here. But to get a bigger IAC valve, what would you get?

My stock IAC doesnt have anywhere to go on the current plenum I have. Was wondering if I got a different IAC (brand, shape, size etc), is there one that would just would work with the stock wiring loom. Granted I may have to wire a different plug onto the end of it.

Also is there one that will simply attach via a tube so I can connect it to the plenum via a hose instead of having to get the plenum cut and thread tapped into it to bolt it on?

Sorry about the slight hijacking.

i had this issue so i used a pice of 6mm alloy and made a plate for the alve to bolt onto then i got a 5/8 weld on fitting welded on to the 6mm plate. walla. i can mount the idle valve where ever. its just a matter of plumbing it in.

Ahh ok yeh that sounds like a good idea :no: Should give that a go.

Cheers

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
