How did you manage to fix it? Am currently having the same problem with my rb25de where it's idle hunting between 1500 down to around 6-700 rpm. Have cleaned out the AAC valve, checked for air leaks done most of what I have read on here with no change. Thought it may have had something to do with the fuel filter as there was a little pool of fuel at the top of it, but since replacing it nothing has changed. Can someone please help me out here

Cleaned the aac valve. ..

now the only issue is it sometimes drop to almost below 500 rpm when shifting but so far have not shut off the engine so I'm cool with that!

Prior to this cleaning , sometimes engine would rev to 0 and shut off. [emoji44]

Guys... My car is possesed/idle hunt again. So obviously I knew what to do. Idled great after cleaning. Been years since I last cleaned it...
This time however I didn't fully remove the screw though as I'm afraid I might damaged the rubber oring like I did in the past... Plus it was really really hard to fully remove the screw. Pos oring must've been stuck.

So anyway it started idle hunting less than 2 days later !!! very mild but got worst over time... Now it's basically idle hunting in every traffic stop but it WILL go away after 20 or so seconds...

Any ideas where I should check again? Or is the iac valve tired/broken? Or maybe the solenoid? Or maybe the oring is damaged?

    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
