Rb25det Idle Rev Move Up And Down :(

Hey guys i have a r33 rb25det motor in my r34 gtt. Its a build motor has been in there almost a year and it has always been fine.

I have a td06h 25g setup putting out 322rwkw on 20PSI with haltech p1000. I run a Greddy copy inlet plenum with a BM 80m throttle body.

Recently i changed my wastegate to a new turbosmart. I got confused with which hoses goes to the top of the gate and whiten goes to the bottom of the gate, a few trial and error caused a few runs down the freeway over boosting to about 30psi maybe a bit more.

I have fixed the issue of overboosting but now it idles at 1400rpm to 1800rpm, and once the engine is WARM the idle bounces between 1400 to 1900rpm, up and down.. all the time once warm. Driving and boosting is fine.

I thought maybe I'm leaking air, or blew hoses off, but i checked them all and seem to be fine. Also had a look at the inlet manifold gasket up close with a torch and the didn't seem like any pieces of it has blown out. i can see the gasket also has silicon on it too.

SO can anyone tell me whats the cause of the high idle rpm and the revs bouncing???

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

30psi sounds good Andrew. Why were you trying to fix it? :P

Sounds like there is a leak as I said, causing the idle air control valve to open and close while trying to lower the idle to it's preset revs.

If there are no visible leaks, a pressure test may be the best option...

While it's idling you can spray some throttle body cleaner or degreaser or wd40 on the suspect areas and listen to the idle.

It just helps to rule out things like gaskets which are hard to visually diagnose

I did spray some degreaser on the inlet plenum gasket and the revs droped a bit like its going to stall. It was along the whole gasket. So could it be the whole gasket leaking? :s

Also what replacement gasket should i use? What silicon? And should u machine the freking greedy fake manifold? Its like $200 to machine them ffs

      I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.

      From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro

      Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.

      Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!

      I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
