hey guys im looking at buying a R33 series II GTST was wondering what your fuel consumtion is for city / freeway and babied vs lead foot.

could you include the type of mods u have on ur skylines as well please?

i am hoping to find one with not much more then an exhaust on it mayb an intercooler?

and do intercoolers inc fuel usage or just power out put?

thanks tim

one of my mates has a 33, full exhaust HKS pod and thats about it, goes prety hard he has got up to 620k's from a tank but if your buying a turbocharged performance car fuel consumption is something you can not really expect to be brilliant

i understand that being a turbo 6 its going to use fuel but i would imagine that with next to no performance mods on it and babied it would not use much more if not less then my VT commodore i have atm.

how does an intercooler affect fuel consumption? i would have thought it would decrease the amount used becuase the cars gettin more power from the same air flow

i guess it would be similar fuel consumption, from memory your car at the moment has 147 kw and is probably automatic and is about 1300kg i suppose, 33's have 171 i think will probably be Manual and are about the same weight so the power to weight ratio is better so the engine does not have to work as hard sooooo in theory should be more econimical but when the boost bug bites your foot gets heavey!!! as far as an intercooler goes if you can get the air cooler it should be more dense but im not sure it will improve your economy as air fuel ratios are all pre programmed by the ecu. i guess it would require some research.

cool so yeah i suppose it should be similar consumption but needing PULP will cost a little more, i have found BP fuel to last the longest, run the smothest and gives just a bit more power, that might just be me but most of the people i know with turbo cars agree

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      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.
