Help Rb25de Neo Running Rich!

Hey guys, I've got an 96 R33 S2 with an RB25DE NEO in it.

The problem I have is it is running super rich, just above my exhaust on my bumper is black like solid black & I'm getting shit fuel economy. When I drive I can just smell fuel & the same when standing outside the car. I know Skylines aren't cars for fuel economy but it's N/A and I'm getting roughly 320kms to a tank. A mate of mine has a 96 S2 R33 GTS-T and he said he gets 350-400kms flogging it! I know it has a lot to do with the driver & the way I'm driving but I don't believe I give it to it a lot, of course every now & then, I change gears around 3k RPM.. For modifications I only have an X-force rear muffler, pod filter & super spark coil packs. I've just had the correct harness & ECU installed as it was running a GTST computer & R33 harness with the plugs replaced to suit the NEO from the old engine, performance wise it's so much better but fuel economy stays the same?

Sorry if I'm a bit oblivious guys bare with me, I'm a newbie to Skylines. Always been a fan it's just my first time owning one.

Any help on suggestions to diagnose the problem or things that may help improve it are appreciated!

Cheers,

Jordan.

Possibly the O2 sensor needs replacing or maybe the thermostat. Does the car take a while to warm up?

Another thing that could be is the water temp sensor for the ECU, if it's giving a wrong reading (too cold), the car will think that it's still needs to warm up and will keep running rich to try and do so.

I find revving out the engine a bit more (3k) when cruising to be better for fuel economy as long its kept at light load to keep momentum.

What ECU are you now running?

Hi guys thanks for the reply!

@ErOR my car does take a while to warm up now you mention it, about 10-12minutes if it's just on idle, also I pulled out my O2 sensor to clean it & it was black!! Big carbon build up I guess, that was about 4 months ago I cleaned it with sandpaper to get all the carbon off.

@scotty nm35, how do i check if I have turbo injectors? I have the part number with me, I have searched them up but I can't seem to be finding much.

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

      I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha.

      Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
