hey everyone i have just converted ma series 1 r33 from auto to manual after the conversion was done i have only got 160 k's out of a full tank i have alredi filled up 3 times and same thing happened the problem dosent seem to change is there any ideas wat the problem could be ????? also i have been driving properly havent pushed to car a lot... need help... ps. i had no problem in the engine when it was auto and i use to get 350ks average out of full tank.... cheers.....

check all your fuel lines for leaks, inside the engine bay and also under the car.

If you have access to consult/datascan you could check for error codes, the main codes to watch for are coolant temp sender, detonation sensor circuit and o2's.

mines a s1 auto and i cant even get to 300k's on a full tank. rpm normally reved till 2k only..

you've probably got an error code or a faulty/slow o2 sensor. you can test your o2 sensor using a multimeter or if you have access to consult/datascan then you can use your laptop.

i done a auto to manual conversion and getting 400 to 430ks a tank (55l) 11.5 to 12.5 l/100 depending on how much freeway driving. did you change the instrumentation panel to manual one ? are you running a safc2 or aftermarket computer? im still running auto ecu since changing a couple of years ago

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
