Sorry should have made it a bit clearer.....

The readings were taken when that mark was reached, so from the 1/4 mark until the E light came on was 96kms.

I can only do ~30kms on my light, I have done it before, and conked out :devil:

And while we're on it... putting car in neutral while coasting isn't a good idea, idling requires more fuel than an overrun situation (I doubt SK could turn off his injectors while idling right?). And also, good work!

I've been shocked at the pitiful range on the fuel light the Stagea has compared to other japs, caught me out when I first bought it.

Oh, and to really measure fuel consumption accurately, you wanna full tank to brim, drive til about empty with tripometer recording, refill to brim, and however many litres that fill required vs the K's you've just done is your economy. But then maybe you were just looking specifically for max k's outta one tank, hence you should have run it dry for us!!! ahahaha

Well I did an 'economy run' recently in my stock S2 stagea, keeping off boost where possible and I got 12.8L/100km, measured using the method in the above post. I like to reset the km's every time i fuel up so I can work out my fuel economy.

Driving how I normally do I get between 13.5 and 14L/100km (city driving, mostly peak hour traffic) and the above figure included a fair bit of driving outside peak hours so its a little bit optimistic.

Not that much difference between the two figures though which I thought was great because it means my usual driving style isn't costing that much extra in fuel. I'm not a leadfoot but I do like to boost a bit when accelerating.

After a brief country drive, followed by some city driving, I have managed to achieve best figures of 450km's. I'm pretty happy with that, cos thats a huge increase from my previous best of 320ks! More to come with the DFA ?!

280kms & bout 1/3 of a tank left. Mixture of freeway & stop start traffic

Since SAFC2 was tuned, it runs so much better, and drinks a hell of a lot less fuel.

Little Johnny should put a rebate on SAFC2's! The little bugger...

new to the stagea clan with a stocker rs4.

im getting the same as i use to get with my 32, 400km's per tank (about 50-55L's to fill up).

this is all city driving to work in the centre of perth, 25km's each way so i dont think its too bad for the power it has and how much it friggin weighs :(

well guys just a quick update. Almost finished a think almost E (the warning light had not lit). Ive done 410km in one tank. I filled up with mobil synergy 8000 (98 octane). I think its pretty good i guess. &0% HWY driving though. The rest is in city with a few hammering 2 or 3 times i guess.

has anyone tried mobil boost 98[ethanol mix],is it safe.as stated i get 420-450 town 500+hwy bp ultimate.something to watch when warning light on dont park passenger side down on sloping gutter etc,1st time ever mine wouldnt start. leetom

Do a search for ethonol on here. The issue is not the RON rating, it is what the ethonol will do to your fuel system, including your fuel pump amongst other things.

But I know there are 5 or 6 really long threads with all sorts of opinions on this subject from some knowledgeable people.

    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
    • It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
