Went to pnp

[fr335tyl3r]

Hey guys,

This might be of interest to some ppl, (this is the conclusion to what was the "everyone flame fr335tyl3rs dumb forum posting" saga)...

I went for a trip to pnp on the weekend inbetween removing exhausts from the cars (had to swap them over so i get my hitech system back on the car that is going to run...but anyway,

for anyone that is looking for an idle speed control for any intake really (it uses a stepper motor) then there are about 8 non carb XF's at pnp at the moment with the idle speed controllers bolted onto the top of the rocker cover. You'll need about an 8mm socket/spanner i believe (something like that...didnt get one cause i didnt have the right size tools at the time) and im sure it will be a darnsight cheaper than getting a new one (i was quoted 165 for a new one...:P)

Also at the moment there is a sonata with the manifold but no plenum, and also has injecotrs, injector plugs and injector seats...still havent found a replacement optical disc tho :( none of the sonatas had their dizzy's left and the l300s are all non opticals at the moment.

hope this helps, and if u either have a full optical dizzy that you want to sell me or just the disc, pm me.

After all that, are you saying XF's run a stepper motor?

thanks for the tip - I'm looking for an idle control valve of some sort, so it was worth posting.

I thought XF valves where solenoid type valves which need a varying duty cycle signal? I could be wrong, but I'm not fussed as my ECU will run either type.

Yes they are an air bypass valve.

lol could be mistaken then...doesnt bother me cause mine runs either style, just looked like a stepper from the quick look that i took (had more than the usual 2 wires coming out ide expect to see a solenoid having...)

Will, if your running an L300 manifold and T/B then you can just get an L300 stepper motor and bolt it on.

Yep. Its not a stepper.

Did you notice the two pipes from it going to the T/B? One pipe on each side of the butterfly?

Thats what you would do with yours if you use the XF T/B.

[fr335tyl3r]

yes i understand how it will attach. there has been much discussion about this. hence hte flaming.

[Fuel]

Ok i just thought i would let you know.

no worries mate. thanks for not turning the flame on :)

[Fuel]

I was about to, but i decided to keep the peace. :)

[fr335tyl3r]

damn straight ;)

[Fuel]

Are you sure you dont have anymore XF Throttle body questions? :P

[fr335tyl3r]

can i bolt up a holden throttle without changing bolt pattern? how about an l300 throttle, i heard they are really good? can i use a honda idle speed controller, a mate has one in his car and it works ok...please give me answers to these questions in 1 minute or i will be forced to post the same questions again...in a new thread... :D i love mocking myself

The L300 had a stepper motor? I believe I am using L300 manifold + TB. Cool... I'll have to take a closer look to see where it bolts on. Are the L300 idle motors rare/expensive?
