Fuel Consumption

[StevenR33]

Hey guys I have a r33 gts-t and I only get

up to 250ks per tank.

Can anyone tell me what I can do to

increase my ks?

[TurboDoseBro]

Did i just calculate 24L/100km? If so that's just LOL. Try get a service. Clean air filter, replace spark plugs, clean/replace AFM at the least

[StevenR33]

Haha yea that is a big LOL I'd put a brandnew

pod in and chnged the plugs and the oil

and oil filter plus the fuel filter still the same.

What else can I do?

[funkymonkey]

you need to retard the modulation of the throttle lever.

250km per tank would actually = 26L/100km, as the R33 tank is 65L.

When you mean per tank, do you mean when the light comes on? or when the needle hits E?

Because if the light comes on, you still have 10-15L left in the tank....

City driving brings it down, relining though every gear also brings the km down.

[StevenR33]

Yea it's about 250 when the light comes on

if I put an afc in will it improve the fuel consumption?

[xALmoN]

wasn't o2 sensors mentioned before?

[MUZT3K]

wow 250km per tank, that makes my 330km per tank without the light feel beter. got many mods, had it tuned yet?

[xALmoN]

i get 10km/L

[TurboDoseBro]

you need to retard the modulation of the throttle lever.

Hold on, i think there is an important hint here we are ignoring...

(by the way i was calculating 60L, 5L remaining for pussying out and stopping at the nearest petrol station )

Sell car, buy a prius lol

[eskaR]

thats what i get too.

city = 250k (lots of traffic and lights you have to take off every 2 mins)

countryroad = over 500s k

its a daily @ just under 200kw

I would replace the o2 sensor first. I gained a a bit by doing this yet alone an o2 sensor that has probably never been changed.

Factors such as agressive driving and heavy traffic will naturally kill fuel consumption.

I consistently average 12.5L/100km with the odd squirt of acceleration and well moving traffic.

My friend have a r33 gts-t too and he getting 250km per tank.

Then he found out the tank is leaking fuel out and also the o2 sensors are stuff!

Once fixed these problem he can get around 350km-450km now.

That's pretty much what I get.

I'm hoping and expecting a Nistune and dyno time to improve it somewhat.

I've done filter/plugs/oil.

Will check the o2 sensor.

[StevenR33]

Anyone know were i can get an o2 sensor for cheap?

[adis]

I think i might have one i only used for 10 000 km. pm me if u like.

[paulr33]

covered to death in the tutorial section, go search

Correct, correct, and correct.

RB25DET sees massive improvement by replacing the oxygen sensor. They don't last at all, so chuck in a new one every 80,000km or so. I netted an extra 100km or so per tank out of changing it. Even fanging your car everywhere should see more than 250km per tank.
