Help Rb25de Neo Running Rich!

Hey guys, I've got an 96 R33 S2 with an RB25DE NEO in it.

The problem I have is it is running super rich, just above my exhaust on my bumper is black like solid black & I'm getting shit fuel economy. When I drive I can just smell fuel & the same when standing outside the car. I know Skylines aren't cars for fuel economy but it's N/A and I'm getting roughly 320kms to a tank. A mate of mine has a 96 S2 R33 GTS-T and he said he gets 350-400kms flogging it! I know it has a lot to do with the driver & the way I'm driving but I don't believe I give it to it a lot, of course every now & then, I change gears around 3k RPM.. For modifications I only have an X-force rear muffler, pod filter & super spark coil packs. I've just had the correct harness & ECU installed as it was running a GTST computer & R33 harness with the plugs replaced to suit the NEO from the old engine, performance wise it's so much better but fuel economy stays the same?

Sorry if I'm a bit oblivious guys bare with me, I'm a newbie to Skylines. Always been a fan it's just my first time owning one.

Any help on suggestions to diagnose the problem or things that may help improve it are appreciated!

Cheers,

Jordan.

Possibly the O2 sensor needs replacing or maybe the thermostat. Does the car take a while to warm up?

Another thing that could be is the water temp sensor for the ECU, if it's giving a wrong reading (too cold), the car will think that it's still needs to warm up and will keep running rich to try and do so.

I find revving out the engine a bit more (3k) when cruising to be better for fuel economy as long its kept at light load to keep momentum.

What ECU are you now running?

Hi guys thanks for the reply!

@ErOR my car does take a while to warm up now you mention it, about 10-12minutes if it's just on idle, also I pulled out my O2 sensor to clean it & it was black!! Big carbon build up I guess, that was about 4 months ago I cleaned it with sandpaper to get all the carbon off.

@scotty nm35, how do i check if I have turbo injectors? I have the part number with me, I have searched them up but I can't seem to be finding much.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
