Sorry my fault mixing english working out with aussie!!

How many litres more are you getting to a tank??

??? :( Don't think it is possible to get more Litres in his tank... maybe more km's to the tank is what you mean?

Edited by iamhe77

I have been travelling to the same site for work the pass few months and weekly I pump petrol at te Shell station, and always pump on wednesday when the fuel is the cheapest. $40-50, is the usual amount I pump, but after using BP for 2 weeks, I only manage to pump $25 he 1st week ( not much driving, only work) and $34 this week (driving more than usual). I was shocked. The car feel more torquey in the mid range.

In all my previous cars i could never ever notice a difference between shell, mobil and bp. I used to think that those people who had a preference were simply crazy.

However, I have to say that my V35 feels as though it does not like shell v-power. I have swapped between the two several times and BP consistently feels better.

I dont often get to a mobil station but the times that i have it has felt the same as BP.

I've used BP ultimate for about 3-4 yrs now so tbh i can't remember what sort of FE I was getting before hand.

But then my daily is a 5.7 litre so I try to not think about the 350km per tank I get.

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
