do you know if you've had the top 10x10 cells tuned for economy? my fuel economy is povo and sam is redoing it this weekend. http://members.dodo.com.au/paul/pics/paulr...e-lightload.jpg im getting those area's tuned for max fuel economy. mines a tad over 12:1 probably same as yours. i assume your o2 is working ok

hey ppls.

All you tuners out there, what AFM ratio are you running at cruise?

I think mine is about 13.2 : 1

I get crap economy  could this be why?

I have stock turbo, 260 poncams.

PFC

The Stagea runs 14.7 to 1 at closed loop cruise and idle. The R32GTST race car also defaults to 14.7 to 1, but it doesn't do much closed loop running or cruising.

It's been a while since I looked, but I can't remembr seeing anywhere in the Power FC mapping where you can change the closed loop aim from 14.7 (even with a Datalogit). So if yours is really at 13.2, then it's most likely not running in closed loop and the mapping changes will have some effect. But if it is running 13.2 in closed loop, then the mapping changes will have zero effect.

:D cheers :D

i came off 460km's to my tank with room for more last week ;)

admittadly im on the stock ECU at present but that means im staying off boost, and never going above 3000rpm... boost is the enemy of fuel economy

i should have tried that while i was using the PFC etc. Best i got then was 330 but that was with a stuffed O2 sensor and lots of boosting :D

K

Now I've heard a horrible story about leaned out cruise mixtures can burn out exhaust valves on engines with big cams.

Not sure whether I'd call my 260 Poncams big or not, or whether I'd call 14.7 that lean.

Any thoughts?

My yellow light normally lights up quite early about 40l used then I just fill it up on the E , I will fill around 45-47l max haha.

I thought I was doing bad with those 350km (I'm a student so not much highway driving) , since BP Ult petrol price went up to 126 cents per litre!!! ridiculous (In Perth)

Is Julian Edgar quoting 16:1 for a nissan? Is that cruise or lean cruise? Most cheap (non sequential) aftermarket computers wont cope with those kind of numbers. We continue to run lean cruise in most holden v8's with durations up to about 220deg at 50 thou as a rule of thumb. But this is only with sequential ECU's.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
