hey guys,

i just installed a 3" cat back exhaust last week, and since 2 days ago, the engines been idling around 1200 - 1500 rpms! this isn't normal is it? when its cold it even goes up to 2000 rpm. it used to idle around 900 with the stock system btw. whats the problem???

btw.

i've got a 96 S2 R33

completely stocko, except for a HKS mushroom up front, and the 3" cat back now.

i've also got a front pipe that i'm gonna install soon. anything i should be wary off???

Appreciate the assistance! :)

It's just a lack of back pressure, the idle can be reduced with the screw on the side of aac valve and I believe the stock ECU has some sought of adjusting thing on it too. Go to the DIY section there's a guide to doing it under 'cleaning the aac valve' or something like that.

Mine didn't do this.

I'd be checking Temp sensors etc, because there is no back pressure at idle..

Maybe its a temperature sensor out, and the car still thinks its cold?

Clean the AAC valve? Do you run a Aftermarket vent to atmosphere BOV?

hmm. how do i check temperature sensors? i could probably just drop it off at a tuners and have em check it out right?

the car was idling fine with the stock exhaust 1 week back. i read the article on the AAC valve, seems pretty simple, might give that a try. i'm running stock BOV and turbo.

      Is the CD009 similar length from bell to shifter?    car will just be for the street with the odd track day. It’s RB30det, and weighs about 1000kg

      The r34 gearbox is like $3400/3700 landed from Japan sometime last year.   Contact jessestreeter.com for info and quotes. From memory the navara gearbox needs input shaft machined down as I looked into a while back and there's a thread somewhere here from 2018-2021 about it. Depends on what your doing with the car maybe worth the dollars to go cd009 or a 8hp50/70.

      VCAM doesn't really increase peak power, it just widens the powerband. So if you were giving up power with adjustable cam gears to get better low-end response yes in theory it "increases power" but otherwise not really. Stroker kit might put you in a more efficient region of the compressor map which will get you more power but at say 7000 rpm I'm not sure that much will change. The original HKS GT2530, -5s, and GTX2860R gen 2 are all roughly the same kind of turbo. If you want 600 horsepower those are the turbos you need. So 500 whp. Just expect to spend some quality time trying to figure out intake/exhaust piping. The "twin turbo" pipe is an obvious place to start. Make sure the actuator preload and all of that fun boring stuff is set up correctly. Throw a VCAM step 2 at it if you want good response, 2.8L stroker too. If you're not actually wedded to 500 whp all the time you can barely get there with -7s or Nismo R3 turbos, you just have to run E85 or race gas and run them hard:
