I've got an auto as well and manage to get 400km on a tank before I cave in and get some fuel, at this stage it's been sitting just above the 'E' for a while now. This is done on 'grandpa' city driving with full exhaust, FMIC, EBC, pod and piggy back ECU.

I used to only get 250km's from absolutely-full-tank to just above the 'E' mark. I just changed my O2 sensor and then I could reach the magic 400+ mark, then I got my ECU tuned and things seem to have improved a little more still.

hay guys, i replaced my 02 sensor today with an NGK item, and i had a long discussion with the bosch guys down here in tas. THE EL FALCON O2 is not anywhere the same, but somehow it manages to work, the heating element is different, and the output thershold is different.

I have noticed a BIG difference in the NGK item, the sensor is simmilar to stock but has different inside parts. I also replaced the ECu temperature sensor, the car is sooo much better now, going to see how it goes with the fuel economy.

I also replaced the plugs gapped to 1.1mm and i have to change them back to .8. It deffinatly pulles better with .8's

I put in $50 or 34L on Wed and got 250kms out of it - (run down to red light). I have an auto fairly stock 33 running 190HP on stock boost... Is anyone else in an auto getting the same?

Gees! you must thrash it round! ;) I always get over 400kms, today I got 430 odd! (auto)

I get around 450km out of 50L with my RB30E+T only mods are 3" catback and pod, I'm pretty happy with that, it's f**kall, if anything more than when it was NA

I Just filled up my car for the first time with the rb26 in and only got 235 kms out of the tank!!

i was shocked my fuel consumption halfed from the rb20. Im still running it in so i wasnt thrashing it. Im running a microtech ecu, is something wrong? do i need to retune or is this the reality of an rb26 running 310 rwhp ?

It's the Microtech, it doesn't have closed loop (unless new ones do?).

The O2 sensor controls fuel mixtures when cruising, to give good fuel economy, The Microtech doesn't use this and is rich all the time, not just when when flogging it, not flogging it would still use less fuel but not as much less.

Arr ok. Interesting.. Wish i knew that before haha.

have spoken to someone else with a rb26 running microtch and they are getting mor like 300 km/tank heading back to rotomotion for a retune i think, unless anyone would recommend someone else who knows microtech well.

play r 32, you should probably invest in a wideband sensor like this

Although you don't have closed loop, you should still be able to adjust your fuel maps so that when your cruising your sitting on an AFR of 15 or so to conserve fuel. Just get a mate with a laptop and go cruising :happy:

I'm guessing your tuner probably only did a WOT tune if your using that much fuel :laugh:

EDIT: Just forgot, my record so far is 8.9L/100km with a fair bit of nanna driving. I got 470km off 42 L... gotta love the RB20 :laugh:

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
