as above what mpg would you get running a 4x4 cosworth 380/400 bhp with siemens55s , motorway? i get 25mpg with my pinto on the motorway at 70 so hopeing i wont be too worse off with the cosworth engine lol
i know you cant have the best of both worlds but i am just wondering
thanks everyone

I know my 4i is 2wd but it is over 500bhp and uses 83lb injectors and i can get 32mpg on a run.

That is without closed loop as well

thats rather good so it will be around the 30ish mpg , its a win win really more power and its better on fuel

i looked in a ford sierra cosworth book/manuel thing and ford said that the 2wd got the same mpg as the 4x4 but to my mind its driving another 2 wheels so how dose that work lol guess its the ratios but its still mad

Mine will do 50 miles on £20 just cruising its a stage 3 3 door MSD chip

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Nah 91miles there was a bit in tank aswell only marginal tho .. Cruised Down steady pissed it


Live mapped on closed loop ... Fucking bang on on juice don't you worry

matthewpickup

do you think once i change from the 2ltr pinto to the cosworth , and the insurance asks why did you change it ?.... to make my old car more green and modern lol ... could be worth a go

matthewpickup

that is really good ... hmm think i need to look into this closed loop

caprixpack

My 924 gets around 30mpg and is standard suppose its not to bad for a 28 year old engine and 35 year old engine design

matthewpickup

i think something with abit of power all get around 30 mpg

cossie891

iTrader: (1)

Wierd why mine is shit on fuel it's doing 16 and its only a stage 3 and that is cruising around

On my old Saff running 380bhp using Siemens blacks and MSD closed loop I got over 30mpg on the motorway cruising at 70 with the odd blatt thrown in too.

It did 15mpg with the Engine Advantages chip and grey injectors before that

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Because it will want mapping and closed loop mate

cossie891

iTrader: (1)

Great loads of money

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Yep I always look at my car and say the same mate

DanCossie

iTrader: (1)

No idea, i didnt buy a cossie to worry about MPG... you buy them for fun and waiting for it to break..that is all

cossie891

iTrader: (1)

Mat I might be a bit thick but what is closed loop pal

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

It's lambda controlled fueling iirc was introduced years ago for emission iirc ...

Search net it will explain mate

cossiekevin

i did darlington to ayrshire on 34 quid crusing at 70 ish which was about half a tank.

Then did the other half the tank in 50-60 miles

MannheimAlex

My Saph does 25mpg when driveing around town. But as it is my weekend/fun car it gets a fair amount of fullthrottle.
My personal best was 30mpg while driving the autobahn at 70-80mph.

It is a MSD stage 3 on a P8.

rhinopower

I had a disappointing 37mpg from the last tankfull on my a4 tdi.

Rod-Tarry

My Pug about 44mpg
My Rover 33mpg .
My Cossie overall sub 15mpg but have seen 22mpg on a run to the shows.

I have seen about 28mpg driving really steady, but that doesn't happen too often

matthewpickup

well sounds like i will be better off than i am now so alls good

botters

iTrader: (2)

will be cheaper than all the wasted fuel mate! i was getting 30mpg after a £140 setup at msd without closed loop, well i say getting 30 i mean it was possible if i cruised but it was difficult to not boot it everywhere lol

matthewpickup

how costly is closed loop?

xr-stu

did a trackday in my standard puma, with some pootling round town the day before, then driving a few miles to and from the track on the day, i averaged 14mpg going steady i get high 30s, looks like i need to do a yb engine conversion

nixon_2wd

as most cossies dont run for that long, mp£ is a more interesting question

BIL N KEL

I went for a 200mile trip to Essex at the weekend with some enthusiastic driving and worked out when I got back I'd averaged 28-29mpg. I'm running around 380bhp on greys

Cossie92

I got about 9-10 litres per 100 km @ 100 km/h with a 4wd Cossie on T3 and greens, no lambda.

I get about 45 miles before the Feed me Light turns up up

Mapped on v-power but that's on low boost

If i turn the hks control on its gonna get more expensive

But you don't buy cars like these to moan about petrol prices

Most times i drive with no radio on as the noise of the car makes me happy

Paul_RS

I get over 30 mpg on long motorway runs. Obviously driving the car properly gets a lot less

johnandhissaffy

iTrader: (1)

fucking 15 mpg shit thats bad but ya do have the fastest cossie out there has anythink ever given you a good run 4 ya money seen a vid once of someones escos trying it and ya wee'd all over it with think yours was 5 up aswell lol

Danny555

Well I seem to be visiting this place quite a lot and now the guy behind the desk is starting to call me by my first name!



So I'm not worried at all about mpg cos I'm happy every time I take it out! At the mo it's my daily driver
