not sure on that one snoz, the zirconia needs heating to work properly (the two white wires are for heating)but not sure on the titania.

checked my fuel usage and ive hit 190km on half a tank. looks like the dirty afm's could have been a big contributor to the poor fuel economy. should get the new o2 sensors next week, i'll fit them next and see how that goes

Tunes not going to make a huge difference as I doubt nothing mechanically has changed requiring different fuel and ignition loads. Could removing from fuel from the tune by they generally run lean then shift AFM drops when acceleration occurs, so could get some better fuel economy, but I bet it's something like AFM, o2 ect. I've got a set here that are used, but worked fine previously Eric.

They work like a thermocouple (from my understanding), which means they would read different because of the two different types of materials.

Thanks clint, as i said, got a new set of o2 sensors coming next week, and i will keep a eye on the afm's. if there is any problems with them. 'll come and see you.

are you back from holidays yet? still got to get that price for a set of front rotors off you.

ok makes sense.. but is the difference in material a longetivity thing or do they operate differently due to the difference in material?

operate differently and are not compatible with each other afaik

just fitted the new o2 sensors. had to buy a special socket to get the sensor out (rare as rocking horse poop too). will see if this makes a difference.

If anybody needs to change there o2 sensors and is SOR im quite happy to help as the socket makes it very easy.

if u bought o2 that are RB25 compatible, couldnt u just get the ford EF o2 sensor from repco, as it mentions in the general maintainence section that that is compatable with the RB25, i did that and im sure it was under $100 for it, plus some connectors, and no special tool required,

a bit late now, but might help someone else that is looking thru this thread

I got the o2 sensors for $77each, Gtr sensors are alot harder to get at than the gtst so it was easier to get the correct tool for the job

  • 3 weeks later...

got the fuel economy down to 13.8l/100 without the tune highway/city driving. o2 sensors are working perfectly (pfc sensor check screen). was hoping for a tune by now but other things have come up so it keeps getting put off. knocked up a catch can at work and that is now fitted so hopefully no more oil on the afm's.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
