How be it?

I keep gettin directed here through google when i do searches, so i figured i'd finally register.

I don't own a skyline though... I own and drive a kouki S14 and i recently picked up an S13 silvia as the new project.

Since the 13 will have an rb25de, i thought it would do me some good to expand my library and find some info on this site for the build.

I've been on okinawa for almost a year and a half. I'll be here until 2012 unless the military lets me stay longer.

That's about it for now. lookin forward to findin some useful info here. :blink:

It's been a long time since I've been back here.

Since the last time, I've gotten rid of the S13 due to some issues with the guy I bought it from. I kept most of the parts so I could one day build it with a different chassis.

Just before that, I sold my S14 and picked up a 74 Corona Mark II.

I also bought a 97 Silvia to use as a track car somewhere in the middle there. It's shared with myself and two other people (Matt and Jerome).

When Matt came into the mix, he brought back the idea of the mutt-RB I was going to put into the 13. After some thought, we agreed we would swap it when we finally blew the SR. We never did blow it, but had a few electrical problems, so now we have the RB in. There's still some work to be done to get it running, but hopefully before the end of the year, we can have it done and take it to the track...since we both leave in March next year.

This was taken right after we dropped everything in. Matt is still working on the harness and megasquirt system, we're waiting for JP to get the flanges welded on the header then a few little things and we should be good to go.

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
