Yes the car was up to operating temp and running and it was steady at 18mm HG. There was no change in idle speed and no change in 02 reading to indicate additional hydrocarbons, i used consults to dignose.

I have tested the ic form the turbo to TB, held 50 psi no loss.

I did also spray all the IC connections and IC itself, no change.

Did you pressure test the plenum? Open the throttle body next time you do the test so it pressurizes the plenum too, so if there's a leak in there you should be able to hear it.

Well, myself having not actually had a look inside an RB before, in theory that sounds correct. But should they be both open at the same time at any time?

You don't have an adjustable exhaust cam do you?

Either way, If there's a leak somewhere, then wasted air = wasted fuel.

there is a certain amount of valve overlaop on the exhaust stroke from memory, i will rotate the cams to get the beast seal and see.

I agree that wasted air = wasted fuel, but it's a bitch trying to find it. LOL.

i will get another mates guage just to make sure mine is correct. The stock guage sits about half way between the bottom line and the first line from the bottom. so about -5 or what ever it is.

Green means GO, Red means Go SLOW, lol.

Well my drive to work is 8 minuts at best, and i live in hobart which is hill central so it's hard to stay of boost all the time.

I do give it a squirt now and then, but not like i'm going sideways evewhere.

When my wife drives the car, she gets no better ecconomy then me, so either the car is screwed or she's a lead foot. LOL.

wind your boost down. you are using more fuel because you are running higher boost. the more air you put in the more fuel that has to go in to keep the afr's the same. you would probably benefit from a tune, but you still won't be able to get the fuel economy of someone running 10psi because they aren't putting as much air past the afm.

Arround touwn i run 10 or 7 psi depending, and ecoconomy stil shit. The tune was done at 15 psi and rechecked for lower boost levels and all showed to be fine.

Anyway tune next week so interested to find out what it is.

As much as I'm not a fan of the PFC, you should get one. - That's because you can't tune them properly wink.gif

You should use one device to control one element, at the moment you're using 2 devices to control one element. Not smart. They tangle each other up.

That and you may have lost your map in the SAFC - SAFC's are shit to tune.. they are very rough.. you can never get those flat spots out of them.

Corrine, PFC are frigging annoying to tune off of that little hand controller, especially when attempting to use map tracer at the same time to look where the engine is sitting, and then adjusting that!

And I never said the SAFC was good, I said it was possible he had lost his map from it.

Who the heck tunes off the hand controller? You use the datalogit, a laptop and a wideband to tune them properly.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
