you should get that looked at

How many Km's do you'se guys get out of a full tank of petrol?

I get about 320-350 when I drive my car sensibly and dont drive lead footed

My car is fairly stock tho, appart from a cooler and 3 inch turbo back

Is this average, or whats going on here?

well my fuel sensor is weird! at the bottom half of the tank i get around 100km and the top half around 200-250km

mine used to do the same till i lost economy i used to got 200+ kms before the gauge started moving now its around the 125 mark

all up i can push 400 out of it fuel light comes on @ about 300ish i used to not get the fuel light even little past 350

very inaccurate way of checking fuel consumption guys cause if the gauge isn't reading correctly, you could still have 100km's left in the tank when the light comes on.

Fill up & zero your counter, fill up again when your light comes on then make note of your odometer & litres used and divide one into the other.

The past 3 fuel tank in the last week or so I've been getting about 450km out of the tank, and that is with hard hills driving included + boosting hard with each fill up! and when I fill up I still have something about 6-9L left. Using BP Ultimate, about 180rwkw untuned.

I installed new coil packs just before i filled up the other night, and i reset the counter. I havent measured the amount of k's from a full tank for a few years now, and i've added a few mods to the car since i last measured it. i'll be interested to see if i can get over 350km's.

I think my stock ecu is making the engine run R&R - i get this massive creep of power after 5500rpm (the car literally throws me back in my seat); through the midrange its somewhat weaker. Not nice!

Need to do some investigating... The time for a powerfc and tune may be here...

Hey crew,

I get roughtly 11-12L/100kms, and have even been in the 10s. Fuel per tank is about 500-550kms.

This is with 11psi, FMIC, Full exhaust, and a fairly heavy right foot when in the mood - frequently :P

I might be one of the lucky ones with my ECU by the sounds of things. Come to think of it, even with higher boost, I have never felt flatspot, or R&R, that is commonally mentioned.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
