Frount mount making my 33 run richer?

Hi all,

My R33 GTST is stock apart from; pod filter, 3" cat back exhaust and Hybrid BOV. With those mods my car was getting around 450 km's to a tank of premium.

Since i installed my hybrid Frount mount intercooler kit my car now only gets about 400 km's to a tank. I havn't blocked off any vaccum lines or anything and it all seems a bit odd as i thought a fmic would make the air/fuel burn better and therefore i'd be getting better mileage.

Could my stock ECU be getting confused? or is it just my right foot?

any thoughts?

Dave :confused:

i think thats possible, if worried look at fuel mapping

May sound like a dumb question, still kinda new to the turbo game but; is that done on a dyno or like one of those machines that some workshops have that check your ECU for faults? anyway thanks for the advice ;)

Bigger intercooler = in your case more power  

More power = more fuel

Or it could just be that since you have installed the FMIC you've been givin' it stick.

Have been givin it a bit more stick since the FMIC install especially with these cold winter nights ;) but yeah i have a sneaking suspecision its running slighty richer

Cheers anyway :rofl:

will definately be running richer as the ecu is still trying to run factory settings.

safc or chip can be used to alter your air fuel ratios which would definately help your fuel consumption and give a nice little gain in performance.

there is heaps of info round here, try a search :cheers:

Mine ran richer I already had a SAFC got it retuned after the install made a noticable difference in performance.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
