When i accelerate at the green lights after coming to a stop, people around me are always going faster then me and so i compared my rpm to their rpm when accelerating from the green light is they often always rev up to 3300 rpm as this is what it takes for my R34 to keep up with them side by side

I usually rev up and cruise after the start of green lights constantly at 1500 - 2000 rpm because anymore then that my engine feels like its wearing itself out and burning unnecessary fuel as my engine always gives off this whooshing sound after 3000 rpm and roars loudly within the car's cabin. (oh and i usually smell fuel within the car after revving it up to 3000)

Whats weird is that i tested beside cars such as old camrys, corollas, Mazda 3s and 8 etc and they are driven by mature aged people and they drive hard up to 3300 rpm usually.

Yet even after revving it up to 3300 rpm cars behind me still stick close expecting me to go faster even when i'm on the left side of the road.

Oh and i forgot to add, i rev to 2500 rpm and constantly stay there gets me to 40 - 50 km slowly and i mean very slowly like around 6 seconds and that every car overtook me like i'm driving like a grandma.

Seriously

the engine is most efficient at 7000rpm , so that's where you need to be all the time.

Its why the R34s have tiptronic, you can manually select the gear to get you closest to 7000rpm

When i use my tiptronic i often smell something burning so i don't use it plus i don't want to go over 3000 rpm as it seems too much for me.

Fuel needle drops like a rock when i reach near it.

Even then i stick to the speed limit and keep getting bad fuel economy.

Most efficient?

So i would use up to nearly half my fuel tank just to go the city and back at Liverpool?

I wonder if any tuning will give me better acceleration below the 2500 rpm range but be economical.

22's = more efficient tyres. Just ask the tyre joint for some.

Sounds like you need to remove the stupid mods and get someone to look at the car. Have you checked for boost leaks?

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
