I have one of the stealth intercooler type with the pipe goin under the intercooler and something on the road clipped it and put a dint in the pipe, there are no leaks and car is boosting fine should the dint affect the performance?

I guess it depends on what you call a dint, if its not leaking then the only way it would be affected would be restricted airflow. so if the pipe is now half the diameter it should be where the dint is, then yea it would be affected but if its only small i wouldnt worry too much, depends how picky u are about ur car..........shame tho :blush:

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Yeah, you want the IACV to be running at around 30 "units", variously called "steps" or "duty cycle" depending on the person. That gives it room to go lower if need be and higher ditto.

      Ah right that makes sense.

      The RPM is just a target, the ECU will adjust things to try and hit that target but it's by no means guaranteed. If the IACV duty cycle is 0 or something like that and it's actually closing up fully then the idle is as low as it can physically go without reducing ignition timing. The problem can be something like the cold start valve in the IACV not closing fully, worn throttle shaft seals, torn rubber diaphragm in the brake booster allowing unmetered air, etc.

      Apexi, though I'm not comfortable with setting the idle, knowing me I'll f**k it up lol.

      What ECU is on your car @silviaz? You can just change the idle target table yourself and the IACV duty cycle. Noting that if you play around with the screw you'll also need to revisit the idle base duty table as you will end up offsetting the lot. Another reason why DBW is superior, there's less mucking about.
