I'm at nearly 400ks for this current tank and it's getting damn close to fuel light time. I reckon I'll just nick 400 when it comes on. I would expect better for the driving I do (works out to be around 15l/100ks).

Mostly suburb driving. Still haven't figured out what my crappy miss is. Starting to lean towards coil packs. Might try gapping my plugs down and see if that helps a bit.

there is a procedure to get the stock ecu to flash it out

or buy a new one

check your pcv grommet, mine was cactus and made it idle a little off

I've got a PFC.

Haven't checked the PCV yet.

Back from out little Cobram camping trip yesterday...

Filled up with 74.52L. Trip said I had covered 964kms.

12.9km/L or roughly 7.8L/100 :)

Downside was that there is a section of my current map that dumps fuel like no other (can see the economy drop 5-6km/L on the leaf almost instantly) and causes a "Bank 1 too rich" (0172) CEL. Just pull over and clear it. Doesn't pop up again unless I forget where it is (throttle pedal position at certain speeds).

Didn't show up at all yesterday :D

That's bloody good economy Cam!:thumbsup:

Has yours been on a dyno yet, or are you just running a "Guesstimate" tune atm?

Be very careful Cam... your economy is better than my car and I know I am running lean.

Yes. It was an a dyno for a tune, but had a clogged fuel filter (prob the one from factory as I'd never changed mine).

Massively lean above 4500rpm but below that the AFR's were "good", so it was only tuned below 4500rpm

Filter changed last week and my normal economy of 9.7km/L dropped to 9.3km/L (same driving) and was much more difficult to keep high.

Seems very lean Cam, want to borrow my spare wideband?

Yes, will need to work out a time to come over methinks.

So I hear :)

170k's to half tank. BP98 :(

Half a tank might not be half a tank. Run it to the fuel light and then see how much it takes to fill and calculate from there.

I'm just managing to squeeze 200 ks out of 30 lts of premium just city driving , this seems like it could b better , only had the car for a short while ( 250 t rs four ) aero pack , really enjoying the ride but would like some better economy , can you make any adjustments on the trip comp to the leaness or do you advise a run on the dyno , it's due for a service in a couple of months what should they be doing to improve economy

You cant tune without some method of adjusting the timing and injector pulses, like an emanage or Fcon. Even then you will find on cruise there is little improvement in economy as the stock ecu does a very good job of it anyway. It has to, to pass the emissions test.

As far as making it all run as sweet as you can, change the o2 sensor in the exhaust, get your injectors cleaned and flow tested and run a good quality oil and all should be well. :cheers:

    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
