Bump.

Come on guys I need to know if its necessary for my engine to run.

From what I can tell my after market computor isnt even plugged into it anyway.

Do I need to plum it in or not?

What throtte body are you using?

:D cheers :wub:

Im using an XF throttle body and also my computor dosent run a throttle position switch/sensor.

Its an EMS stinger if that helps.

The common solution is to use a throttle stop on the XF throttle body to control the idle rpm and piss off all of the ECU controlled idle speed hardware.

:D cheers :wub:

I ran my rb20 without it for a year or so. Started and idled fine, it would just stall approaching the same speed hump every morning :D

So i got in the habit of clutch starting it once past the speedhump and it was happy to keep going after that.

Could you please elaborate on this sydneykid?

Are you saying not to run any of them including the two on the back of the plenum?

Thanks.

You need to talk to your EMS tuner, as to how he wants to control the idle rpm. The standard RB20/25 throttle body closes completely. So the standard ECU (and Power FC) controls the idle rpm by opening and closing various valves that bypass the throttle body. So when it is cold the ECU advances the ignition, richens up the A/F ratios and increases the airflow into the engine to increase the base rpm and give stable idle. Similarly, when the engine is up to operating temperature, the ECU increases the airflow into the engine to increase the rpm for air conditioning, power steering and electrical load.

I haven’t studied the idle control circuitry in great detail, but my simplistic understanding is the ECU open up various different sized valves depending on the idle speed demand for air flow. This is different to many other engines that use a stepper motor to open the throttle butterfly to achieve the airflow changes required.

The EMS’s that I have dealt with don’t have the feature of staged valve openings to control idle to a number of preset rpm's. So the tuners tend to use a throttle stop to hold the throttle butterfly open, then use A/F ratios and ignition retard/advance to achieve idle stability, hot or cold.

So talking to your tuner is always first on the list when looking at idle speed control

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
