well

sounds stupid i know, BUT its true (in my case)

Normally i average 200-250Km a tank

well, after i put this new to4e turbo on....i got 280KM to a half of a tank...

ao thats over 500KM to a tank if i calculate it correctly

ill do a test since i have to fill it up anwyays and i will have a week before i get a tune.

more on that later

yeah, im curious to see gas mileage between rough tune and after Rom tune with more fuel delivery parts installed.

im hoping 450+ KM a tank...if i can get 300 id be happy

this 250km a tank is killing me

its huge

i had to grind part of the compressor housing to fit it on the stock manifold (stainless had a huge ass crack so i threw it away)

its a t04E size compressor

50 trim

i get 10psi at 4k rpm

im imagining 1 bar at 4300-4500rpm

when i get home i will throw up a picture of it next to a stock turbo for comparrison

What did you do, run it on 2 cylinders only? :)

Whats that knocking noise I hear? :(

lol

nah

AFs are in the low 13s accross the board

i had liek 2 horus to tune it on the highway.

and nah, i drive my car like a bat out of hell.

thats why i have to maintain it all the damn time.

im never out of boost normally

Should have gone Autech Grant. 650hp, 400kms a tank.

well that makes no sense to me .. hopefully someone will tell is what the go is

same here, thats why i was like WTF

so far 67 kms of hard city driving and it is still at hte full mark.

Yep, big turbo would be to blaim, when you're cruising along on the highway or whatever it is making less boost and the ECU runs is leaner.

It was the same for me with my old R31 that a HT-18 on it. Most the time was off boost, so fuel efficiency was awesome. As soon as you get up, you can just about watch the fuel needle dropping! A friend of mine with an R32 also has similar affects.

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
