Any word on the nistune?

I want better fuel Econ, so piggy backs are a waste of money.

Nistune won't help much with economy over an Emanage Ultimate, as leaning out cruise mixtures slightly isn't going to save you bucket loads of fuel. Keep the car stock if you want good economy, or buy something lighter than 2 ton and without a low compression engine.

Can't nistune manipulate closed loop? From what I've been reading and what tuners have been telling me, It will work a lot better than a piggy. Should see 50-100k's more per tank.

Just found out it can't manipulate closed loop, but you can turn it off and set your own parameters. Probably not the best idea to mess with that though.

So when they talk about getting more k's out of the fuel, they must mean while on boost which an auto is always on boost. So a piggy isn't such a bad idea. Until it starts to break down.

What would you pick Scotty?

safc + sitc combo :) Am I right?

You actually do have a modicum of control over closed loop running when your ECU is one that has VE maps. So that's R34, later Stageas and later SR engines for the most part.

Regardless, the common trick with older ECUs is to isolate the region of the map where you do your most cruise miles and turn off closed loop and lean out just there. That gets you the best bang for buck fuel saving without quite as mcuh risk as just turning off closed loop everywhere (such as the risk is, which is nothing according to some and catastrophic accordiig to others!)

But yes, leaning off the horrid rich on boost mixtures in the stock map and adding ignition timing back in under load also gains you a fair bit of extra economy, even when up it. The problem is that the car becomes better to drive, so you tend to lean on it more and use more fuel anyway! :D

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
