Hey guys has anyone tried and failed/successfully blocked off the idle air regulator?

This is the one down near the injectors under the throttle body..

My understanding is this helps bump the idle during warm up?

Would it be possible to bypass, and get the IACV to bump the revs pending on coolant temp feedback (aftermarket ecu)

If you are talking about the black fast idle air control, then yes I have deleted mine with no problems. I used a consult to hold my idle steady and just used the iacv valve to adjust the idle. I actually used an iacv off a nissan sentra. It is basically the same except it doesn't have the line running to the ficd that I deleted. It only has the line that runs back to your piping.

I just realised you have an rb20 so the sentra iacv may not work as I have a rb25. As far as idle goes I adjusted it up to 800-900 and it idles just fine with that idle may do well at lower rpms but I had to set mine higher because I have fans that draw a large load. However, I haven't tested it at very cold temperatures because the climate I live in is always pretty warm.

Yes you can delete it, Just blank off all the piping.

Depends on what ECU you have as to whether it will let you do a table for PWM idle valve control vs coolant temperature i'm not sure. But i would think most ECU's will let you do this.

Say at 0 degrees C coolant temperature you would have a target idle of 1400RPM or there about and at 85-90 degrees C you would have a target idle of 700RPM or whatever you wanted.

I will be doing this exactly with my RB25. Idle target table vs coolant temperature. I'm using a Link.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
