calebR33 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 hey guys I got my non turbo r33 recently (downgraded from gtst for my P plates ) and my mums been complaining about the fuel and that its not much different to the GTST... After filling in 50$ which iwas 38 L to get to the bottom empty Line it took approx 250kms.. thats only 6.6kms a L, and this is with normal driving, although really occasional accelerations. ive been hearing numbers like 9kms so i was wondering if it could possibily be an issue with the car? thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/352876-rb25de-fuel-consumption/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

WYTSKY Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I got better fuel consumption when my car was converted to turbo with all the factory turbo bits then I did when it was n/a... motor doesn't have the turbo helping it get up to speed/under load etc... should be 300-400 a tank... do a full tank on 98, not 95 or 91, that will make a difference too...

SHANE666 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 had a r34 gt25 not long ago and would be lucky to reach 450+ on a full tank of 98 octane with conservative driving. getting about the same on my evo 8 mr.

BLITZ-26 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 98 will help it mate. put a filter in it new sparkes and get the o2 sensor changed should help her out a bit with fuel for some strange reason i managed an 174kms a quarter the other day with the a/c on with a 26 highway after i changed to splitfire coilpacks and new plugs i was dam happy and now i am getting 140ish round town driving Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/352876-rb25de-fuel-consumption/#findComment-5657555 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboDoseBro Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 You should be getting at least 500kms a tank when driving (including stop and go, freeway, and flooring) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/352876-rb25de-fuel-consumption/#findComment-5661522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKITTLES Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 You should be getting at least 500kms a tank when driving (including stop and go, freeway, and flooring) This. Out of a complete tank I'd get 520+. Out of general just filling up, I'd fill up every 480km.

iseekool Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 R34 25DE NEO, auto, using BP ultimate Results are from ECUTalk unit installed in the car. Freeway/Highway = 9L/100km (best 8.5L/100km, worst 11L/100km) Mixed (normal day-to-day) = 12L/100km (best 10L/100km, worst 13L/100km) Heavy traffic = 13.5L/100km (best 12L/100km, worst 16L/100km) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/352876-rb25de-fuel-consumption/#findComment-5662712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKiT_R31 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I got better fuel consumption when my car was converted to turbo with all the factory turbo bits then I did when it was n/a... Ditto, heaps better - halved the revs and just rode the boost torque . I'd be checking/replacing your O2 sensor as a minimum, then get an SAFC and get it tuned to like 13:1 low throttle (<~40%), 12.5:1 heavy throttle and run 98ron (but even tuned to 12 will be huge improvement if your shy). Find a tuner that will do it, I used to run 12.5:1 fuel mixtures on an N/A+T, those on an N/A should handle it fine. To move an N/A skyline anywhere above walking pace will load up the engine enough to push it out of closed loop, which means 11 down to 10:1 fuel mixtures (I had/have an afr gauge, its disgusting to watch) so a tune will give about 15-20% better city economy. Then there's highway/cruise (when your maintaining speed), with a functioning O2 sensor your mixtures ramble between 14:1 & 15:1 but without it the best you'll see is 12's. With mine unplugged it pretty much just sits in the 10's and 11's, even at idle... Those things, bit of a $ outlay but totally worth it (and you'll pickup smoother delivery and some torque down low and at part throttle). As for legalities for P Platers, just don’t have it on display...

Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 bunch of sooks. i get 350-400km out of my 80l tank in my fail landy.

SKiT_R31 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 haha, well yes an no. You wouldnt sook about your powerhouse being thirsty, but when your slower than rolla's it can get a bit rough. More power/smoother delivery + way better economy for <$500 is a good option imo.

Mayuri Krab Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I found my A/C is sucking some major fuel usage, when it was broken (& hence never used, just windows down + a cigarette lighter powered fan ) I get over 450km per tank (~13L/100km), but now I have got it fixed (replaced A/C compressor & receiver dryer) I'm struggling to get even 400km per tank.

syfon Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I lol hard at you guys. My beamer is a 2.5L inline 6 and, with a 60L fuel tank, and i average 600+kms per tank in city driving. Highway driving i average around 850-900kms. And my car would whoop a non-turbo skyline. In every aspect. End of story.

Gotta say I agree with all the guys here that have got better efficiency after going turbo. I used to get about 300-350kms to a full tank when my car was NA, but now I have the new engine in with 300rwhp and a shocking tune I am still getting 400-450kms a tank. Hitting boost frequently as well... It does struggle with hwy kms though, I get 450 driving around town but only about 350-380 cruising on the freeway.
