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

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
