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!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
