How many of you guys with bad economy are still running the stock computers?

The stocker responds to any extra boost by immediately enriching the fuel delivery.

Try disconnecting the O2 sensor and see how the economy goes. My GTR33 is better with the sensors disconnected.

If that fails start thinking a digital fuel adjuster or aftermarket management.

A SAFC should be able to lean things out a bit.

Geoff I would have thought the ECU should have displayed a fault code if you unplug it.

I've got a fully tuned pfc and it still chews the ass end out of the fuel tank.

Fully tuned? for what, biggest power delivery or easy cruising.

Its hard to tune for both I would think. Thats where nissan engineers design a happy medium. But as geoff said, You boost it up - the computer compenstates by throwing oodles of fuel at its problem....

The standard ECU is most likely to give you the best fuel economy out of any ECU, aftermarket or not as long as all sensors are working correctly and the numbers you are producing are realistic. I have a stock GTR with a chip I tuned at work it puts out 234rwkw at 12 pound and returns figures close to 500km per tank on the highway. In standard trim all nissan computers are extremely rich in the top end, this is most likely to be the cause of the build up on your bumper.

Try to remeber when deciding on who tunes your car that outright power is the easiest place to tune a car. The real furness is the light throttle tranistions, idle(not for nissans) and cruise; pretty much where most cars will drive the majority of their life.

My advice to you satanic would be to just replace the 02 sensor with the generic item.

No fault code and only 260rwkw on the stock computer with them unplugged.

Used 25L in 35km with them plugged in and less than 10L on the return journey. I drive sensible as well. No fines in over 10 years.

The standard computer is a known pig if the boost is bumped up. It's been covered many times. There are pitfalls with aftermarket but it lies in the tuning and the attention to detail of the tuner.

    • They need to get a grip. R32 GTRs got as low as AU$8-10K at one point here.

    • Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant
    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
