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

    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
