Hi people

I've got an rb20 running of a microtech lt 12 and was wondering if the O2 sensor was needed to be connected.Cause at the moment it aint. the wire's cut from the microtech cause at the moment I'm gettin really shitty fuel economy and i was wondering if i put in the O2 Sensor would it make a difference?? At the moment it does backfire a fair bit.

Also my car's making 241.3 awkw but it's running a little lean up top goes to about 12.6 on 16psi, my car has got all the fueling mods like. Walbro 500hp fuel pump and GTR injectors which have not reached 100% duty cycle. i was wondering if there are any ideas why it might be running a little lean and up top. I'm going to change the fuel filter soon, could it be that??? On 14psi it's runnin like a dream with a very safe Air fuel ratio of 11.9 to 1 so any ideas to get the car to run richer up top would be good so i can wind more boost into it.

any help would be great

Cheers

anthony

Microtech does not use O2 sensor as it does not have closed loop function.

You can hook it up for display purposes only.

Unless you finely tune every load point/cell on the microtech you will have bad economy because of the lack of closed loop on this ecu.

Its the biggest downside of Microtech and why most people avoid them like the plague.

you beleived wrong mate.

User definable auxilliary input and output functions enabling such functions as traction control and self - tune.

Wide band Oxygen sensor input and 45psi map sensor standard issue.

No - Simply putting an O2 sensor on a car wont make fuel consumption better. Your ECU must have closed loop function to trim fuel up or down. And as for microtech and Auto tune function - wouldn't rely on it. Have not seen any of the cheap ECU do auto tune very well at all.

it's an ECU designed for racing, meaning to get good fuel consumption you will have to tune ALL load points, rather well too.

was speaking to a mate who has an R33 with 250rwkw and a microtech and he's getting around 250km to a tank

    • 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 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
