How do the gurus think this would effect things like higher vacuum assist through the crank case ventilation and its detriments to the system or positive effects increasing vacuum on the piston rings etc. Also seems to assist with a faster speed to operating temperature. Helps with vibration from the aftermarket engine mounts. Generally better driveability with less throttle apply needed for initial take off. Would also in theory and application prevent lower oil pressure conditions in hot idle. I have my car idling now around 1050 up from factory 720-750. My thinking is that the OE reduces idle speed to bare minimum to increase mpg ratings at the cost of whats mentioned above (strain during compressor turn on for a/c etc). My car seems to be MUCH happier overall with a bump in idle speed. The threshold for the dash vibration using the hasport mount is 1k rpm like religion. So I bumped to just above and the car drives butter smooth now along with quicker warm up and quieter idle (ie: less valvetrain noise possibly due to more oil flow etc)
Thoughts? Opinions? Any possible angles I havent considered?
Really aside from insane city driving the car will hardly be at idle anyway so..........
Also completely got rid of the feeling of very very slight missing at idle when only at 700 rpm or so....
Looking to review technical results of increasing idle speed.
