i took my car to karl norris before christmas when he lived in coventry to get it mapped because it was doing 15 to the gallon not booting it.he said i will be able to get 25 to 30 but my cossie running was crap so i got all the new gear from jano, after re mapping it and driving back from derby where he had moved i thought it was alright till i drove as normal every day then to my disgust i found that i had gone to 12 to the galleon ie 50 mile on 20 quid. i tried e mail and phoning him but a waste of time same old story had your money and dont wont to know. so who can tell me what i should be getting on this spec of engine or who can i e mail to sort this problem out

 

Could you write that in english please? And someone may be able to help you..

 

Karl Norris is a god... show some respect!

If your worried about MPG why in good fuck are you driving an RS?

 

Indeed norris is.... I also think chuck is a legend too

Its the way its written it doesnt make much sense...

If your car is 250-300bhp what kind of mpg were you hoping for ?

 

mine does 10- 5 to the gallon , if u want a car thats good on petrol dont buy a highly tuned rs turbo

 

i would have thought with after market management, and off boost driving it would be possible to achive a decent mpg,

the old mans just had his skyline remaped (with new ecu , apexi power fc) and even on a 2.6 twin turbo with bigger turbos and making nearly 500 bhp he still gets 29 mpg on the motor way,

my crapy mfi escort runing 1.5+ bar still gives at least 22 in normal driving

 

so what mpg should you get when driving normal them thats an easy question

 

like i said, i get bout 22,

18 round town if pulling away alot

abouyt 10 if canning it

 

I have to say that it IS possible to have an RST that is reasonable on fuel, of course it depends on what spec it is.

Mine has an Omex 710 Series ECU and 525cc Injectors. I see over 200 miles to a tank-full without any problems and that is at 350bhp. I am quite pleased with that. Haven't worked out MPG, but it must be close to 18-20 on average, which at that spec is fine.

This is because alot of time has been spent working on the off-boost and driveability mapping. This is something that takes time and costs money and is only as good as your management system allows versus the time spent setting it up.

K-Jet is thirsty if you are running high power and the only real way to get any level of economy is to run a 5th Injector, so that you can have sensible off-boost fuelling and chuck extra fuel in when needed.

 

Have you tried calling the unit at different times, as if the 3 of them are busy with a job or out on test, its gotta be difficult to catch every call

i rang the other day and booked our s1 in no probs

 

My S2 is ok when driven with some care, it's not what I would economical though but then it is an old Ford Escort at the end of the day.

 

S1?

 

yes
it's 'our Janes' boyfriends hoping she gets to smoke this one about like his old Focus RS
it lived on my drive for a couple of weeks so it's 'ours' now lol
has grey leather retrim and diamond cut rs 7 spokes

 

Bloody women get their hands on something for more than 10 minutes and they claim it for themselves!

 

i agree, my turbo is on gotec, and on off boost drivin i get 130 mile to £20 but flat out it would empty in 50 mile easy

 

hehehe tis true Daz!
i do like this s1 tho

 

mines a larger capacity cvh and it drinks the fuel aswell, tis very hard to drive mine off the boost cus it starts positive boosting so early.
i get 150 miles to a tank normally and just over 200 on a run, i put it down to the old mfi system not being very efficient

 

my chipped RST gets 301 miles to a tank about 29mpg mixed driving

 

That does look like a nice one to be honest!

Still not yours though is it!!!

 

Not yet the thought has crossed my mind what i'd do if he decides to sell it think it's a bit pretty for taking on track tho

 

Lol at not yet!

I've set up a 'linsay exclusion zone' around my car in case you happen to walk near it and 'claim' it!

 

ha ha ha, no you have to leave it at my house for a bit for it to be claimed

 

So you don't go round writing down registrations and applying for log books on the off chance then?

don't go into the car storage business will you!

 

no room at the moment for car storage business got 1 too many to fit on the drive, will have to get this kleptomania sorted out
