I consistently use 16L/100. Mind you I live in a very hilly twisty area. Its fun to drive. I'm not complaining.

Have a few mods, still in the garage, but when fitted should ease the consumption.

Looking to the SEQ meet next weekend to sort a few things.

I thought my mods would ease my consumption too, but it's still about the same as when I bought the car over 3 years ago. I guess I could look at it that I'm getting more power for the same fuel, so therefore my consumption is being optimised, but not reduced.

unfortunately trying to calculate your fuel usage based on kms per tank gives everyone wildly varying results, as you dont know at what point each person fills their tank. the best way is to fill to the brim, drive for a while, fill to the brim again and calulate litres/100km using your trip counter and the figure on the pump.

around town i get 14 - 15L/100km, and thats a totally stock 96 model, driven lightly. the o2 sensor is probably up for replacement

thats what i've done in previous threads, but CBF'd these days, if i don't know what it uses, there is no reason to sell it :)

I have a Series 2 RS4 S so its manual... but I currently I am on nearly 500km to the tank and I havent hit the 'e' yet nor has the light come on so i think there is still a bit left in it.

It is also running 190rwkw.

Bloody hell that's awesome. What mods?

Yeah I love driving it! you can feel the extra weight over a skyline but now that I am used to it it is great! and besides before this I had a Mitusbishi GTO which was quite a heavy bugger 1700kg, however when it was on the freeway in 6th it would return 9l / 100km and that was with over 270 awkw Motec etc etc....

Mods to the stagea are,

Full exhust which is so quiet you would think it was stock

Trust front mount

Blitz ID3 boost controller

Power FC

Fuel Pump

BMC Panel filter

The injectors are maxed out so next will be

Injectors

HKS GTRS

Z32

possibly some cams but ill see how she goes!

I wouldnt expect the fuel consumption to get any worse unless I thrash it of course.

I was very suprised to see that my car got 536kms on 61ltrs of fuel. Only thing I did differently was fill up at a different BP. This little BP is sort of out of the mainstream traffic... so perhaps the 'main' one on read street is doing something to thier fuel :D

I was rather happy about that.. still prefer a car that will get 8/100kms though :nyaanyaa:

OK, So i have just taken the car ( 2000 s2 Stagea) on a long run down the South Coast and managed 545km mostly hwy. Its a large difference from 300km City lol.

Yeah, massive massive difference when driving on highway compared to city driving... I noticed that too.

You need a dog sled. LOLLOLLOL.

Have fitted a new O2 sensor, 3" JJ bell mouth dump and X Force Hi Flow Cat and have 3' Cat Back.

Immediately noticed how much smoother she drives, also the extra response and power. Exhaust note is still super quiet so no boy racer accoustics affecting my judgement.

Have not had chance to check consumption, normally 16 or so. What I have noticed is that the exhaust is no longer like the insides of a coal fired chimney. Its not a grey lean burn look, but black with just a tinge of grey. Im thinking it is looking good.

Have found an auto elec up here on the Mountain who can fit my DFA,A/F ratio meter, O2 Sensor voltage meter and ALL my gauges. I am just gettint TFO to do it myself.

I'll keep you posted.

i just went for a trip over easter, Adelaide to bordertown and back. i have a series II RSV auto and filled up when i left and when i was just over 100 kms from home and just touching the 1/4 mark i filled up again. i had done 471 km and had used 54L. i seem to have a 60l tank so maybe the rwd's have an extra 5 ltr capacity. i consistently get around 480 to 520 km around town. i dont seem to get that much better economy when im out on the open road but i think i need to get my trans serviced as im not really sure if it kicks into over drive properly. my car sits on or just under 3000rpm at 110km/h does that sound about right to u guys or is that higher than normal. as far as i know the autos are a 4 speed with overdrive or is fouth the overdive gear.

mods are full exhaust with decat pipe and a trust airinx air filter

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
