Fuel Milage On A Rb25De

[ajay.R33]

hey guys, i just wanted to know how much everyone that owns a rb25de gets out of a fuel tank?

my car gets around 350-400? i got a r33 s2 with a rb25de and i dont know weather its thirsty or thats just the standard milage for a n/a?

maybe a bit but not overly, if you try not having it flat so much u save alot on fuel... trust me lol

as rob posted, it's been covered, but as i say in EVERY fuel economy thread, don't just post up how many kms you are getting before you fill up. calculate it into L/100kms otherwise it means absolutely nothing in terms of fuel economy. what you are classing as a tank full may be 20L different to what someone else is, so the actual economy you are getting will be drastically different, but the distance between fillups will be the same. if you don't put it into fuel economy terms then you won't get accurate answers.

I used to get around 10l/100km pretty easily when i used to travel on the fway alot in my skyline.

these days with a fair bit more driving closer to home and in slightly busier traffic im gettin about 11-12L/100km - still pretty decent imo, the fuel consumption doesnt bother me too much at all!

if you mean you get 350-400km out of a full tank thatd be around 15? I think we have a 60 or 65L tank.

If you're driving harder that'd prob be about right .. I'm a bit of a granny on the roads.

it's that bad?! I get 12.4 l/ 100 avg (mixed highway and street driving) from a 6L V8 lol, and i dont go easy on it. I would think you should be getting at least 500km a tank / MAX 10L / 100 on a N/A skyline.

difference between NA and Turbo is sfa

Ye with the short gearing of the Atmo cars it negates any economy gains to be had

[bozodos]

damn, one might even go as far as to say that they were under engined?

Surprised there isnt anyone rocking an RD28 diesel HR31 in here lol

[zebra]

even the turbo ones are under engined imo

shouldve been 3L from factory minimum

they are a pretty highly strung engine. that's why their economy sucks donkey balls for a 2.5L engine. gearing isn't that much worse than any other small engined car. they don't have the torque to run tall gearing like bigger cube engines. if they did have tall gearing then they would be shockingly slow (in the same way that if falcodores had shorter gearing they would give mildly modded gtst's a run for their money).

400km to 50L +- 2L

and i dont drive like an angel anymore.

this ^^^ would explain why there is so many aftermarket stroker kits

[zebra]

more stoker kits for big block V8s than there is Jap turbo motors

From memory it was a rego/tax thing in Japan, small engine means less $$$ to register = more appealing to buyers

Quite true . . .new stroker kit out for toyota 4AGE available now

they have the same thing in singapore .. most cars there have smaller engines than the same car here.

I believe lancers have a 1.6 there whereas we get a 2.0, same with alot of other cars!

[xALmoN]

rego/year for sub 1.6L engines are 760sgd/year.

rego/year for 1.8 engines 900+sgd/year

rego/year for 2L engines 1200+sgd/year

rego for a 350z is 3600/year LOL

Remind me not to buy a Dodge Viper over there lol

[Jonno34]

haha .. amusingly HSV's cars have started to be sold in singapore!!

Prices start at 268,000 SGD for the Maloo, and up to 338,000 SGD for a Grange - and this is without COE!

COE in singapore is apparently 91,000 for a car above 1600cc .. close to 350,000 SGD for a maloo!

Road taxes of: 7,332 SGD a year!!!

**edit - had a revelation: this must be why asians love rice so much ... evolution/survival theory: in order to avoid monstrous road taxes and COE payments, we have grown to like small capacity cars .. with lots of body kits, and mods - cos labour is cheap there.

time to write my psychology thesis on this lol
