I dont think I can get more than 400km on a full tank in my M35 - I have only filled it twice since I got it, but it is chewing a hell of a lot more than my C34 stagea which was modified - My M35 is 100% stock!

Maybe I need a tune...

Just filled my tank for the first time, I never fill it but now I'm commuting :(

67.22L of 98 Vortex and the screen is telling me 545km @ 8.1KM/L.

Now I just have to control my right foot :D

The M35 should only use about 9.5-10L/100 on the highway. Anything over 10L/100km (or under 10km/L) on the highway means either something is not right or your right foot is heavy/shaky. Make sure to put the tiptronic into 5th when sitting on constant speed because otherwise the throttle is too sensitive and the torque converter will keep locking / unlocking, which will end up using more fuel. For some reason using the tiptronic makes it less sensitive and will keep the revs low and constant. :laugh:

The above is for a completely stock stagea. Depending on which performance mods you have it may do better / worse...

In my own experience, mine averaged 10.5-11L/100km on the highway when in D. Putting it in 5th using the gear lever gave me 9.8L/100km but I've seen lower than that since. I'll be doing another long interstate trip in about 5 weeks and reckon I should be able to beat 9.5L/100km this time.

WWATTTT ? 8.1 damn thats pretty high

did u just reset?

I reset a couple of days ago as I've been doing a lot of f3 driving and wanted to see how driving on the f3 was using mostly automatic mode, just slipping into manual shift for overtaking etc.

I'm hoping to be more like 10+km/L once the ECU is remapped.

Note that the M35 holds 10 more litres of fuel compared to older stageas, so 400km on a tank in a M35 is worse than 400km on a tank in a s1 or s2.

I'd say 430-500km would be a more accurate average for the M35, although it does vary quite a lot depending on where you live/drive etc.

I thought I would revive an old thread :down:

I done my regular commute from Blacktown to Tuggerah today and reset all the major efficiency and timing devices on the screen.

Here are the stats for my trip:

GAS ETA, i like it! :P

But atleast I've posted up some stats, will be interesting to see my stats after the remap in it's current configuration.

It should be putting out more power and using less fuel, can't go wrong!! :P

Once we know the remapping works and is beneficial it will be time to get a turbo to GCG for a high-flow rebuild and supply the new turbo with the dump pipe to Envy Imports for change over.

I'm excited, I've also asked Envy Imports for a quotation to supply and fit a FMIC with 3" plumbing.

The ECU should arrive from Brisbane about Tuesday, I should have paid the extra and had it sent from Japan early last week lol

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
