Sorry should have made it a bit clearer.....

The readings were taken when that mark was reached, so from the 1/4 mark until the E light came on was 96kms.

I can only do ~30kms on my light, I have done it before, and conked out :devil:

And while we're on it... putting car in neutral while coasting isn't a good idea, idling requires more fuel than an overrun situation (I doubt SK could turn off his injectors while idling right?). And also, good work!

I've been shocked at the pitiful range on the fuel light the Stagea has compared to other japs, caught me out when I first bought it.

Oh, and to really measure fuel consumption accurately, you wanna full tank to brim, drive til about empty with tripometer recording, refill to brim, and however many litres that fill required vs the K's you've just done is your economy. But then maybe you were just looking specifically for max k's outta one tank, hence you should have run it dry for us!!! ahahaha

Well I did an 'economy run' recently in my stock S2 stagea, keeping off boost where possible and I got 12.8L/100km, measured using the method in the above post. I like to reset the km's every time i fuel up so I can work out my fuel economy.

Driving how I normally do I get between 13.5 and 14L/100km (city driving, mostly peak hour traffic) and the above figure included a fair bit of driving outside peak hours so its a little bit optimistic.

Not that much difference between the two figures though which I thought was great because it means my usual driving style isn't costing that much extra in fuel. I'm not a leadfoot but I do like to boost a bit when accelerating.

After a brief country drive, followed by some city driving, I have managed to achieve best figures of 450km's. I'm pretty happy with that, cos thats a huge increase from my previous best of 320ks! More to come with the DFA ?!

280kms & bout 1/3 of a tank left. Mixture of freeway & stop start traffic

Since SAFC2 was tuned, it runs so much better, and drinks a hell of a lot less fuel.

Little Johnny should put a rebate on SAFC2's! The little bugger...

new to the stagea clan with a stocker rs4.

im getting the same as i use to get with my 32, 400km's per tank (about 50-55L's to fill up).

this is all city driving to work in the centre of perth, 25km's each way so i dont think its too bad for the power it has and how much it friggin weighs :(

well guys just a quick update. Almost finished a think almost E (the warning light had not lit). Ive done 410km in one tank. I filled up with mobil synergy 8000 (98 octane). I think its pretty good i guess. &0% HWY driving though. The rest is in city with a few hammering 2 or 3 times i guess.

has anyone tried mobil boost 98[ethanol mix],is it safe.as stated i get 420-450 town 500+hwy bp ultimate.something to watch when warning light on dont park passenger side down on sloping gutter etc,1st time ever mine wouldnt start. leetom

Do a search for ethonol on here. The issue is not the RON rating, it is what the ethonol will do to your fuel system, including your fuel pump amongst other things.

But I know there are 5 or 6 really long threads with all sorts of opinions on this subject from some knowledgeable people.

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
