Fuel economy... lol its small, but its something

im just wondering what sort of range everyone is getting in their NA's

Just copy and paste and fill in the blanks

Car:

Mods:

Driving style: (ie: granny, boy racer, soccer mum)

Driving conditions: (ie: city, highway etc)

Fuel brand: (ie: caltex 9X, BP 9X etc)

Ltr's for a full tank: (ie: how many litters does it usually take for you to fill right up)

KM's per tank: (ie: how many km's do you get per tank)

I think that's enough, if anyone else can think of anything else that would affect the economy throw it in.

Driving style: I'm fairly mild, but will rev it out every now and then

Driving conditions: its about 50/50 drive up and down the highway alot for work.

Fuel Brand: I mostly fill up with BP ultimate (98 ron)

Lt's for a full tank: around 50ltr's when im on empty (I fill up just when the light comes on)

KM's per tank: Im getting between 480 - 500 per 50 ltr's

Other comments: turbo boys can bugger off! :thumbsup:

Driving conditions: City - 430ish km, Highway - 650ish

Fuel brand: As ashamed as I am.. 91 octane.

Ltr's for a full tank: 50L (?) Dunno how many L's in a 32?

KM's per tank: City. Very poor. Country.. awesome!

A lot of us drive off boost often... mines turbo and i get 12L/100km so ~500km to a tank. Its all in how you drive it.

if you drive off boost all the time why dont you just by an na? no use owning a turbo unless you hit it

in my 1995 r33 gts i get 550kms out of 50 litres of fuel

has extractors, 2.5 inch cat back, pod

spirited driving

in my 96 gts-t i get 450kms out of 50 liters of fuel

has all the usual mods, fmic, full zorst, boost at 12psi, pod

spirited driving :banana:

i'd give up the little bit of fuel economy for the turbo anyday

Car: r33 series II

Mods: apexi n1 exhaust, apexi intake, iridium sparks

Driving style: granny + occasional burst

Driving conditions: surburban areas

Fuel brand: unleaded, but now using v-power

Ltr's for a full tank: 40-45L

KM's per tank: 400km

put it this way, how much power does your de 400/450kms per tank make? then ask the same of a det motor.

most skylines will make 400 to 450 kms per tank if it is nursed, but if thats all ya gonna do go buy a toyta echo. the turbo is there to make it fun.

Car: R31 GTS1

Mods: RB30e - Stock SVD cam, Extractors + 2.5 Mandrel Bent exhaust

Driving style: Average, occasional squirt.

Driving conditions: usually highway / country driving

Fuel brand: 92 ULP - Shell E10 where I can get it - the car loves it!

Ltr's for a full tank: 63L

KM's per tank: 700+

G/F just did a round trip to Sydney (~600 ks) 8.4L/100km acc. to the trip computer - which is highly accurate!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
