250kms if I am lucky..

PULP and Octane Booster. No access to 98, so I run BP PULP and I used Nulon Pro Strength Octane Booster as insurance as our fuel is not the best up here. Tuned on PULP..

Worst tank 165kms

Best tank 330kms

Most fun tank was definitely the 165km tank..

i used to get about 300km/tank

i put some wynns injector cleaner in a few weeks ago, and it got 400km, and have had consistantly over 350km since :O

anyone know any ways to stop the stock ecu running so damn rich?

i cleaned my car last week, used about 2 tanks of fuel on the weekend, and have a MASSIVE fuel stain on the back already.

i can hold my hand to the exhaust, and i get black dots on it!

safc II help perhaps?

My car gets similar economy to Gazza750's...R32 GTR, most km's i've ever had to a tank was 480, driving only in metro area. Usually get around 450 - 460. I run 0.9 bar of boost and i've worked out that with the mines rom, my car likes a bit of a poke for the first 1/4 to 1/3 of a tank as it seems to burn more efficiently or something. After that I drive it pretty tame, as the tune is very rich. High speed really chews through the juice - even just a short stint :P If I incorporate a cruise, i'll be lucky to make 400km to the tank.

Car is my daily driver. If I fill up once the empty light is on, i'm looking at $85 - $90 for medium priced Ultimate 98 (I find the price ranges between 1.41 and 1.51 p/l). I get through that in less than a week. Car has a few nice mods but is relatively stock.

Not sure if the tank is bigger but I got roughly 550kms with 1/8 of a tank left on a run from Kalgoorlie back to Perth... Forgot to add, that was doing 120km p/h majority of the drive..

She doesn't like city driving, seems to chew threw it pretty quick!!

Most I have got is 520 kms driving like an old man around town while I was still living in Sydney, but on a long haul I sneak up to 580 + Kms....

Track day at Eastern Creek = 170 or so Kms...

Driving around town normally 480 +kms

Driving around with a bit of gusto 350-ish

That is all

Mike

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
