hey all

went down south this weekend and was suprised at how my fuel consuption went.. went from carine caltex to capel and then back to the same servo and did some quick math and got 9.8L per 100km. sure this comprised of majority off boost driving but when i drive around too and from work i am almost using 55L for 350 km (15.7L/100km) and that is also off boost drivng apart from 2 WOTs on the way home (onto ried and freeway) and when i drive with a bit of boost i struggle to get close to 300km.

just some "fuel" for thought

pardon the pun

daniel, why is your fuel so bad?

should be getting at least 400 to a tank

I'll be lucky if i get 300-350kms in city driving in my r33....

I dont drive off-boost all the time, but even if i try to actually drive nicely in city driving and get as much out of a tank, i'll still only get 350kms max....

Anywho, my car needs a tune....

Check your boost guage. I have two seperate ones that run seperate lines. They both say -13psi when crusing at 100km in 5th at like 2700rpm. That is not ON boost. But if I then accelerate, because its high enough rpm for my turbo tohit full boost by 3000rpm. If u slowing push in the accelerator to hold a speed, then it will not be on boost, so hold it there to cruise. BUT if you accelerate hard and slowly let ur car come to a constant speed, then it will be on boost more so like -9psi, and u will hear ur turbo.

An engine is designed to accelerate. But if u want a constant speed it is throttled (less air is given) so it doesn't speed up. Hence crusing.

i done a check on mine a couple of days ago and getting 12.5l/100 or 400ks to 51 ltrs. alot of traffic driving. im pretty happy with that. hopefully it wont change to much when i fit the 600cc injectors and PFC and wind the boost up. (hopeful thinking). still running the auto diff, think that is 4.3 too

change your oxygen sensors if you want better fuel economy ppl! if that dont work, flow test your injectors and repair/replace if neccessary, my r33 averages 420/430km to 50L of city driving and im on boost alot, pretty good for a 6 id say

my s14 would get 500kms to 50L :P

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
