I've got an auto as well and manage to get 400km on a tank before I cave in and get some fuel, at this stage it's been sitting just above the 'E' for a while now. This is done on 'grandpa' city driving with full exhaust, FMIC, EBC, pod and piggy back ECU.

I used to only get 250km's from absolutely-full-tank to just above the 'E' mark. I just changed my O2 sensor and then I could reach the magic 400+ mark, then I got my ECU tuned and things seem to have improved a little more still.

hay guys, i replaced my 02 sensor today with an NGK item, and i had a long discussion with the bosch guys down here in tas. THE EL FALCON O2 is not anywhere the same, but somehow it manages to work, the heating element is different, and the output thershold is different.

I have noticed a BIG difference in the NGK item, the sensor is simmilar to stock but has different inside parts. I also replaced the ECu temperature sensor, the car is sooo much better now, going to see how it goes with the fuel economy.

I also replaced the plugs gapped to 1.1mm and i have to change them back to .8. It deffinatly pulles better with .8's

I put in $50 or 34L on Wed and got 250kms out of it - (run down to red light). I have an auto fairly stock 33 running 190HP on stock boost... Is anyone else in an auto getting the same?

Gees! you must thrash it round! ;) I always get over 400kms, today I got 430 odd! (auto)

how big is an r33 gtst tank?

thou im running over 300hp with 11:1 afr, and hit the limiter constantly on most days hahha

Should be about 65L tank, and you should stop puttin that foot down so much man ;) I got 58L in mine today, I did run it down bit more than usual.

I get around 450km out of 50L with my RB30E+T only mods are 3" catback and pod, I'm pretty happy with that, it's f**kall, if anything more than when it was NA

I Just filled up my car for the first time with the rb26 in and only got 235 kms out of the tank!!

i was shocked my fuel consumption halfed from the rb20. Im still running it in so i wasnt thrashing it. Im running a microtech ecu, is something wrong? do i need to retune or is this the reality of an rb26 running 310 rwhp ?

It's the Microtech, it doesn't have closed loop (unless new ones do?).

The O2 sensor controls fuel mixtures when cruising, to give good fuel economy, The Microtech doesn't use this and is rich all the time, not just when when flogging it, not flogging it would still use less fuel but not as much less.

Arr ok. Interesting.. Wish i knew that before haha.

have spoken to someone else with a rb26 running microtch and they are getting mor like 300 km/tank heading back to rotomotion for a retune i think, unless anyone would recommend someone else who knows microtech well.

play r 32, you should probably invest in a wideband sensor like this

Although you don't have closed loop, you should still be able to adjust your fuel maps so that when your cruising your sitting on an AFR of 15 or so to conserve fuel. Just get a mate with a laptop and go cruising :happy:

I'm guessing your tuner probably only did a WOT tune if your using that much fuel :laugh:

EDIT: Just forgot, my record so far is 8.9L/100km with a fair bit of nanna driving. I got 470km off 42 L... gotta love the RB20 :laugh:

    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25 The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing 
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
