Hey guys new to this site and really need some input here. Recently rebuild engine and have pretty much gone through every system on the car and cannot figure out this idle problem.

The engine is pretty much stock other than wiseco 86.5mm pistons, tomei oil restrictor, arp head and main studs, crank collar added to machined and polished crank, acl race series rod and main bearings. I used an oem nissan complete gasket kit and replaced every single gasket, seal, o-ring, and washers. Valves seals were also replaced.

I bought the car without and engine, found a blown engine and rebuilt it. The cams as far as I could tell were stock as the engine was completely stock so why would someone put cams in and nothing else. Anyway the engine was built, installed and runs great other than this lumpy idle. It runs better when warm but when cold it's really rough but the idle is dead on and the needle is not hunting up and down, its just a rough idle.

When warm it's alot better but still has a slight miss and is lumpy. I have to turn the idle up to about 1200rpm to smooth it out but it still has a slight miss and not as much up a lumpy idle. The video's I posted were taken today and I had set the idle down to about 1000rpm to get the lumpy idle. I wanted take the video when I first started the car this morning but the battery on the camera was dead. You can also hear a erratic valve tick over the regular valve tick(no so much outside the car but when inside you can here the erratic tick). Anyway I ready need some help with this.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
