Just wondering what fuel values you guys are running in your PFC for light load stuff

I am trying to get some economy back into my car, it seems after a fuel pump swap last year my fuel ecomomy has been quite shithouse

never really took much notice, but after filling up last night and doing the sums my car is using almost 15L per 100kms

The O2 sensor is functioning correctly, and the closed loop setting is turned on

It seems most of my fuel was being consumed while getting up to speed, when its not running closed loop.

A quick check of my fuel values showed that at WOT, my fuel values are between 105-110-114 up the top end

Mid-range and cruise load points showed it was around 114-120, which is more than what it uses at full noise. These where never changed after a pump swap

My understanding is that you have to be 'near the mark' with your fuel values for the closed loop mode to function correctly

Any feedback would be grateful,

Chris

15l/100kms is not bad for a tuned car making nearly 200rwkw. a lot of the consumption depends on how and where you are driving. if it makes you feel better my GTR uses 22/100 (mix of city and freeway) and even my non turbo, stock V8 soarer burns 18/100 (all city drving though). if you are going to try leaning it out, i would be doing it on the dyno.

Geez, your GTR is very thirsty!

Before the pump swap, I'd get 400kms out of a tank. Mostly commuting to anf from work

I am lucky to get 340kms now, and the only thing chaged is the pump!

So how does the PFC closed loop system work? Will it work even if the fuel values are way off? Or do they have to be close enough for it to make minor adjustments

Allot of the meduim load/coming onto boost tuning was done with the 0/2 feedback switched off, light load wasn't touched though from what I can see

How does injector lag time effect fuel consumption?

i've got a r32 with pfc, however i don't have gtr injectors (i actually have 650cc sards)

but i get 400km per tank driving to work and back which is moderate traffic ~45minutes to cover 30 km with some freeway stuff thrown in and sensible right foot

used to get about 440km per tank before the pfc/injectors/new turbo

Yeah I get 15-16 L/100kms in city driving but on the freeway I can get 11L/100kms

I had my PFC retuned to get some better economy but they are just thirsty beasts I think.

It depends on how it is tuned too I think my car is nearly always on boost with the cam gear setup it has, so low down punch is excellent.

I think my previous tune was very rich to compensate for a poor fuel pump so when I replaced it the car ran quite rich with the extra scope of the pump. maybe this is whats goin on with yours?

let us know what happens.

    • I dunno man, that VX S with 200,000 k's is still hanging out for 1.5 I reckon the R34 is the better buy, personally.
    • Dang, doesn't even include on roads.
    • Only in a market where OBD was a thing. The rest of the world was quite happy to let the US EPA only affect US cars for quite a while. The* problem with datalogs is that unless you are very familiar with what every trace should look like, on their own and as an ensemble, you can and will see weird shit that can and will lead you astray, not realising that what you are seeing is the normal consequence of various transient inputs. *Really, "a" problem, as there are of course many other problems too. Look, these cars are so bloody simple that if it is missing or stumbling, the obvious thing is to break out the old mental diagnostic list and just go do all the things that you know you should. After proving that the plugs are clean and sound, ditto the coil stalks, coils, loom connectors, etc, and then making sure that there is fuel pressure at about the right numbers (while driving!, not while sitting in the garage free blipping it), then maybe you go looking at AFM voltages, manually testing the igniter, putting a scope on the CAS, etc. Then you're into pulling the injectors for a spray pattern look-see and perhaps a clean, squirting carby cleaner around the inlet manifold looking for leaks, and all the more annoying and esoteric, but still common as muck faults that these things have. I wouldn't ever bother looking at the trims, as they are usually bullshit on these old clunkers anyway.
