I have a r33 rb25det. I recently blew the turbo and replaced it with a high flowed and rebuilt rb25det turbo. Now the car is idling between 1200-1500rpm at all times. it Doesnt change whether its cold or hot and i have checked all vacuum lines, every gasket on the intake side of the engine, basically everything. I have since put my stock BOV back on and besides the front mount intercooler kit, pod filter and exhaust the car is stock.

As for boost control i am using just a vacuum line from the intake manifold to the turbo actuator.

Ive run out of ideas as to what it may be so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you :P

Just found the DIY for "Aac Valve Cleaning & Idle Reset"

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Di...nd-t110431.html

Ill give this a try and see how i go, i really wish it didnt get dark so early now, bring back day light savings! lol

I just finished cleaning out the AAC valve. I Disconnected the TPS and let the car idle. It sat at about 1200rpm as it previously was. i then turned the adjusting screw on the AAC valve to lower the idle. i got to about 950rpm when the screw was fully in. Im guessing it is still not right cause it should not be all the way in. Should i adjust it now on the ecu??

Also there are two plugs on the TPS, i did the adjustment with the grey top plug disconnected as when i disconnected the redy/brown plug it just reved very high. Was this correct???

Ill check that its bled properly, it probably isnt, but would that really make it idle all the time at 1200rpm? Like even when its cold and first starts up?

the idle control valve has water running through it, air lock will cause it to do weird things.... S15's are the worst for it as the water runs through the TB... they will idle around 2500rpm if airlocked :D

Ive checked the cooling system, its all bled up fine. Im wondering if because its a high flowed turbo it may be pumping in more air then a standard and rasing the idle. Has anyone put a high flow on and experienced something like this?

Ive adjusted the idle by clamping off the pipe to the AAC valve and setting the base idle by adjusting the little screw on the throttle. I did this with the TPS disconnected then after setting it all, reconnected the TPS and switched the car on and off. It now idles at 900rpm nicely and the AAC valve adjusting screw is not all the way in... Is this ok? Ive listened and checked all vacuum lines, even checked by spraying brake cleaner over every line and did not get any reaction from the engines.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
