Just Bought A Stagea Only Getting 300Km To Tank

[juzzy.melb]

Had My 97 stagea now for a couple

of weeks and set to only get 300 from a tank. Im new to this beast. Boost control is turned off. Only occasional lead food. Has Apexi safc2. No ideas of setting yet. What do other users get out of a tank? Any ideas?

Replace the O2 sensor, clean the AFM.

Yeah do that ^ & throw a bottle of injector/fuel system stuff in for the happy trifecta, should be about 100ish all up! Could go for a dyno tune if your keen, but even still, dont expect any miracles with fuel consumption on these cars, they are thirsty beasts!

What kind of driving?

City should be about 400-450

Highway should be about 500+

Also, you can get the o2 sensor from a sponsor on here (vulture Motorsport)

Direct drop in for about $70

Also check ur tyre sizes. When i bought my 1st stagea it was fitted the tyres that were way smaller than the oem requirement (compliance shops just fit the cheapest crap available). That alone was worth 50kms a tank (highway)

[juzzy.melb]

Thanks guys. Will source a o2

Got 17l per100k

Got 17l per100k

If I boost a lot I get 15L per 100 but if I take it normally (work and back etc) I get about 12L per 100km

[Raysboostin]

Mine only runs stock boost, but the worst economy ive ever got on the street was 12L/100kms. On the highway it gets down to 10.5L/100kms. But mine is manual.

[GTR260]

My 260rs gets 350-400 to a tank at the moment, one of my o2 sensors is dead soo I'm replacing them both with new oem items. Hoping it. Will improve economy to 450-500.

[coparts41]

55o regularly have got 600

[juzzy.melb]

Getting an o2 sensor from vulture motorsport monday. Fitting it tuesday as well as full fluids change. Next job find centre caps for wheels r34 gtt rims, then replace rotors and pads r32. Will post results of o2 sensor change

I think I should probably get a new O2 sensor aswell.......

since my ECU died and got an auto one in there.. half a tank has only got me 120km's >.< .. I was getting 350-400 previously.... (city driving)

You know what you need to do Tom

[atomaly]

You know what you need to do Tom

haha yeah I can swap that one out myself ... or were you referring to my link/vipec + tune?

[tchard]

im of the opinion my economy is shit as well.. although this is my first turbo car, so i do boost a bit

however, i was told when my car was being tuned last time, the engine light would come on randomly for a second and the O2 sensor would be the error.

How hard is it to replace??

[Zorro]

Its easy as, 5min job!

[wolverine]

As long as you don't pick up the thread...

[tchard]

i have nfi where its even located haha
