have you tested your o2's? you can do it using a voltmeter or using consult/datascan. you just need to make sure they're nice and responsive and that the voltage output should sweep from low to high about once a second. datascan or consult is easiest coz it will just display the voltage output for you. just make sure your car is at operating temp and you'll need to rev to about 2000rpm when you're measuring the voltages.

yea freind of mine hsa consult but he is currently at albury he should be back in bout 2 weeks il run the car thorugh that then. but it seems to be ok now, have to wait and run a full tank first to see.

he also has a NA zed :P

how many o2 sensors need to be changed?, there that 1 that goes into extractors and another that goes into cat. change BOTH, or just the 1 that goes into extractors?!

There's only one O2 sensor (in the extractors), the one down near the cat is an exhaust temp sensor.

check out Kudos in the trader section for good cheap O2 sensors

I do not believe the sensor near the cat relates to how much fuel you use, I run my car without this sensor and it has no issues.

I also believe its a temperature sensor, not an O2 sensor....

im confused, how come it seems like the more i put my foot down, the better fuel econ it is??

the for past month, i been driving like a grandma and my car drank 10.8 - 11.2L/100km

but last week, i was having some fun in the car, and the car only needed 10.2L/100km.

can any1 tell me why?... and is it true that it saves petrol if you change gear at about 2000 revs?

too many variables for such a small difference.

are you measuring ambient temperatures while you're doing this?

the quality of the fuel?

how did you calculate the fuel usage?

for the whole time, i been putting in V Power.

i calculated by L of petrol divide by mileage, thats right...isnt it?...

The draft Fuel Consumption Information Rule proposes that importers of light vehicles provide accurate and reliable fuel consumption information and seeks to clarify how this information is collected.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
