Fuel Consumption Question

[Guest | hype^ |]

ok after getting my car back the other day i went for a drive around my area sunday night...

after reading the "what do u rev to" thread i took every1's advise and only reved to about 2-2.5 with very few hits to about 5-6 when giving it a little..

now i went through the better part of 3/4 of a tank and only did a little over 200K's:confused:

i read in the thread that most ppl get about 500Ks out of a tank..

so whats up with my car? why am i using so much fuel?

its pretty much a stock car.. only a mild rear exhaust and blitz bov (which does cause the car to stall sometimes when braking after boosting)

[U WERE MINE]

hahah who the hell said they get 500km? most ppl i know get 300ish per tank..

welcome to the skyline community

[Guest | hype^ |]

ok maybe it wasnt that thread, but im sure i read in some thread that ppl were getting 500 per tank..

and whatcha mean welcome?:confused: iv been around for like 2 months dude..

[bucket]

heheeh

hype dude did you get your plates ???

Hype: on highway driving I have got a 650 kms/tank using a quarter of a bottle of octane booster as an additive.

Normal city traffic driving 300 is closer to the mark or maybe a bit more.

[gizmo]

Same here at most i get 400km on a stock standard car (cat back + pod) using synegy 8000

[ex-static]

I can easily get 500ks to a tank..

[fat313]

with a S-afc, i get 400+km per tank easily. without it, i got about 330 km per tank. i got about 650KM per tank on high way.

[XrSiSt]

hmmm.. I get 350km on a full tank.

The only time i ever got more than 400 was when I went on

the Joint Syd/Canberra cruise where i got 450kms.

It all depends how hard you are on the throttle and I think in

your situation, you making up for the time it was off the road

like Georgie.

[MRK25T]

Should I buy a power FC or similar to get better fuel economy out of my SII ?

i'm getting around the 300 mark as well. I'd like to be doing 400+ so I don't have to fill up twice a week.

You will get plenty more km's out of a tank AND plenty more kw's aswell.....

bucket - yeh i ordered them dude, i should have em in about 2-3weeks

xrsist - thats just the think man, i was taking it easy (shifting at about 2-2.5) with very few bursts to about 5or6...

im acually really pissed off, i really gotta learn how to drive my car propperly... i dragged a what looked like stock commonwhore (V6 i think)

i mean i beat him, but not as easily as i would expect.

i mean my car is stock with only like 5-6pound boost (dont ask me why:confused: ) and i had a heavier friend with me.. but still....

[XrSiSt]

HYPE, have u serviced your car yet or had your injectors cleaned?

eaheahea.. don't tell me it was red? I had an experience with one

in our area.. but i'll leave that to another time....

[Guest | hype^ |]

na man i havent had it serviced yet.. iv only done about 2500k's in the 6 days that iv been driving it..

is a injector clean included in as part of standard (5000k)service?

i was gonna take it to advan they said its 150$ for standard service..

na man it was black i think.. i was at the lights at the intersection of mamre and great western hwy next to him.. i just cruised to the next lights where he went around a car to a ending lane to line up against me.. im like, uv gotta be kidding.. i just took off narmaly (prob why i didnt eat him like i should have) but he full floored , so im like kool and took it to about 6 in 1st and 2nd , by 3rd i cought up to him and over took..

I was getting 350-380km per tank on my stock R33. Then I installed a S-AFC and leaned out the mixtures to a healthy ratio and now I get 450km to a tank.

[franks]

for those guys who have installed safc's and have returned improved fuel efficiency's, who did your tuning? any tips on what and how to tune your safc? what ratio did you tune to?

what AFR do skylines (R34 GTT if you know) run stock? 10.5:1 ?

by leaning out mixtures, how did you find your performance? any noticeable increase or decrease?

i'd also like to hear from those ppl who have installed safc's and returned no or worse improvement?

fyi, with cat back exhaust & air filter the GTT averages about 330-350km city driving. add a trip to wollongong and it'll do 410-430km with a couple of spirited hits...

city driving and a old pacific hwy run and it did just over 300km's! thats woeful...

cheers,

My GTR will return 10L/100km's country (110kph) cruising and as long as you aren't giving it too much when cold or fanging it all the time will get under 15L/100km's with city driving.

[franks]

i also have a feeling that Shell Optimax lasts longer than Mobil Synergy 8000......"drives your dollar further" so they say???

[skyzerr33]

NSW's have shitty fuel is my theory.

i get 650 out of tank easy i push 700 if i drop the boost back to 7psi.

thats with 10psi and a safc.

[adam 32]

i get around 400-450kms around town, and the engine is running like pig at the moment, with a bigger fuel pump but std fuel map. still havent got round to tuning it yet, its almost worth the money simply due to the money you can save on fuel...
