Hey guys i recently swapped my r33 from rb20e to rb25de s2, now it runs n drives but i cant get my idle lower then 1500, ive looked for intake leaks by spraying start ya bastard to see if it picks up and i get nothing so i replaced the intake gasket set and rechecked for leaks and still nothing, ive cleaned the iacv nothin, ive wound out the idle screw, removed the iacv plug nothing, turned the cas to see if its that but no, but also  when removing the intake i got water in the engine so i blew it out then removed the plugs and wound it over to clear it out its fine now but smokes abit now any ideas on both my problems would be great cheers

Yea thats my thoughts but should have jumped in rpm squirting the start ya bastard around but it didn’t 

You mean it should have dropped rpm, but maybe you just haven't found it yet. Keep trying everywhere like injectors, brake booster, etc. Good luck.

So I’ve found no leaks but I’ve found the earth to my iacv isn’t working, is it an constant earth to the battery or does it get its earth from the ecu 

IACV/AAC valve is normally closed. So without power it should be fully closed. Fix it but that's probably not your problem.

Only reason I think its iacv is cause of this

Constant 12V means that the other side (the earth side) is the switched side. If there is no earth there, then the switching device is not switching it on.

The IACV is not just a simple device though (ie, not just on-off). Look at the manual for what you can expect to see when it is working, and what you might see when it is not.

The hose you clamped is not just for the AAC valve, there's also an intake air regulator/cold start valve in there that affects your idle:

Verify that your cold start valve is actually getting power and closing after some time. To some extent this is just guessing because your intake is clearly not stock and it's unclear whether the routing of your vacuum lines is still the same as factory especially because your crankcase vent lines are gone. I also must emphasize that as a general rule once you set the AAC idle screw on an engine that is otherwise mechanically perfect (no leaks/etc) you should never ever touch it again. Your idle getting out of whack is never going to be fixed by touching a screw that has extremely limited control authority, and it is never a good idea to band-aid over some issue with air control by touching that idle screw even if it does work.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
