How do I raise the Idle on my G my vortech sounds funny when it idles around 500-600 rpm but sounds fine above 700rpm what should I do?

 

Some guys with aftermarket cams have idle issues, few fixed the problem by having idle raised at the dealership. TS flash is another option.

 

If your build date is post 10/2003 you can't raise your idle with a simple Consult II bump. You can however advance your timing by +2 degrees. This will initially raise your idle rpms by ~100rpm. Unfortunately your idle rpms will soon revert back to where they were before the timing advance but your timing will still be advanced. (At least this was my personal experience).

JWT may sell a kit to help with the idle. Check their website. I know they have something for the guys with the 10/2003 or later build dates who buy their cams...

Do some research on mail order tuning. I've read quite a few threads where there have been many unhappy TechnoSquare customers. Shouldn't be hard to find, especially if you search on my350z.com.

 

what does it sound like??

 

like a slight chirp or something every few seconds ..

I think I'm going to drive over to TechnoSquare and see whats up.

 

hey rudeboy, for the vortech sc, did you have to modify the kit to fit your car? I am in the process of buying one but the dealer says it's only for MT and I might have to modify the kit to make it work on an AT. Is this true?? Also, is 4250 shipped for satin a good deal?

 

Who did you call for that price? I think you can find better, I know we did...

 

my installer didn't have to modify the car at all. just the ECU wiring is different. but other then that I think price is ok I dunno what they go for

 

So does the chirp go away or only when the engine is cold?

 

i have a '03 and i was able to get my idle raised by the dealership with the consult II

 

holy crap. i didn't know you could do this... what do you idle at now? how much did it cost you?

neffster - could you pm me your contact for prices cheaper than mentioned above?

 

Does the Vortech make a SC for a sedan?

 

me too, they charged me 60 bucks.

 

damn vortech and its noise at idle. i just deal with it now.
