Under 10 litres per 100kms should be attainable quite easily in highway conditions. However, you won't get it if your sitting on 120km/h. Car returns great fuel economy around the 90km/h with the auto trans locked up on the highway. Remember the trip computer goes off the tank level, and is not the height of accuracy if your fuel gauge is inaccurate. Also the tank has a strange shape that can trap several litres of fuel in the opposite side to the pump pickup.

at 400km i'm sitting on about 1/8 of a tank in my normal driving routine ( 20% highway with roadworks, 80% city). but on the trip from Rockhampton -> Gold Coast i was smack bang on 10L/100km @120km/h , even with the current 15,000,000 roadworks that are happening on the highway

Thats shit. You should be running o2 correction fine because your supercharged. If you are gentle on it, it would return decent econ, a little worse than stock.

If you can't get O2 to work, get it retuned with a Uprev, and sell the Fcon. Mine was tuned rich with boost but still never came close to that kind of fuel usage AND I didn't use O2 correction, just road tune.

Ok, 300kms highway and 47km city used 31L. This equated to approximately 8.9L/100km.

Yesterday's cruise used about the same amount and that was 220kms. Was keeping her up in the revs around the mountains though. That equates to 14l/100km. Which is about right when you're almost always sitting at 4-5k rev with heavy braking around sharp turns and powering out of them.

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
