My Car Has Shocking Economy

[nizmonut]

anyway, rb30/26det highbrid t51r kai 1000cc sard injectors, 200kms 80 litres.

[Cubes]

Car: R32 GTST

Mods: RB30DET GT30r .82 @ 15psi; GTR injectors; RB25DE head ported polished & valve deshroud.

Driving style: Brisk acceleration always on a little boost with the occasional (at least once per drive) WOT

Driving conditions: Local 50-80km/h

Fuel brand: Shell 98

Ltr's for a full tank: 50litres

KM's per tank: 450km's (RB20DET used to get 470km's when it was running 1bar on the std turbo and std ecu)

New O2 sensor, New Z32 afm, recently flowed and cleaned injectors, no vac leaks and just a good tune.

Just dropped a set of 265/263 (221deg @ 0.050") 9mm cams in... Will be interesting to watch fuel economy plummet.

110 Inlet LCA; 115 exh LCA; 112.5 LSA so it idles smooth but just a bit deeper/throbs more and louder.

This is the NA Section.. What are you guys doing?

[SKYL1N]

You turbo boys must be pretty bored to swing over and read the threads in "the dark side"

[-R33GTS-]

more like filling a void

[Cubes]

hahaha... As they say.. Keeping it real.. There's next to no difference between the turbo's and N/A's unless your constantly up the turbo of which on the street isn't all that often.

Nothing wrong with the dark side.

I'm waiting for some one to post a progress thread of a mean rb30de n/a or rb25de n/a - 12:1 static comp running on E85 loping like nothing on earth; thats really why I'm lurking.

Fuel brand: Shell 98 majority of the time, sometimes Safeway 98

Ltr's for a full tank: 65L (stock tank)

BEST consumption: 9.8L/100 (city) and 8.8L/100(highway)

WORST consumption: 14.8L/100 (city - I have no idea why?????) 9.2L/100 (highway)

Notes: Car has stock rear spoiler and weather shields, which could cause extra drag. 17" GTT wheels are wider than the stock 16" - this can also cause more drag - Tires are inflated to factory spec 36PSI.

[lammy426]

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.

my de makes 378bhp and does 300km to 45 litre of v power and shed loads of rubber smoke,caned all the way ,,,sorry forgot to say its a de+t but it still makes more power than a det at 10psi boost

Edited July 15, 2008 by lammy426

[-R33GTS-]

Well off coarse it will.. you've still got your high compression pistons then a turbo - not to mention you car is no longer a DE mate..

but it still makes more power than a det at 10psi boost

lol than who's DET in particular dood? what point are you trying to make?

[lammy426]

lol than who's DET in particular dood? what point are you trying to make?

its still a de its just got +t after it, its like saying its not gtr engine if you put a single turbo on it or its not a det engine if you put 2 turbo's on it,another angle it can't be a de if you put a supercharger on it or even nos.you could say its not an na any more but whatever you do to a de its still a de because thats just an engine model number/letters

[GMan]

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.

this might seem weird but sometimes i find that if i go on boost every now and then i actually get more kms out of it rather than just driving off boost all the time.

[-R33GTS-]

Don't worry John.

[lammy426]

Don't worry John.

ok i won't,thanks john

So, just to keep the NA boys happy with there good fuel economy.

Car: R33 GTS-t

Engie + Mods: RB30DET, valve job, small set of cams, light weight fly wheel, T04R + 6boost mani, Plazmaman FMIC.

Highway economy: 17L/100KM...

City Economy: 25L/100KM...

The ability to press the loud pedal and put myself in the backseat... INSANE...

Yes, that fuel economy is why as of tomorrow night, it won't have been driven for 6 weeks, and why it has also only been started for around 15 seconds a week ago.

Goes in for a tune in just over a week hopefully.
