Intercooler Question

[baby34]

hi i've got 200rwkw atm..

and my fuel economy is 300km a tank.. =[

I've got turbo back exhaust, boost controller& pod filter..

Do i need an FMIC for my r34 gtt?

As i believe the stock ones hold 200rwkw..?

My mate was saying you get more fuel effeciency with a new one?

Explain how they work?

Cheers

the intercooler wont change your fuel usage much, but loading the car up constantly on boost will

and you also have std ecu still so the mapping when you boost it pretty rich (ie waste fuel)

you should either

drive normal

get a piggyback

get a remap

get a standalone

forgot to mention i have apexi power fc

[paulr33]

get it tuned with a wideband

make sure 02 feedback is enabled

drive normallly

okay.. so getting an intercooler atm will be useless unless i want more power (200rwkw+)

A tuner should be able to tell you if your o2 sensor is working correctly as well, if it is not you need to replace it.

Pointless is the word you're looking for. And if you are worried about fuel consumption start measuring it in litres per hundred km - your guage may not be all that accurate and a more precise measurement will reveal differences in driving style etc. Tell your tuner economy is a piority and learn fuel saving driving techniques. Myself I have stopped worrying about fuel consumption - I prefer the fun of putting my foot down and try to save money by using the car more efficiently (i.e. less km in a week).
