what does your stage 3 cossies do to the gallon?

 

it did 17-18 mpg varied driving b4 rebuild started

will be closed loop etc when done so time will tell

 

Depends on how u drive...................

 

As Pete says.

Also depends on how well the car is mapped.

Steve

 

Average on short 10-15 mile each way journeys, around 28mpg, on a more longer run high 30's so long as foot doesn't get too excited, can squeeze with a LOT of restraint around 40 at steady 60-65, around town civilised driving between, 20-25, if booting a lot take your pick down to 15-18 no problem.
Mine is running mapped only, does have CL but haven't switched it in.
tabetha

 

Also depends if it is 2wd or 4x4.

 

Mine was around 21 miles from memory after NMS had built/mapped it....

Again as Pete/Steve say, that could quite easlily be turned into 15-17miles if driven hard too...VARIES...............

 

its a escos so 4x4

will be a mixed bag of driving styles really

 

at circa 400bhp i get about 15-18 round the doors (the way i drive....).....but on a run a week ago i was doing just over 80mph (over 3k rpm) all the way to london and i did 200 mile on the first half tank......but who the fuck cares with 400bhp at ur feet..............

 

Stu will tell you your car is running dangerously lean, or you don't know how to take mpg figures.

Steve

 

 

all i know is that its a thirsty mo fo!!!!..mind u sideways every corner....wehey!!

 

I get about 100 miles to 30 quid, whatever that works out to be, lol

mixed driving, around town, a blat down the lanes and a spot of motorway etc

 

would going cloosed loop make a big difference?

 

On emissions i can't fault it

My mpg is now worse on CL, but my TPS was knackered so was running lean.

Steve

 

I got around 180-200 miles on a full tank but its hard not to have a heavy right foot

 

theres loads of factors,, one big example is the stage 3 cossie going to use a t3 or t34 turbo.?

with a t34 i used less fuel than my t3 on motorways.


who cares what the fuel economy is anyways. instead it should be whats your average oil mpg

 

i get about 22mpg, did get it down to 9mpg once!:d

 

I didnt even notice that mine was no longer running CL untill I noticed one day that the lambda sensor wasnt there, lol

 

........not if it's mapped right in the first place.......

 

Sooooooooooo true

 

my point , if you want bhp , dont worry about the fuel, stay stage 1 or standard.

 

LOL
I remember Daz Dolomite ALG1K saying he used half a tank of fuel for one junction of the motorway
Allegedly at nearly 2XX PMSL
Might have been hearsay tho!

 

Exactly or dont buy a cosworth if you are worried about fuel

 

why are cossies wank on fuel, even when driven steady? you would think that off boost they would be just like most other 2.0 16 valve lumps.

 

They're not... you wanna try an Evo

Some of the figures you lot have mentioned seem pretty bloody good considering the spec of the cars!

 

I'm sure the fact the ECU's cant transient fuel doesn't help

 

mine does 15 mpg average, crusing at 70 mph.
But im on blacks

 

Is that a typo?

 

my 500bhp would piss over 35mpg on a cruise,

it seemed better on a bigger turbo tbh, i could stay in closed loop for longer, was in closed loop at 100mph!
i know col cos can get siimilar mpg from his

but would do about 7mpg in anger lol

 

doesn't matter what injectors ur on, thats shocking....

 

nope
well, maybe a tad exagerated, it averaged 15mpg going to pod and back the other weekend, i put me foot down a couple of times but not for long, and i did 2 runs up the strip.
It usually averages between 10-15mpg to a tank full.

 

book it in at msd for a setup, and tell stu i mentioned he could do it in 2 weeks time wink wink i hope he reads this now, as he will know what i mean

 

....think u need to get it checked out fella........

 

its only just come from msd! must be my right foot?

 

must be then lol

they can be hidious on fuel if your not carefull

you will find your baby t34.48 isnt helping matters either as they make boost really early, meaning you generally are boost fuelling all the time

 

lol, oh well! closed loop next year should help.

 

yeah it would i reckon

 

not if ur always on boost..........

 

ah well, i dont expect it to be great on fuel! im not ALWAYS on boost. ha
