Got A Few Questions About Full Consumption And Tuning!

i just bought a r32 and i know the car is running a little rough. the previous owner told me it has been sitting in his garage for about 6 months with only using it about 3 times. Also hasn't serviced it so i'll be doing that pretty soon. Everything else i'm happy with because there hasn't been any surprises. But the thing i'm very worried about is the fuel consumption. fileld up with bp ultimate yesterday to full and today its sitting at half a tank with only 115kms done. previously owning a lancer i shit my pants at the sight.

Now the owner told me it hasn't been tuned in a while and needs one asap. it has a greddy emanage piggback ecu, fuel regulator, t04 turbo setup which i'm trying to sell for stock (check fs section!!), 3" catless tbe and hks cooler. with all these mods is it only because it has not been tuned

since i'm a noob and this is my first turbo car i need to know what tuning to get, where to get it done in western suburbs of victoria for a reasonable price and also would like to know if there might be anything else that might be contributing to bad fuel consumption that i should be looking out for. My bro has a s13 with rb20det which is clean as and it gets around 420kms a tank. i'll be really happy if i can get it up to this standard.

please help me out peoples!!!!!noob in need lol!!!! :O

if u return the turbo set up to stock then you would normally see 400 ish to a tank. wit that setup it probably drinks a bit, i would dare to say 250-300 per tank at best.

western suburbs, hard to find some good tuners tho i have dealt with created motorsports in campbellfield. they do a great job and no there stuff. they are more northern tho. get a good tune done with what you have, you may increase the fuel economy with a good tune, full service including new fuel filter, new 02 sensor, and cleanign the afm and aac valves before the tune.

check out the tutorials forum for help with aac and afm, but leave a mechanic to do the service and fuel filter for you. then get the tune done. you may find your not gonna need to sell your setup.

btw wat boost you running?

i'm pretty sure last owner got it tuned at pro tek on 9 psi with current setup. not only selling setup because of the fuel consumption but because of staying legal lol..

Yeh maintenance is needed badly by the looks of it.

I did some decent servicing on my RB25 (oil, plugs, air flow sensor etc.) and with a near-stock setup i see about 480-500km a tank.

You should be able to manage close to 400.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
