I'm at nearly 400ks for this current tank and it's getting damn close to fuel light time. I reckon I'll just nick 400 when it comes on. I would expect better for the driving I do (works out to be around 15l/100ks).

Mostly suburb driving. Still haven't figured out what my crappy miss is. Starting to lean towards coil packs. Might try gapping my plugs down and see if that helps a bit.

there is a procedure to get the stock ecu to flash it out

or buy a new one

check your pcv grommet, mine was cactus and made it idle a little off

I've got a PFC.

Haven't checked the PCV yet.

Back from out little Cobram camping trip yesterday...

Filled up with 74.52L. Trip said I had covered 964kms.

12.9km/L or roughly 7.8L/100 :)

Downside was that there is a section of my current map that dumps fuel like no other (can see the economy drop 5-6km/L on the leaf almost instantly) and causes a "Bank 1 too rich" (0172) CEL. Just pull over and clear it. Doesn't pop up again unless I forget where it is (throttle pedal position at certain speeds).

Didn't show up at all yesterday :D

That's bloody good economy Cam!:thumbsup:

Has yours been on a dyno yet, or are you just running a "Guesstimate" tune atm?

Be very careful Cam... your economy is better than my car and I know I am running lean.

Yes. It was an a dyno for a tune, but had a clogged fuel filter (prob the one from factory as I'd never changed mine).

Massively lean above 4500rpm but below that the AFR's were "good", so it was only tuned below 4500rpm

Filter changed last week and my normal economy of 9.7km/L dropped to 9.3km/L (same driving) and was much more difficult to keep high.

Seems very lean Cam, want to borrow my spare wideband?

Yes, will need to work out a time to come over methinks.

So I hear :)

170k's to half tank. BP98 :(

Half a tank might not be half a tank. Run it to the fuel light and then see how much it takes to fill and calculate from there.

I'm just managing to squeeze 200 ks out of 30 lts of premium just city driving , this seems like it could b better , only had the car for a short while ( 250 t rs four ) aero pack , really enjoying the ride but would like some better economy , can you make any adjustments on the trip comp to the leaness or do you advise a run on the dyno , it's due for a service in a couple of months what should they be doing to improve economy

You cant tune without some method of adjusting the timing and injector pulses, like an emanage or Fcon. Even then you will find on cruise there is little improvement in economy as the stock ecu does a very good job of it anyway. It has to, to pass the emissions test.

As far as making it all run as sweet as you can, change the o2 sensor in the exhaust, get your injectors cleaned and flow tested and run a good quality oil and all should be well. :cheers:

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
