Just wondering what fuel values you guys are running in your PFC for light load stuff

I am trying to get some economy back into my car, it seems after a fuel pump swap last year my fuel ecomomy has been quite shithouse

never really took much notice, but after filling up last night and doing the sums my car is using almost 15L per 100kms

The O2 sensor is functioning correctly, and the closed loop setting is turned on

It seems most of my fuel was being consumed while getting up to speed, when its not running closed loop.

A quick check of my fuel values showed that at WOT, my fuel values are between 105-110-114 up the top end

Mid-range and cruise load points showed it was around 114-120, which is more than what it uses at full noise. These where never changed after a pump swap

My understanding is that you have to be 'near the mark' with your fuel values for the closed loop mode to function correctly

Any feedback would be grateful,

Chris

15l/100kms is not bad for a tuned car making nearly 200rwkw. a lot of the consumption depends on how and where you are driving. if it makes you feel better my GTR uses 22/100 (mix of city and freeway) and even my non turbo, stock V8 soarer burns 18/100 (all city drving though). if you are going to try leaning it out, i would be doing it on the dyno.

Geez, your GTR is very thirsty!

Before the pump swap, I'd get 400kms out of a tank. Mostly commuting to anf from work

I am lucky to get 340kms now, and the only thing chaged is the pump!

So how does the PFC closed loop system work? Will it work even if the fuel values are way off? Or do they have to be close enough for it to make minor adjustments

Allot of the meduim load/coming onto boost tuning was done with the 0/2 feedback switched off, light load wasn't touched though from what I can see

How does injector lag time effect fuel consumption?

i've got a r32 with pfc, however i don't have gtr injectors (i actually have 650cc sards)

but i get 400km per tank driving to work and back which is moderate traffic ~45minutes to cover 30 km with some freeway stuff thrown in and sensible right foot

used to get about 440km per tank before the pfc/injectors/new turbo

Yeah I get 15-16 L/100kms in city driving but on the freeway I can get 11L/100kms

I had my PFC retuned to get some better economy but they are just thirsty beasts I think.

It depends on how it is tuned too I think my car is nearly always on boost with the cam gear setup it has, so low down punch is excellent.

I think my previous tune was very rich to compensate for a poor fuel pump so when I replaced it the car ran quite rich with the extra scope of the pump. maybe this is whats goin on with yours?

let us know what happens.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
