Hi guys, im just curious about how much kms you get out of a tank. Of course it depends on what mod u've got and how you drive. But i just need a rough idea.

I've got a fmic, full 3" exhaust, pod filter, and an ebc running about 10. Everything else is stock.

im using 98 octane. Just normal driving i'll get about 435 kms.

Anyone with similar mod? how much you get? im thinking of putting everything back to stock if its gonna get me further

due to the reason that i work far. Anyone running stock? how u go?

i just got pod, 3.5inch fujitsubo exhaust and i get about 400km with easy driving but i have never run the tank too close to empty so i could probably go further.... that doesnt happen anymore since i drive it harder now because im used to the car..... i get about 300-350km now.... but this is with old worn spark plugs and before my recent spring cleaning of my throttle body ( i think thats what its called)....i will fill up on tuesday and drive it soft for the next tank and see what i can get.... i should be able to get 450+ hopefully..... i'll let you know.

also it is going to be hard trying to keep the car off boost, i love the feeling of getting thrown back in my seat, so this experiment may not work but mabey i'll be able to get 350km with my normal driving instead of 250-300

haha i know the feeling... i've been experimenting a bit with fuel usage recently, not sure about the kms because when the needle is on E there's still a few more litres left etc.. but i can get about 12L/100km, which for a 65L tank equates to about 540kms for a whole tank. That's with just a 3inch turbo back exhaust, and granny driving :thumbsup:

I'm unsure how many litres the 32 gtr takes.. but i have filled it with 74L once when i was trying to run it dry. (3.5inch zaust, pods, mines ecu)

I usually fill it up with 70L on avg and do 320km very often.

Most i ever done in my gtr would b 390km / 70L.

I do drive to the city everyday tho with flowing traffic.. and i could prob use some new 02 sensors..

I think the economy is pathetic on my car but i still love it =].

My old ca18 s13 with lotsa mods used to do 300km / 60L. so meh im used to shit kms.

But no doubt u can get 400kms-500kms out of the gtr is no traffic lights or traffic exists lol.

R33 GTST

Cat back

10psi

pod

stock ECU

98 octane

approx. 450kms/tank

Best was 500kms. That made me blow my load.

Stay off boost if you want to increase kms you tightarses. As soon as you make full boost it's like you've swapped into a V8.

    • I have a VALCON if anyone wants it, I have no idea why you'd want to have VVT specifically broken out of the ECU as opposed to running it off the FCON/whatever standalone you have.
    • Hi Yes we're a bit optimistic we might get something out of sealing up the two pipes of the external wastegate and reactivating the stock one. I believe the orginal stock wastegate was tack welded shut. It doesn't budge and visually looks closed and sealed. The car has noticeably more lag so it could be at least part of the problem, maybe all. It's definately one of the key changes made since last tune. And it's one that's more difficult to fully understand and measure, not like for instance timing or cylinder compression.  Thanks for that feedback, we'll let you know how this progresses. Fingers crossed.   Regards Rob
    • Transplanting the vvt from a 25neo into an rb26?
    • Well, I was going to say, "Is the wastegate set up so that it is not leaking?" That's actually a different thing to what you're asking about. In theory, if you have allowed the two halves of the manifold to commmunicate (more than the stock manifold does - which is at least a little bit) then the negative effect should be apparent in delayed spool, not in outrigth power. OK, maybe just maybe, a badly set up twin scroll wastegate "crosstalk" might kill the top end, although it's hard to see how. What is happening with the original wastegate in the turbo? is it sealed off properly. If it's left flapping in the breeze, it will f**k everything up. If it is still there, and can be returned to service, I'd be capping off the external (presuming the two halves can and will be isolated from each other after doing so) and have a go with just the stock wastegate. I have an internal wastegate in my highflowed rear housing. The bigger opening and flapper should be fine to >250 rwkW. So there's not exactly a pressing reason to have the external. Done right, an external will give better results. Done wrong, it might just be possible to have worse results. Report back!
