G'day guys, so I went and seen a guy he said my problem was that off of the stock bov because I didn't have the piping that went to where ever it goes was missing that's what was making it run rich, is this correct, I can't see how it would make any difference.

Cheers.

Its very possible.

In short. Afm measures air coming in so ecu knows how much fuel to add.

But when bov releases air the ecu doesnt know this and still throws all the fuel in so it creates a rich condition therefor uses excess fuel

If the stock bob was venting to the atmosphere, and was done so be simply removing the plumback pipe, then yes that will make it run rich as the stock bov has a hole that permanently lets it bleed air off. Might be worth taking the bov of and checking to see if the hole was blocked.

G'day guys new here, have a question for you guys, a lot of the skizza drivers where I live are to snobby to talk to me, so the problem is I only get 277km to a tank on 98, I've replaced the fuel reg, oxy sensor, cleaned the AAC vavle, blew the lines, what els could be contributing to this?

Cheers, Aus.

LOL you're blessed! I get only 180km per tank :/

Wow, I get 500km per 50l, I baby the car though, just got front mount and exhaust, but yeah you guys must be really getting smashed with these petrol prices. I get roughly the same km on the worst or best fuel economy wise.

That's what i'm after! Even if i baby the car (which is hard) i'd get 420 maybe? I've had the 33 for 5ish months now, i have new genuine coil packs, new sparks and oil. Yet to do fuel filter, other oils, and o2 sensor. Hope it improves after that.

You are probably losing a large percentage of your economy by those little squirts that you don;t really need to do, when I say I'm babying it, I mean I shift at 2200 rpm, 30% throttle so neg boost, roll down hills, lights and roundabouts, I know it's not really practical for most people to drive like that but yeah, just trying to get 2 weeks out of a tank, to and from work, 6 days a week, HEAPS better economy than the elgrand I had, but driving pretty much as slow haha.

I would suggest to do a 100k service and check all your piping.

I used to be lucky if i can get 300km out of my 34gtt while babying it.

Replaced the sparkies, coil pack, belts, oil, o2 sensor, waterpump etc etc....reset the computer and now with babying i can get over 500 a tank (my maths being i was babying it till the half way mark and i did 275kms - not the most accurate but will do hehe)

Makes all the difference in the world as the stock BOV constantly bleeds air, so your car's ECU is constantly accounting for air that's not even being ingested by the motor. This will lead to it running rich off boost etc..

Also is the return line blocked off at least?

Milan: I don't see why a 100k service would help much? The previous owner has had my timing belt changed with receipts, by UltraTune though, cost the owner $490 back in Oct 2010.

The car has no leaks (rocker cover was leaking now great). I have noticed that after changing my coil packs and spark plugs the car runs a lot smoother e.g. 3rd gear doing 70km/h at 3000ish rpm, i thought i was in 5th because engine noise was so low and smooth, before it used to scream just a little louder. I got 450ks to the tank this week but i had an extra 8L added 2 days ago(helped for 80kms i think), when i filled up today i put in 58L! Gonna check how far this goes, will try to drive normally... :rolleyes: .

John: So i should get my stock bov piping checked?

hi, i was getting under 300kms per tank as well, i now get just over 500 around town, the only things i did was put a new coolant temp sensor in (same as n15 pulsar) and i put dielectric grease on the top of spark plugs and coilpack springs (clean the bottom of the spring with some 400 grit sandpaper first). Hope this helps!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
