In Topic: Better on throttle/off throttle idle control?

Yesterday, 09:05 PM

If we're talking about the jerking around when say cruising in a carpark in 1st gear around 20kmh. My understanding is its the ecu turning the injectors off/pulsing for emissions/economy things

Goes away/is miles better with an aftermarket ecu. Tune may also fix it

Not a viable solution for an NA shitter

Doubt swapping the IACV would work. The gen 3s are usually 6 wire stepper motor setup. Everything else is 3 wire PWM type operation

Rapid fire summary of whats happened

Wanted a new turbo that would spool a bit faster. Found out Mamba who did my GT30 housing also did G25 housings so chances of direct bolt on were high. It bolted straight on

Makes about 20 psi by 4k, much easier to drive. Little bit less interesting but arguably "better"

Swapped to a gen 4 remote res power steering setup in order to route the intercooler piping down between the chassis rail and the radiator

Changed the muffler from the HKS silent power to an Apexi World Series which could have the tip extended to clear the oem aero lip to fix the soot being spewed all over the car

Installed some hard race camber arms as running nearly 3 degrees of negative camber isnt it and had maxed out the whiteline bushes

OEM fans should have plenty of power to keep it cool. I did notice today that NA gen 3 fans have a massive dong out the back for some reason

Some factory turbo fans should work fine. They do on my koyo
