stock turbo/ecu with basic mods it really depends.

on the freeway between 9-11l/100km

on the open road with corners and hills about 13-14l/100km

in the city taking it easy around 15l/100km

in the city hooning about 20l/100km

so depends on driving really.

i hate it how people refer to how many kms per tank, because who knows what someone else means when they say a tank? do they mean 50L (when the light flashes) or do they mean a tank as in 65L

i always fill and reset odo then fill again and work out l/100km.

so assuming we refer to a tank as 50L i get anywhere between 250-500km per tank.

I'm with RyanN, when I fill up, the needle stays at past full for ages, maybe like 80-100kms before it decides to drop quickly very suddenly.

I avg 350kms cruising the suburbs. On holiday trips I get 400-430Km because of the long hwys (needle being just above Empty)

BTW I always reset my trip counter every time I fill up

i fillup every couple weeks usually by that time as soon i pull into the petrol station the light comes on while im waiting, once filled i reset the trip a soon as i get in the car. I dont know whats going on this week as i've used up a quarter already and i've only done about 60km, and thats driving like im driving miss daisy, sometimes i get good fuel economy (for my car atleast) some weeks i don't even though i drive the same, whats will the inconsistencies?!?!

my 32GTR gets 470km out of a tank before the fuel ligh comes on. Driving smoothly most of the time and using 5th gear over 60km/h

These have a 72 litre tank so atm it costs around $90+ to fill er up on 98.

If I get up it it'll all be over in around 300k's.

Damn, the governments is getting rich off us!!

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
