But we arn't talking about 1400rpm in 5th? We are talking about normal driving conditions; keeping up with traffic which may mean 0psi-2psi of boost.

Tune these area's to as lean as they can go (sure reduce a little response but who cares) and you WILL pick up fuel economy. Why tune light/part throttle for maximum throttle response.

Not arguing discussing.

I think I have simply missunderstood your line of thought or missed a prior post or something :(

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.

Datalogit

Settings 1

"O2 Feedback"

Default is 1.047 lambda ie; 15.3 A/F ratio = around 1 volt on the lambda sensor output

Change it to whatever you like as long as the narrow and slow lambda sensor can read it

Tip, lean it out at pre boost rpm (load) and use the acceleration enrichment to get the throttle response

:) cheers :yes:

Im lucky because i can flick a switch and have a totally different Map for max performance or economy,Changes on the fly instantly.

I reckon you have 2 maps, one for "max performance" and one for "poorer performance". The fuel ecomony shouldn't change if the car is driven the same. Efficient combustion for power, is efficient combustion for fuel ecomomy.

Placebo effect, you flick the switch on the ECU for fuel economy and the brain gets switched at the same time. Hence better fuel economy.

The best fuel economy switch is the one under your right foot.

:sweat: cheers :(

PS; yes I have tested it, I set up a car some years ago with an economy/power switch (that did nothing). After a month of testing (the owner thought the switch leaned out the mixtures), bingo the economy position used 12% less fuel. You should have seen his face when I showed him an unconnected switch.

    • I have a 6 boost manifold and it has loads of bends etc. turbo has a cover however manifold doesn’t so I started to wrap what I could without taking turbo off. Very restricted area   are you stating wrapping could lead to cracking weld? Is that because heat is retained?    i have a exhaust gas temp right after turbo and it hits 700degree or 800 at times.   there are areas which is impossible to reach with fibre glass cloth. Is there anything I could apply such as the photo shared earlier which would formulate around exhaust pipe in difficult to reach areas, sort of like aluminium foil flexible to shape it in place?   i think from earlier reply you mentioned acl? Is this what you meant?   https://www.nstparts.com/product/acl-heat-shield-700x275     photo of my engine bay   https://ibb.co/9grHsMN https://ibb.co/bXC8KRM https://ibb.co/KV3kGZc   I am trying to cover bottom of the exhaust manifold which joins the turbo. Only way is to take turbo and possible manifold out as it also touches the engine mount which I don’t fancy doing
    • So....I managed to fix the belt coming off problem, but unfortunately i destroyed my oil pump. While testing and hitting my rev limiter a bunch, my oil pump took a shit. I actually heard it break. In my great wisdom i decided to hit redline 5 times (original plan). Lowered it to 7500 for the soft limiter. Normally it would come off on the first go. The 6th time I hit the limiter the pump broke and as i began accelerating again and hit it the 7th time, oil pressure dropped and the protection kicked in. It actually made a "tink" as if i dropped something hollow.   The motor is pulled and should be rebuilt and put back in 3 weeks. No bearings were spun and i could have gotten away with simply replacing the pump, but since i had to pull the motor....might as well build it   I made a billet tensioner and the belt stayed on without getting frayed. I also made one for a friends R33, but I was thinking of using a hydraulic unit to keep constant pressure on it when the belt stretches.
    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
