maybe you drive it a bit different because you know you just put in shitter fuel?

Nope, drove it the same way. Didn't notice any difference in performance either

That's why I don't understand why.

I don't agree with the remove the O2 sensor mentality.

O2 sensor will insure optimal AFR, emisssions and fuel economy over a wide range of operating conditions, fuel variations ect. You can tune a car to run just as well under those conditions but drive the car on a different day cold morning hot humid afternoon use a poorer batch of fuel ect and it wont be perfect. The car will still run and drive ok but just not be quite as optimally well tuned.

OEM o2 sensors are now often used well beyond just light load and cruise often working well into high load conditions. Examples that I am aware of is some of the new cars require the following two conditions before going out of closed loop greater than 85% throttle and greater than 4000rpm between switching between closed and open loop. (Required to meet tough new euro standars)

For those not running a O2 sensor what do you gain by not having a O2. The only thing I can think of is not having the sensor in the exhaust potentially causing extra restriction which I would think is extremely minimal if not impossible to measure. And quite a few people in this thread have just disconnected there O2 sensor but still have it physically in the exhaust so where is the gain?

Mine is pretty poor!! I am getting about 19-21 L/100ks

I am ALWAYS at the petrol station!!!

:unsure: not so flash for the wallet

Wow, I thought I was bad. I get about 17-18L/100 km, which could be due to it running rich, but for the sake of the engine it might need to stay that way

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.

      As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
