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.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol.
