Fuel Consumption, Gtr Vs Gts-t

[moneybags]

Hey guys,

I just wanna know how much u guys r spendin on fuel a week, giving it a bit and not giving it a bit, like i wanna compare a relativley stock gtr to a mild modded gtst, pleave forgive me if this has been covered and re-direct me to the right thread.

Cheers

John

i got a relitivly stock gtst , im getting abut 350 a tank, is that normal ???

[Modena]

Ive got a basically stock R33 S2 GTS-T... on BP ultimate I get over 400 KMs to a tank, on Optimax I get around 380...

[N1GTR]

GTR - can get as low as 200k's to a tank

Depends how you drive it

[steve_gts4]

that being said, i got 420km out of about 5/8th of a tank in my gtr over the weekend

[noise]

gtt about 350 i guess

[moneybags]

hey N1GTR,

but if u drive smoothly ud get way more than 200 ay

i heard that gtr's get really crappy economy due to the fact they have no plenum ???

I get about 300km to 34 litres on my RB30DET with 350rwhp

[hanyou]

in my r33 gtst it was 300km a tank. and wid my gtr its about 450-500km tank.

how can that be?

I use BP Ultimate in my GT-R. If you drive like an absolute granma and pretty much never send the boost gauge too far above the zero mark/ always change up at 3000rpm or so, then you can get 600-650km out of a tank if you do mostly constant driving (till the fuel light comes on). But that's pretty painful.

I managed 400kms on 3/4 of a tank recently with a mix of light fanging/cruising/highway and city/town driving. Also, my car uses a plug'n'play Microtech LTX12 computer, which uses the Throttle Vs Map fuelling control, which is supposed to be more efficient than using the AFM's (A number of people have commented that they get better fuel economy when they set their Power FCs up with the D-Jetro option [which makes it work like the Microtech])

How bad can it get?- My car makes 260rwkW with stock turbs, and I once used 3/4 of a tank to travel 160km, which consisted of heaps and heaps of full-throttle thrashing.

What price fun?

isn't this what he is implying?

I get about 450kms to a tank during the working week and weekend fun is literally half that

[Trust33]

R33 gtst fair mods,stock turbo.

320 km average 450km max.

Though that being said i have never had the light come on.And i allways fill up on performance fuel.

I've heard GTR's use twice as much fuel because they have two turbos..

<cough>

[lordsnipe]

GTRs also have bigger tanks.

I think the 32 has like a 71L tank... so even when compared to the gtst, it loses cos it gets less mileage on a bigger tank!

But you don't drive/own a GTR because of it's fuel economy...

[Modena]

I wonder how many litres per 100 KM a Ferrari modena or F50 drinks? I read somewhere that F430 they were testing drank like 30 litres per 100 km.

[moneybags]

cool thanx for the info from all u guys out there, still deciding on weather to buy the gtr tho has anyone see the black 32 with the white mags at autostyle? what do u reckon of that. sorry to go off topic

I meant bouncing it off the rev limiter

Of course it will be better on fuel without full boost, they can be quite good on fuel if you dont drive it on boost - but really, why else would you drive a GTR?

isn't this what he is implying?

Yes, thats what i was implying

Hope this helps

Feel free to PM me if you want to know more

better fuel economy with a map sensor system is load of poo, it wont matter. engine load is engine load. its just tuned differently.

i get 400k's to a full tank on city

and 600ks on highway

[Cubes]

I fill up once a fortnight. I get anywhere from 420km's right up to almost 500 depending on how and where I drive.

I never drive on the open road.
