Looks like you were right mate! I managed 64miles to that tenner, although i dont reckon thats too bad, as well as the top end fuel set up, it saw 140ish twice on the way home, the rest was just sat around 90mph.

A tenners deffo goin a lot further, I might be able to cruise to a show or two now and still have enough money left to get in!

Im Gonna do constant mpg as discused in a while, will pm you results, cheers again for your efforts pal

 

What you drivin these days Sonic?

 

Got a saff at the moment m8, and so far no complaints really

 

Quality quote

So 64miles on Ł10 of optimax and that included a top end setup by me on the M-way and 2x 140mph blasts by you on way home.......

Wonder what that equates too in MPG?

I still dont reckon anyone will ever find out what they do at 60mph ish cos its just too hard to stay there ina cossie

 

Whilst i remember Nick, keep an eye on this:
https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1375893

 

Next time you post, you should have a siggy

 

i can also compare with u only dont know why i had it as i never drive ibn the parameters anyhow someone will be the proud owner of the guinea pig car soon with any look

 

Gus..
Nick reckons hes going to break 100miles on Ł10 of Optimax on the new closed loop system and hes that certain he can do it hes going to try tonight

Not info i can see you ever utilising

 

i have managed a steady 70 mph run before ...
to bridgend and back .. managed to get from reading and back on nearly a tank (was running a bit low at newbury) got no idea how many miles but i was impressed

 

just looked 272 miles ish ...

 

Thats fooking terrible Pete

 

ohhh erm is it .. fook .. ok looks like a trip to blackpool is looming then

 

Thats about what I get on Stage 1 Stu

Looking forward to comparison with greens and closed loop!

Mind you, all this will be old hat by the time my shed gets back on the road!

Neil.

 

bugger... 500 mile round trip shit thats a long way 2 tanks of fuel plus then hope you realise thats a few laps of donnington less at national day

 

Cruising at 80ish id be dissapointed if you returned less than 350miles on a full tank TBH pal.

The thing is, everyones driving is different so its VERY hard to quote fuel economy figures. ROB S from this forum got something like 34mpg on the motorway on his greys and T4 closed loop and IAN M reported 32 on his greys and T34 i think, so there at least are some independant figures that are printed on this forum somewhere...

Im just waiting for the call from Sonic;
"Stu, ive run out of fuel on the M6 doing that test"

 

Top work Stu

Eagle, get your spanners out, I read somehwre Stu will be doing s Fit It Yourself kit for cars upto 803 injectors (330bhpish).......save you the trip

 

just got a chip from stu ... but im a bit of a nightmare with cars ... so looks like a trip up to get it fine tuned... things fail that never do on other peoples cars and this closed loop thing sounds good..

 

Its done Phil, in fact, the instructions are just being finalised, proof read and converted to Swedish Via MSN as we type

 

That would be a 'typical' tank - run to the girlfriends and back (100 miles of 80-90 ish), then maybe a trip or two to work (B roads but in traffic), then the rest would be my local tarmac rally stages!

Neil.

 

Yes you will all have to learn swedish to be able to read the instructions.

Im doing some test that will be finished on thursday, will let you know the results. Halfway through it looks good.

 

Ah, not at all as bad then, as level throttle is where fuel economy is found, so i thought you were refering to 276 miles of solid motorway

 

Nope, but I reckon Id be 300 absolute max on a steady run

Never managed a whole tank without beasting it one!

Neil.

 

LIKE THATS USE TO ME YEAH RIGHT

ill be hoping for 400 ish a tank from my new car

 

you just know it will happen. 34 mpg i got which is pretty fookin good. the question is if you have two cars same spec on greys, running both at same speeds one doing 15ish mpg which isnt uncommon for greys and one doing 30ish mpg [ closed loop ] where is all the extra fuel going? bore wash? fouling valves and pistons?

 

flamer kit

 

fookin hell i get 80 miles on a dohc 2i g reg with opti

 

mine pisses optimax out the exhaust

I really need to get that seen to

 

Quality wheels dude! Looks about a million times better!!

D

 

Well that was the most boring thing ive ever done!

Trip light came on , put a tenner in and jumped on the motorway......dont ask me why, it just seemed like a good idea at the time , however, the results were satisfying.Sat at an average of approx 65( never below 60 and never above 70), on a very windy carrigeway it managed 94 miles!!, (not a hundered i know stu but damn close!), until the trip light came on again.So not so bad, now all thats needed is a chip for the human brain to make this enjoyable! although i am looking forward to the savings once summer is upon us and its travel time, .

Right, guess its time to see how much fuel i can use in 94 miles now to even out my sanity!!

Many thanks for the sig stu , and the person you must have got to help you! , it looks brilliant pal

 

well mate i used Ł20 in 30 mins max the other week did apx 40 miles MAX

 

Good effort fella, i will do my best to match it!

 

fooking hell

 

 

would unplugging the amal valve help a bit

 

cant praise this conversion enuff

not just economy but the car drives much better off boost

 

Just seen that link for my sig, thanks alot Thrush, appreciate it

 

NO




























but a snapped throttle cable would

 

pmsl

 

Oh yea, thanks also to Gus, who also spent hours im sure helping develop what im now benifiting from, look forward to meeting u m8.


Dave E, hows it goin fella, just so you know, my g/box is still in one piece after taking u out , maybe youve shaken that damn curse of yours!!!

 

Nae bother mate
