How many Km's do you'se guys get out of a full tank of petrol?

I get about 320-350 when I drive my car sensibly and dont drive lead footed

My car is fairly stock tho, appart from a cooler and 3 inch turbo back

Is this average, or whats going on here?

well my fuel sensor is weird! at the bottom half of the tank i get around 100km and the top half around 200-250km

mine used to do the same till i lost economy i used to got 200+ kms before the gauge started moving now its around the 125 mark

all up i can push 400 out of it fuel light comes on @ about 300ish i used to not get the fuel light even little past 350

very inaccurate way of checking fuel consumption guys cause if the gauge isn't reading correctly, you could still have 100km's left in the tank when the light comes on.

Fill up & zero your counter, fill up again when your light comes on then make note of your odometer & litres used and divide one into the other.

The past 3 fuel tank in the last week or so I've been getting about 450km out of the tank, and that is with hard hills driving included + boosting hard with each fill up! and when I fill up I still have something about 6-9L left. Using BP Ultimate, about 180rwkw untuned.

I installed new coil packs just before i filled up the other night, and i reset the counter. I havent measured the amount of k's from a full tank for a few years now, and i've added a few mods to the car since i last measured it. i'll be interested to see if i can get over 350km's.

I think my stock ecu is making the engine run R&R - i get this massive creep of power after 5500rpm (the car literally throws me back in my seat); through the midrange its somewhat weaker. Not nice!

Need to do some investigating... The time for a powerfc and tune may be here...

Hey crew,

I get roughtly 11-12L/100kms, and have even been in the 10s. Fuel per tank is about 500-550kms.

This is with 11psi, FMIC, Full exhaust, and a fairly heavy right foot when in the mood - frequently :P

I might be one of the lucky ones with my ECU by the sounds of things. Come to think of it, even with higher boost, I have never felt flatspot, or R&R, that is commonally mentioned.

      I've watched some vids and the technique seems to be to butt the sheets up to one another and use MIG to spot weld and slowly fill in the spots until its eventually all sealed. No runs as you would normally do, as there's too much heat generated that way. Yeah my stick welds are terrible these days because its been so long since i've done any of it. I expect to be spending many hours practicing

      I have personally seen a Tomei USA RB26 cam that didn't even fit the head. Kind of nuts to me that it was even possible for that to happen but such is life.  There's two UP Garages in the US. One is a US branch of the Japanese company which sells things they brought over at tremendous markup. The other is University Place Garage/Fairlady Motors which is a shop best known for putting VCAM in RBs and trying to convince people to stop putting in 800hp of turbo on a 2.5L motor.

      Gasless MIG is not exactly suited to what I would call "delicate" or "attractive" welding. So I would rule it out for sheet metal rust repair type stuff, unless you're only doing it in hidden places. I'm thinking about getting myself a gasless MIG for "hack together" type work. Noting that my welding experience is very very low, and quite a long time ago. So I'm also looking for "simple", but I'm not expecting "excellent". I'm not even sure that proper MIG is the best for sheet metal work. I get the feeling that the degree of control and the minimisation of heat input that you get from TIG is probably what you really want. And then you have to get good at doing it before the welds won't look like a monkey flinging a handful of shit anyway. You're probably SOL for an easy and cheap way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Much like myself.

      Any recommendations for what would be the easiest welding type to start on, for sheet metal rust repairs and maybe some exhaust piping too? Seems like MIG is the most common. Would gasless MIG be ok to learn on and do some simple jobs? I have a stick welder which has a Lift TIG setting, but i'm more interested in getting whatever's easiest to do, and most suitable, rather than using what i have.
