Hello all, I finally got Kpro for my K24A2 swapped 04 Civic, so I can now configure how the engine operates to my liking.
Right now, I'm messing with the idle RPM. For now I set the idle to 700 RPM, which seems to actually be more like 650. Anyways, it seems quite happy at that RPM. I'm not sure how much fuel dropping the idle by ~100 RPM actually saves (if any), but I could easily test that.
My main concern is whether idling too low could in any way damage or reduce the longevity of the engine. The main ways I could see this being a problem is if the oil pressure was inadequate at a lower RPM or if the oil splash to non pressure lubricated parts like the valvetrain was significantly reduced, but then again at a lower RPM I would expect that not as much lubrication would be needed in the first place, so how much of a problem is this realistically?
Looking forward to hearing opinions and experiences on this one!
