Hey guys,

my 32 gts-t is idling at around 1,500rpm, and it feels the tps could possibly be a cause. It feels a little out, when switching from light throttle to no throttle at low speeds, kicks and jerks around alot.

Has anyone else experienced this? I've had a look around but can't find anything clear on how to adjust these.

What RPM is normal for idle on a rb20?

cheers guys :whistling:

normal idle is around 900rpm or less even 800rpm (its on a sticker on the underside of the bonnet)

if TPS is dead RPM will jump and peg at 1500rpm as a failsafe for the engine

so if you see your idle ramp to 1500rpm and sit there, the TPS is toast, that is, the value its telling the ECU is out of range, ie: its probably 0.0 when it happens.

if the TPS is toast the car will be jerky as cos the computer will try and detect and determine load from the TPS, but the sensor goes to 0.0 (lets say) so it jerks and is stally

i have the same problem at the moment, no idea whats causing it.

Probably what that guy said.

That's shit news but a mad bit of advice man, cheers!

Do you know roughly off the top of your head how much a new TPS is?

they arnt that much at all, could probably find 1 for $50 or something, me and my mates did a engine conversion on a laurel putting a rb20det into it, when we hooked it all up and started it it ran like crap, miss firing and everything, trying to pull all the plugs off and re do it, we found out it was the afm that was unplugged, so we started it again and it went straight to 1500rpm and still just wasnt running right which was pissing me off even more, found out my mate didnt plug the tps back in properly ands the idle dropped down to 1000rpm, so i think tps is the right track, at least its not hard to change,

gl with it,

how about knocking 100revs or so off the idle?

i tried the screw in the front of the ecu, but it did squat.

mine sits at about 1000/950 which i find a bit annoying :|

if it sits dead on 1500rpm, the tps is bugger as mentioned above. If there is anthing wrong with the tps the ecu will go into a safe mode and just idle at 1500rpm. Check your voltages at the tps at fully closed and open, and if they seem correct adjust the idle screw on the throttle body.

The grubscrew on the idle stepper.

where is the idle stepper located? i have a r32 silvertop.

is it the round thing about the size of a D size battery with wires coming out of it thats mounted on the top rear of the intake manifold?

or is it the thing that looks like a diaphragm with hoses coming out of it below the throttle body? (doubt it)

either way i cant find any adjusting screw

:D

AAC on a RB20DET is located on the firewall side of the i.plenum, it's rather D size I guess'ish hah.

Nissan say 600rpm.

thanks a heap :) i never would have found it without that info.

it was seized up, but a bit of wd40 fixed it. i set the idle to 600, even had it ticking over at about 400 no probs.

cheers

you can see the screw from the drivers side of the engine bay.

all you need is a flat blade screwdriver to turn the screw, clockwise (winding it in) will reduce the idle speed.

best to adjust it when the car is at operating temp

cheers

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
