im thinking i've got a problem, new tank of fuel and to test out how economically i can cruise her i hobble along @ 2-3k rpms changeing up @ 3k and dropping @ 2k, like a really slow wanabe rally driver

anyway

it was a cold night, i got home from work and the misses gives me the movies and hte keys soon as i step in the door, ah well, guess i wanted to cruise anyway and getting into her anties was gona be allot easier without arguing about silly shit so i jump in, drop the movies an leave it idling, jump back in an look at the petty gauge is on half after 2 days from a tank and like 1 half hour juant the night before, anyways i decide i wana see if she is ever gona be any good for daily shit, so pump some tunes and drive the speed limit, every wanker and even a gran fly past me in my beast of a looker purring along.

anyways take to laps around a major concuorse get far gone bored and hed home, looky looky 1/4 a tank is gone.... get the shits with it, take her out the back to a deserted street i know all to well, actually a dead end whith 1 house at teh beginning of hte street and a nice empty clear run for just over 1 click, perfect spot for playing 2 quater practices, anyways launch of boost (not to big frying her stupid) in first she moves, is 5-6m down the road bang on boost peak her to 6k up, stays above 4.5k in second, then 3rd, an she drops to 4k and 5psi instead of 7, by this time im pretty much half way, time for brakes, and hear literaly a buble bloe (not a bang or ping as is described but like a buble then like its clearing its throat) seems to happen when ever she's warm and ive floored the ol go pedal.

sounds like it comes from the rear end like out of the exhuast so im thinking its unspent fuel igniting?

if thats so, that would explain the shitness of my L per K's, she runs f**king rich ?

cuase no boost gage, just teh stock mercury measurement which sits on + 3/4 @ full boost. think thats the 7psi 2nd stage ?

she's got a 2" cat back exhuast and essentially completely stock mechanically bar my constantly on HICAS light, pretty sure that wasnt turned on constantly stock !

you guys get better mileage than that or is that about on par and im just gona have to get used to my 250k's per tank of mixed spirited driving and cruising?

I CAN USE 1/4 TANK IN 5 MINS OUT THE ROAD....

Yeah..... so could I....

when I had a broken diaphragm in my fuel pressure regulator. :(

How the hell do you go through 15+ litres of fuel in 5 minutes?

dont know about the noises but I'd check the O'2 sensor my car started to idle a little funny and start drinking LOTS of fuel (250km a tank!!). checked out the engine bay and the wires to the O'2 sensor were all melted. But its a problem u wanna find and fix fast coz evey time u drive that car its a lot of money down the drain.

you're right, you do have a problem.

but other than that.

I'd just take it in, could be a number of things

no puddles under the heh, running her on bp ultimate only since recieveing the car, so yea, feeling the pinch.

nobody ever hear like a glug sound while driving come from the exhuast after she's warm ?

after she's warm shes fine idling unless i give her a light push on the pdle, watch the tack bump from idle on .9krpm to 2k rpm and she stalls, happened a few times just after getting her.

going in to get some stuff checked by the importer on my 3 month warranty, the front window spray pump is gona and she is starting to make a sound like the fan belt is to tight after warming up, like a cog is squeeky maybe... eh dunno

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
