With a search wielding no definitive answer, a new topic it is...

All my other manual cars over the years have idled around 650. All of these cars have been na btw. Even the charger (auto) in park idles at 800..

My s2 stagea rs4s idles when warm at 850-900 rpm. Is this normal or is it too high? (Under the bonnet on the leading edge there's a sticker that says 650) so theres conflicting info already.. is it something to do with turbo and needing to idle higher maybe? How do I adjust it.. if I need to?

900 sounds too high. Have you tried cleaning the AAC valve? That in itself wont set the idle but there is a screw on there which may be letting in too much air at idle. That screw can be adjusted to bring down the revs. Cant remember the exact idle speed off the top of my head, but I believe the auto idle is slightly higher. 700-750 is what mine is around.

From memory, logging the timing using a consult cable is also a way of seeing if the ecu is trying to regulate too much air entering the engine at idle. If you see the timing fluctuating that may be a problem. Ill have to dig out my old ecu logs.

Thanks for the replys guys. Stock ecu as far as I know.. ive had the car 3 weeks or so from japan and its been at 900rpm since. Runs nice but I always thought it had been a little high.. please excuse my ignorance but what is an AAC valve and where is it located? I thought about adjusting the idle control screw but wasn't sure if that would throw out anything else.. bah ecu's lol

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
