Rb26 Fuel Consumption

[Char]

im lookin at a R32 with an RB26dett RWD not GTR would be interested (before i take the sale further) to know a rough idea how many k's GTR's or if possible RB26 skylines are getting at the moment

i've looked on few sites with various people some saying 250 some saying 450. pretty vague!

any ideas would be awes cheers ppl.

I drive mine daily, often with a heavy right foot, light mods + stock tune... I get 400km to a tank (65L) consistently.

There have been a number of threads on the issue all over the forum, so make sure you use the search button in future, OK?

[masTers]

All depends on the tune as well dude.

Twincam RB30 in my 32 gtst, RB25 turbo, very rich tune, I get ~300km to a tank or closer to 400km if it's all highway driving. I think a GTR tank is about 10L bigger than a GTSt though...

I didn't buy a skyline to be economical.

If the price of fuel worries you then get a bunky for daily duties.

i could see over 400km of a tank if i ever had a spare $111.15 to fill it up to the brim everytime i was at the bowser:P

gtr 72 litre tank most i have ever been able to fit in is about 65 litres and i get between 400 -450 to a tank

Filled up from just under an 1/8th of a tank last night.. cost $76 @ 170.9

Usual stuff on depending on how heavy right foot is blah blah blah but general metro driving will net between 400 - 450km a fill and country trip will almost crack 500 (never been game to push it cause i dont want to have to push it if you get my drift). Rebuilt 26 with N1's, PFC Djetro, 700cc sard injectors etc.

I had to use the GTR for daily duties last year and racked up a few K's and it wasn't too much worse than the BA Falcon work vehicle i have now (although the ford gets more right foot)

In short they're not bad for what they were designed to be.

[bubba]

Take an average between my car and the GTR's and you've probably got your answer..

[phenline]

thank the gods we solved that mystery

[PX29]

I get about 400-450kms (32gtr minor mods/sensible driving)......$109.00 to fill tank.....anyone done a gas conversion...? um.....

I fill my tank with dollar amounts, $80 gets me just over 300km with a small amount of spirited driving.

The only RB26 RWD I know of is [5KYLINE], yellow 32

Ive managed to crack 500ks with a combo of freeway and city driving

New 02 sensors help as well as a free flowing intake and exhaust.

That was on a rebuilt engine on a rich ish run in tune on 9psi boost

[Flash89]

well you also got master's car, but that car is pulling 445hp etc etc

[Tomei_33]

with 1 bar, un-tuned and 2860's- 5s my fuel consumption has gone from ~500km(stock) to 400-450km per 62lt~ tank

[bubba]

I can think of 3x 26'd rwd 32's off the top of my head...

[5KYLINE], masters' red beast and Flash89's car.

GTR consumption per TANK is a bit misleading as our tanks are a fair bit smaller..

I get about 14.5L/100km.

[bnr#@]

Worst Ive goten so far is 13.8ltr/100ks best is 11.9ltr/100ks

Car does 275hp atw on 9psi

they aren't cheap to run on fuel. As long as you are cool with that who cares?

hahahahahaha @ buying an RB26 and worrying about fuel consumption...

Trust me, that's going to be the least of your financial worries.
