ok after getting my car back the other day i went for a drive around my area sunday night...

after reading the "what do u rev to" thread i took every1's advise and only reved to about 2-2.5 with very few hits to about 5-6 when giving it a little..

now i went through the better part of 3/4 of a tank and only did a little over 200K's:confused:

i read in the thread that most ppl get about 500Ks out of a tank..

so whats up with my car? why am i using so much fuel?

its pretty much a stock car.. only a mild rear exhaust and blitz bov (which does cause the car to stall sometimes when braking after boosting)

hmmm.. I get 350km on a full tank.

The only time i ever got more than 400 was when I went on

the Joint Syd/Canberra cruise where i got 450kms.

It all depends how hard you are on the throttle and I think in

your situation, you making up for the time it was off the road

like Georgie.

bucket - yeh i ordered them dude, i should have em in about 2-3weeks

xrsist - thats just the think man, i was taking it easy (shifting at about 2-2.5) with very few bursts to about 5or6...

im acually really pissed off, i really gotta learn how to drive my car propperly... i dragged a what looked like stock commonwhore (V6 i think)

i mean i beat him, but not as easily as i would expect.

i mean my car is stock with only like 5-6pound boost (dont ask me why:confused: ) and i had a heavier friend with me.. but still....

na man i havent had it serviced yet.. iv only done about 2500k's in the 6 days that iv been driving it..

is a injector clean included in as part of standard (5000k)service?

i was gonna take it to advan they said its 150$ for standard service..

na man it was black i think.. i was at the lights at the intersection of mamre and great western hwy next to him.. i just cruised to the next lights where he went around a car to a ending lane to line up against me.. im like, uv gotta be kidding.. i just took off narmaly (prob why i didnt eat him like i should have) but he full floored , so im like kool and took it to about 6 in 1st and 2nd , by 3rd i cought up to him and over took.. :P

for those guys who have installed safc's and have returned improved fuel efficiency's, who did your tuning? any tips on what and how to tune your safc? what ratio did you tune to?

what AFR do skylines (R34 GTT if you know) run stock? 10.5:1 ?

by leaning out mixtures, how did you find your performance? any noticeable increase or decrease?

i'd also like to hear from those ppl who have installed safc's and returned no or worse improvement?

fyi, with cat back exhaust & air filter the GTT averages about 330-350km city driving. add a trip to wollongong and it'll do 410-430km with a couple of spirited hits...

city driving and a old pacific hwy run and it did just over 300km's! thats woeful...

cheers,

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
