I complained a lot in the O2 sensor thread (many pages long!) about poor economy.

I would consistantly get 350k's to a fill. (about 52L)

I changed everything, cleaned everything. The car was totally stock.

So i've put a 3" split dump pipe on, fixed broken studs, changed the cat (still stock from cat-back) and upped the boost to 10psi, and I get 380-400 to a tank EVERY TIME.

So... i'd put that down to an A/F ratio change. I'm using less throttle to get the same power because of the extra air coming in, so less fuel at that map-point in the ECU. You might have (as someone else suggested) a poor AFR. Cleaning the AFM should increase your usage, by my reasoning? If it can "see" more air coming in because it's nice and clean and not insulated with dirt, it will squirt MORE fuel to match. Oh well. Clean it anyway. ;o)

If your driving in the city/small frequent trips/lots of red lights its possible that your consumption could fall to a tank in 200k.

400k to a tank is with some freeway/normal driving.

Lots of short trips with lots of stop/starting reduce this significantly.

update - im on empty , with 330kms done . no red light yet , i guess you could say i have done a few small trips , lots of stopping and waiting in traffic...

im still considering changing the o2 sensor .

does anyone know if injector cleaner will help? and which specific one should i purchase.. ?

CHange the air filter. And get that Nulon injector cleaner, its about 10 bucks per bottle. use it for one full tank of fuel, run it empty and see how it goes.

i only put a pod on about 2000 kms ago , so no need to change that . but i will try the injector cleaner when i fill up again . should i see results if there are any , in the next tank with injector cleaner? or will it be the one after?

    • 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!
