Hey guys.
I just got a turbonetics kit installed in my G w/ 45k miles.
Since it is my daily driver, I took extra safety measures so
I am running on 91 oct program with 93 oct gas.
I also made 342 whp and around ~340wtq on AAM's dyno.
Anyways, it seems like my idle is unstable.
It idles around 800rpms when warmed up.
My afr gauge reads 15-16 when my idle sounds stable...
However, my idle won't die but gets really rough and the
gauge reads 18-20. It will go back and forth but the car won't die.
It reads fine on WOT runs.. it is on the rich side but I'm very happy
with the power. Anyone know what could cause this??

One of the times I sent off my ECU to Technosquare they lowered my idle to about 800 rpms... And that was rough, infact during shifts the rpms would drop all the way down to where the car would turn off while I was driving.
So I sent it off again to raise the idle to 1000 rpm, no troubles since and that was like a year ago lol.

Other than the idle issue, it sounds like he may have a leak.

Mine idled at about 900rpm, but I experienced the same exact problem. It would idle fine for like 30 seconds then slooowly start to lean out, and start to sound like it was missing/sputtering. Raising the idle to 1000rpm's helped some, although it still does it. A quick blip of the throttle would get my A/F's decent again and provide smooth idle. I think its simply due to the stock ECU trying to handle the 380cc injectors.

Of course the ECU was sent out the turbonetics
The funny thing is that my car does fine on WOT runs..
It is on the rich side but I like keeping it safe.
It is weird that I'm the only one seeing this problem.
I also boost to 7.5 psi... making 342 whp.
I'm going to take the car back to AAM next week and
check for any leaks, clean maf, clean throttle body, and raise the idle.
Am I the only person experiencing this except Alberto?

I will check again to make sure though...

The difference with mine is that it idles fine at that speed but makes me wonder a little if something got left out when they were doing the re-flash on my ECU.

Hopefully that will cure the idle problem.

Maybe it's time for the infamous throttle body drill.

lol.
Can I get the idle raised at the dealership??
AAM told me I would have to buy the cypher and I don't think I want to buy it just for rasing the idle.
Here is an update though, my idle doesn't go lean anymore but it still idles at 850 rpms. I would still like to raise my idle tho!

DId TN tell you 850 is the correct idle speed for the G? Maybe the Gs idle can't be raised with the software they are using?

Anyway, I would just front the money then and send it off to Technosquare. Fill out the form on their website...
Get them to raise your idle to 1000 RPMS, raise your rev limit to 7100 RPMS (I did, not that I go that high up just when going to the strip I don't have to worry if I push it till the stock redline)... And get them to make sure the other stuff has been adjusted (speed limiter, etc.).

Yeah, I suggested this earlier in the thread and I'm surprised it hasn't been suggested by others.
I also agree on the 'crapnetix' thing. I've seen it installed on two seperate FI Z's and both were running rich beyond belief without adjustment. The thing flows like a peice of sheit.
