Gday,

Ive looked around and cant find

iacspring.jpg

Can someone explain how to access the return spring inside here ?

(this isnt my exact one, took this picture off another site)

Basically i pulled this off my car to clean the valve ect.. and noticed that the tension on the spring wasnt the best.

I am looking at either re-tentioning it, or replacing the spring...............HOW ? -- Because the diaphram doesnt close all the way and i think its causing higher idel (1200-1400 rpm)

I've tried a screwdriver in there to force two bits of the sping apart further... but cant get it enough so i would have to pull it out..

Can someone explain how to remove it ?

Yes tried that, but when I took off the solenoid;;; I could not pull the spring/ plunger/ piston out of the aac device.

Used long nose pliers to no avail,

I was thinking perhaps the other side,

there seems to be some kind of cover and the spring stuff it moulded in there. - it may also just be a sticker,,

can you confirm if I just use more force it will slide out ?

Im right with you on this also. I was considering picking out the brown filler that is in there that seems to hold it all in. I think my spring is also weak and needs replacing. My idle is pretty crap, ECU just doesnt seem to take control of it very well.

I have a lathe. I was even thinking of putting my valve in the lathe and carefully "turning" out the brown stuff.

At the end of the day, it would probably work out faster and easier to get a whole other assembly from a wreckers for ~ $100-150, rather than playing with that one.

I'm all for the DIY route and will try wherever possible to repair parts, but some times you have to just admit defeat haha.

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
