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

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
