ok, no improvement in fuel consumption with new o2 sensor

was reading on another forum that

before i was gettin like 300, until i replaced the charcole canister.. seems to better now..

could this help?

i believe my charcole canister is unhooked

ok, have replaced my o2 sensor with the ngk one for an r33 gts-t

part number 0ZA395E2AB

no difference to economy so far :yes:

what else can cause poor fuel economy

i dont get more than 300ks a tank from a 200rwkw gts-t (via usual mods, powerfc etc)

Changing the O2 sensor alone when you have a PowerFC won't really help. As cubes said, chuck it on the dyno and get your low RPM and low load cells checked out. Try get the tuner to tune them as close to 14.7:1 as he can, and then let the PowerFC O2 feedback do the rest.

Does anyone have a yes/no answer as to whether a O2 sensor from an R33 GTST will fit and work on an R33 GTR? It doesnt matter about plug type i just want to know whether it fits in the thread and works with the computer, an answer would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

ayone got an answer for the above?

Pic of what I did with the stock plug and an EL Falcon oxygen sensor:

Btw NGK have a direct replacement for the RB25DET engine. Part Number OZA395-E2. ~$125 - $145 from repco

Needs some heat shrink around the individual wires will do that tonite.

just purchased this earlier today and installed it/took it for a drive earlier and it seems to fixed a few issues i had. 1/ doesnt seem to hunt on idle anymore 2/ it now boosts better then before 3/ it rev's more freely. at the same time, i changed my fuel filter which i think assisted with the change in characteristics

ok, let me correct no. 2

i use to have a kinda surge feeling when i boosted it. it would only boost to about .1 bar when the accelerator was flattened and just feel like its lost all power and then pick up again. makes it feel really bad and kinda like its cutting out and then boosting again - if that makes sense. now however, it boosts fine and feels like it pulls harder. i drive the thing so i would know the before and after effects. but having said that, technically wouldnt a working o2 sensor help the ecu adjust its a/f ratio when boosting?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
