Ive got a few bolt on mods to my R33 and its gettting very bad Fuel economy,

Im only getting 280km per tank on 98 octane, and to top it off its running like crap cos its not tuned for the new setup.

Question I have is how far can I expect to go after I get the new 2835 fitted and tuned at around 260rwkw or so.

Highway and around town figures if ya now what you get???? Or litres per 100 would be good.

Mine is getting 14L/100kms on flat road at 110kmph............

That's terrible fuel economy! I get about 400ks to a tank these days, but most people will say it all depends on how heavy your foot is!! Driving over to Perth from Qld I got about 580ks to my best tank, but my lowest has been just over 300. (Had 2 cruises in 2 nights hehe)

im lucky to see 300kms to a tank....!

highway i reckon i could just squeeze 400 out of a tank but i dont do that much highway... and i LOVE boost!

Try Resetting your ECU by disconnecting it and leaving it overnight... the ECU will self learn and possibly pick up your mods a touch better.... hence better economy.....

easier and quicker way is to take of ur negative terminal on the battery then hold down the brake peddle for about 1min (this just drains all remaining power out of the system) then put the negitive terminal back on, turn the car on and let it run for about 2mins on idle (this is auto adjust it as far as it can with stock limitations). This isnt gonna solve ur problem but it should help

it really annoys me when people say "i got xxxkms to a tank". how many litres did you use? i can get an extra 50kms out of a tank by driving round for ages with the fuel light on. it doesn't mean i got any better fuel economy.

turbo dave: 14L/100km is pretty bad for highway driving. i got 10L/100km out of mine, but it was stock turbo. but then i would get 17L/100km round town.

have you tried changing your o2 sensor to see if that helps?

Im looking forward to fitting my 2835 to my RB20!

Highway driving is gonna be awesome! Well thats how im imagining it..... Since its gonna be a alot laggier than stock... So hopefully it will sit off boost @ 110 and be off boost in the city driving.

But thats an RB20 and yours is a 25.... Id be saying you could easily achieve more from that turbo with a RB25.... Im aiming for 260 with my RB20

I used to average 300km in my 32 IF i was lucky... Oddly enough the faster i went the less it would use..... Eg. 290km trip @ 110 had to refuel, same trip back @ 160km/h (1am in the morning) most of the way i still had almost 1/4 tank left

It really really depends on how heavy your foot is.

I was born with a lead right foot, so my car hardly ever sees over 300 to about 45 L.

With the bigger turbo, driving around town, it should be harder to get on boost, so if you're trying to drive economically, it should use less petrol. The stock turbo goes on boost at the lightest touch of throttle, or up the slightest hill.

But on the other hand, the bigger turbo, plus fuel requirements means that when you give it some, it'll use more fuel, because it makes more power.

So in essence.... It depends on how you drive it

I get 10L/100 always. Aftermarket map sensor based ecu.

Runs less on the F3 everyday to work.. but more round town... always fill up around the same time.. always 40-45 litres

Although might change when I pick it up this week... was on 263rwkw... is now on 300+rwkw... :)

*edit* I also tend to have a heavy foot.. occasionally.... maybe... :thumbsup:

well, i once drove my old manual 1.3L 16V Charade for 180km around the sydney metro area after the fuel guage touched the 'E' mark. it sputtered as i was driving towards a servo, i pulled in, and it stopped just as i pulled up next to a bowser, and wouldn't start again until i got fuel :thumbsup:

don't know exactly what economy that meant for the full tank, but it was in the 7L/100km zone

    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?
