hi, im at the stage at getting the wiring into my s15 wiv 26/30....

now i was planning to use a d jetro, but am unsure if i can use it wiv all the soleniods i have taken off the manifold and other bits and pieces...

im fully unaware if you can run a d jetro without say like the idle control gear under the manifold and other stuff like that....

if i take off the idle control gear will this affect me using teh d jetro or should i go with a full sm4 which can control all this without thoes valves and solenoids??? does the sm4 need this stuff aswell????

im fully confused.. sofar i have a complete 32 gtr harness and thats about all...

any light shed on the topic is appreciated...

id rather use a d jetro as its more straight forward but dunno if you can do what im asking...

cheers

ok, but now, say if you had a massive after market plenum, im sure as you wouldnt run these steppers/motors/valves would you...

what hapends in these circumstances...???

Greddy - plazmaman - CPC plenums all run them

i think you'll find that you wont have any control over the revs for aircon and cold start - but it should still idle

Even my mechanic's custom made plenum still runs them.

Why the hell would you degrade you engine to prehistoric tuning and rough idle, etc :P

  • 1 month later...

on my SR i never had any of my idle control motors or anything running... all it means is that when the engine is cold, it doesn't idle higher... no big deal.

the computer still runs the cold start through running more fuel into the motor..

once the idle motor is gone the way you adjust the idle is through a little screw in the throttle body, basically it'll adjust the throttle body flap open a tiny little bit, its pretty basic but it works.

realistically you'd be better off trying to keep the idle control motor as it makes everythign easier in the long run, but if you don't have the room to run it or you are making your own inlet manifold, then there is not a real need to keep it.

i guess that means that the entire automotive business and design got it completely wrong then..

why would u ever use the idle stepper motors when not having them is just the same..

i guess ferrari, lambo, aston martin, porsche, nissan, holden, ford and every single car manufactor got it wrong aye??

i think not. use the stepper motor. the ecu controls its idle via the stepper motor

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
