Still i cant see any reason why these cars cant get 9L/100k on a trip

Mostly because by the time you are at 110kph, you are slightly on boost. You'd probably be able to achieve 9L/100k or less if you did the entire trip at 80kph or remove the turbo or even just hold the wastegate open somehow. But if you're hunting for better mileage, it's probably time to trade up to a Toyota Prius :(

Im not really worried about fuel economy at all, but my old 5.0 injected used to get 10.5/100 and im sure with the technology of the RB25 it should eat that. I might throw it on the dyno and check my A/R's at light throttle and be done with it. I can remember when it was standard i saw 500k's to a tank.

a datalog run from tonight, some light load cruising, heavy load up hills and some quick power runs and the usual plodding around on the streets on light load. use this as reference or purely for entertainment purposes

also attached latest tune, i made 1 more rwkw haha

some of the load areas were too lean (near 5000rpm) no idea how but the airflow table was adjusted accordingly. a few minor cells were adjusted. also corrected my INJ mistake at 3200rpm.

Wow, that's the exact same highway mileage my VS 5.0L Commodore got too :D The problem with our (current) cars is (1) they rev higher for the same road speed, and (2) running on boost requires more fuel at the same amount of RPM than it would off boost. So with our early-spooling turbos, it's sucking down more juice than it would be if there was no turbo.

The most I got out of the Skyline was 600km, and filled up to 60L so almost spot on 10L/100km. So that was a tiny bit better than I got on the Commodore. However, that was a standard ECU and boost came on very late, so I think that was the main reason I had it so good. Now I get around just under 11L/100km and I think that's pretty good all things considered. I remember seeing some of the NA boys getting 8 or 9L/100km. Maybe the RB20DET can do that too but I don't expect miracles.

I remember the Commodore being a lot better than I expected when I first took it on holidays. Smaller cars don't get double or triple the old 5.0L's economy on the freeway like they do in the city. The low-down torque helps it a lot.

I can't seem to open the dyno chart... it's in a wierd format?

Sorry the log file is a datalogit log file and the dynoreupdate is the datalogit tune file and not a dyno run sheet sorry. I had rename it from .dat to .txt as the forums insist on blocking pointless file extensions

How do we see your file?

Just completed a full tank using Boost 98 including a run upto Bendigo and back. Didn't really give it a hard time. 454k's for 54 L or 11.9L/100 or 23.7mpg in the old book. Not bad considering i run a HKS 2535 turbo with over 240rwkw at the wheels on 20psi.

I still reckon i can get more out of it with a bit more fine tuning.

For that power it's pretty damn good. But yeah these cars are basically a small 6 so you should get better consumption than a ford or holden 6. Gear ratios arent as good for fuel economy though. Need a 6 speed to drop the revs in top...

On the highway I would think you would be able to get under 10L/100km. I can get around that but not much better.

Robo - what did you do with your 2530?  Did it boost up as fast as the stock turbo?

Sold the 2530 and bought a 2535. Yes it boosted up nice and early, i think i had over 15psi at 3000rpm, i have a dyno boost chart around somewhere. Not a bad little turbo for some super strong midrange. Ran 12.5 in it.

Whats the street price for a 2530 2nd hand you think?

So it must boost the same if not earlier than the stocko??

12.5 ain't bad!!

Anywhere between $1000-$1500 for a 2530 turbo

Comes in nice an early. The turbo is virtually the same size as the stocky except for roller bearings.

12.5 is good for a street car, you wont loose too many races.

guys, light load \ cruising in my car at 80kmph and 100kmph is the range of cells N04 - N07 and P03 - P06

What AFR's should I be aiming at here?

Also, on full load, what afrs should I be looking at?

What about half load? Like half onto boost.... 13's?

I am not really sure. The tuner had more car for 3 hours and made stuff all changes. Think I might just tune it myself from now and on...

for 80km and 100km i aimed for dead on 14.7

it was only on light load i aimed for around 15 or a little lower

on full load it should be dead on 12 12.5 ish

im only going off what ive read around there and on google etc, certainly not a "tuners" perspective

Did you enable the 02 sensor feedback function?

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
