Installed a boost controller tonight n car was running fine on 10psi, after giving it a bit of stick in now idles from 1000rpm right up to 2000rpm at idle by itself and while driving?? Checked for vac leaks and cnt find any? Confused :(

Aac valve clean?

Block off cold start valve.

Does it idle normally if you switch it off for a second then start it again?

Mine does that. Blocking the cold start valve helped but didnt fix

come to think of it... it started on mine after i installed the boost controller.

I got the HKS evc4, what one do you have?

Maybe we should unhook the boost controllers and see.

My car revs to 2grand and back to 1200 constantly at idle not jst sit at 2000 if that helps...

My experience is that that sort of idle indicates a fairly significant air leak. It could be in the boost controller, but you need to closely inspect every vacuum hose, especially the larger ones (like PCV to rocker hose).

I think it's mechanic time, I stripped nearly all pipes n hoses today on the engine to inspect them, cleaned AAC, I'm not sure witch one is the cold start valve, I tried adjusting the tps, and aic? Still got no clue :(

Hmmm....

After reading that id say the ECU is the problem.

With all the upgrades it needs tuning.

Well thats next on my list anyway, im just trying to get as much sorted out as i can before i get the ECU and tune.

So i might let the mechanic sort this one out.

wow i have exactly the same problem!!! It only happens on first start up and has to warm up to go back to normal. after i turn the car off and back on again it idles at 1000, it is very annoying, and this can be just sitting idling there, warm up for 10 mins with touching nothing, turn car off, turn car back on again with touching nothing and it is fine.

nothing gets touched or changed except it is restarted once warm and its fine, though if its not warm enough the idle creeps back up to 2500 until restarted again...

The car is designed to do what it is doing, the ecu is seeing the revs rising whilst the tps is at 0 and goes into decel to control the revs once the revs are low enough go back to normal and the revs climb again. It will keep repeating the process! My rb26 was doing this for ages and no mechanic could fix it! I end up finding the problem myself, mine was a bent butterfly on cylinder 1, ur engine is getting a significant leak from somewhere between the throttle and the head. Could be buggered throttle shaft seals or any of the gaskets between there snd the head! Even the injector seals! Either way its a air leak.

How much boost were u running when it happened? What engine and where are u? I could give u a hand to try fix it if u r local to me

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
