Video on youtube of my 22re. I've been fine tunning it for a while and need and input on how its idle is.

Is that after warm up? I don't know the 22re, but sounds just a touch on the high side to me.

 

That is after being warm yes.

 

Must run good if no ones sayin nothin lol.

 

Like I said, it sounds just a smidgeon on the high side, but sounds like just 'bout every other 22re I've heard. Sounds pretty good, tho.........could just be me tho....

 

ADJUST THOSE VALVES!!! Dont worry though. The valves on my '93 were worse sounding than that, even after adjusting them 4 or 5 times. The idle might be a little too high. What is it set at right now?

 

It think its idle is abit high 4 what its supose to be. Its about 950 i believe.

 

Yea the valves have been adjs about 6 times and didn't do anything for chatter. Idle is about 900-950 i'm not sure why but yea.

 

Specified idle should be about 750-800. Can you not get it lower or something?
I drove my '93 for 2 years with an idle of 1000-1100..then I found yotatech

 

sounds about like mine but a little higher

 

sounds pretty good, except the valves but mine sounds just like it and it was rebuilt 6 months ago

 

wow, yeah sounds like the valves are still not adjusted right; have you adjusted them warm?

it's hard to tell idle speed by sound; I'd get a cheapo tach so that you can be certain; or I've seen some nice timing lights that have the function too



oh yeah, holy HELL that motor's clean looks nice

 

when i start mine it like 2000 rmp then on idle when in wharm it sputters at like 500 rmp =0

 

Well the high idle is normal if its cold. Mine would idle at 2400 rpm when it was -40F on start-up. The low idle you can adjust to 750-800 rpm very easily. You just need a flat-head screwdriver. What engine do you have?

 

Its an 86 22re. But yea i'm gonna see if i can play with the idle alil more. But yea me and my dad have tired countless times to adjs valves but the still get chatter.

 

Seems like the temp outside has a difference in idle a bit i'm sure its supose too but yea. Like that video it took of it was on a 80 degree day and it idled at 900-950 and today it was 50 and it idled at 1000-1100

 

yeah man thats completely normal. the idle is controlled by the temperature of the coolant. It idles higherr when its cold to warm the engine up faster. Like I said in my previous post, when it was -40F here, my idle was around 2400rpm until the engine warmed up.

 

Yea i figured as much i'm gonna see about adjsting it somemore with the timing too.

 

The idle for the 22re is 750 right?

 

750-800 is good.
