end of the day economy like that means absolutely nothing

anyone can fill a tank, cruise along at minimal revs, make a 70 odd litre tank last for ages and get on here and wank off about economy.

how about the on boost economy. end of the day you got people here with 500 - 800 hp skylines, and your talking about off boost economy? what a joke, we all know they arnt built to be fuel misers. otherwise you wouldnt be running up to 2 bar of compressed air into them.

worry about drivability, starting, that sort of thing. there is going to be little different in on boost economy anyhow.

Nothing wrong with having a daily driver that you able to plod around in traffic, return good fuel economy then hit the track on the weekend and make up for all that plodding around. :P

every ecu is going to aim for the same closed loop settings pretty much.

We can set what load and rev the closed loop drops out, how quick it goes into closed loop and set the afr we want normally set at 14.7 and we can set the clip value so the afr's stay tight at that point.Other factors in the setup but like temp etc but you get the idea.

The days of not caring about fuel use is over with costs so high and we expect minimal compromise even at high power now.

mines tuned with closed loop off with the pfc and i get some shit hot economy on freeway/highway cruising. on street boosty economy isnt too bad, a notch over 400ks to a full tank, which is around 48-52 litres ish.

with 02 feedback off you just dial in whatever afr you like for each cell point and no need for closed loop

my light load low load cells are leaned off the planet and then dialed in slowly towards 12 afr on max load. i didnt adjust max / full load when i turned off 02 feebback, just leaned it out in the 6x6 ish area and progressvily leaned it out a bit more around there, also richened it up near 9x9 as with 02 feedback it was a bit leaner than i had liked.

i found with 02 feedback it would just dial itself back to 14.7 so if it was too lean in one spot, say at 100km it wouldnt matter, but i had to fix those cells once 02 was off

</end rant>

Mines current tuned so that the afr's are @ 14.2:1 during closed loop, out of closed loop until zero vacuum it runs 13:1, on boost it runs 11.8:1.

I'm going to try and run it as lean as I can (being as close to 14:1) up until ~2psi then drop down to 13:1 for up to 5psi then down to 12's from then onwards.

When I say as lean as I can I mean depending on drivability. I don't mind a little doughyness as the 3ltr pulls well and drops out of vacuum so easily.

Unsure how it will affect economy but it should help, I'm currently nudging 470km's per tank if I drive nice, if I decide to give it stick every so often damn it sucks the juice, it easily sucks 70km's out of the tank. :(

I'm sure many of you are aware, theres a german bloke on the rx7 forums who has made a datalogit type box and written software for it.

The software looks pretty damn nice with some excellent features the datalogit is missing. I.e autotune and an improved recal base function to name a couple. :)

Its 'almost' finished, he now has it working with the AP R32 RB20DET pfc so well.. Awesome news for me. :no:

If your keen to have the software working with your pfc head over there (google rx7 forums and head in to the pfc section) dload the latest version hook up your datalogit box, load his program and select scan, then email the file to him.

Thats the thing I don't. :S

every tuner is going to aim for the same closed loop settings pretty much.

The PFC's closed loop is closed loop, being 14.7:1, you cannot make it run leaner even if you wanted to. Tweaking of the inj. map is really all you can do, this attempts to bring afr's closer to the closed loops target afr.

You pick up fuel economy by leaning out the higher load area's, this is where some other ecu's allow you to change where you want closed loop to turn off.

The way I look at it is why run 12:1 up to 2-3psi when it will be happy at 13:1 who knows maybe even 14:1. Sure 14:1 may make it lug a little but who cares when its a 3ltr that has plenty of not too much low speed torque with the skylines gearing.

Tuners generally tune for response and power. Not fuel economy. :D

YES!

exactly, yet we are here arguing over how many extra k's a car gets if we pot around at 1400rpm in 5th on a flat road...

sorry my way of thinking isnt the same as yours, but i think our point is ultimately the same

    • It's all about selling non-compliant emmisions stuff, and things like tuning stuff that makes your car have more emmisions, a very small percentage of modifications and tuning go into race cars, the vast majority of tuning and mods, like catless exhausts, or non-compliant cats, go into street cars with registration  Like a gun shop can only sell to someone with a gun licence, if they don't, they are fined and even jailed, and whilst a gun is totally different to a tune, or a catless exhaust, they are still illegal for a street car As for customers, it easy, they send a letter and tell them to show up for an inspection, like if someone says your car is to loud now, if they don't show up for the test, they can cancel rego, just like not paying a traffic fine This has been happening for years overseas in other countries  I'm in no way happy about it, but, I think there is definitely writing on the wall for modern cars with emissions standards, which will effect tuning shops, parts suppliers and end users And like other countries around the world, it is the government's that makes the rules and regulations for street cars with rego What would happen to a tuner or workshop if they were investigated about turning off stuff in a ECU IRT emmisions stuff like engine check lights for cats, or removing cats, or putting in a lower cell cat, this is apparently all illegal IAW modifications to registered cars, or, retuning the car so that with even stock emmision stuff still installed, but due to the tuning, or parts, like bigger cam shafts, it will now not pass the emmisions test Yes, I am going into a rabbit hole, but going off what other countries are doing IRT everything related to emmisions........cars, trucks, manufacturing, mining, modified vehicles are a easy target Meh, time will tell how it goes either way 
    • This^^^ 100%. Endless Male Attention. "buy a cool car, attract females". No reality is the opposite. "Buy a cool car, attract males".     
    • Just wanted to share the recent dyno results on my car. 20lbs of boost on pump gas. Pulled the fuse on the AWD so it was only rear wheels on the dyno. It made 484 hp at the wheels. I asked the tuner to see if we could do something so it breaks the 500hp level, but he said that we were maxxed out on pump gas. If i wanted to make more power, id have to go to E85.      8739a97a-9408-4eeb-b769-108ff1678736.mp4
    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP.
