Need a bit of info troops, my stg3 saff was never excellent on fuel but recently its got right bad, going about town not to hard, just a couple of bursts here and there i got 18 mile to a tenner. Now its not long been set up ( five weeks or so ) but ive recently changed my turbo, and put a new actuator on with an increase in boost of about 5 or 6 psi, the car runs great but my fuel consumpsion is terrible, i just started it the other day letting it tic over, then gave it a few revs and the kerb at my exhaust was covered in black soot, im gony get it set up again, but just wondering if its gony need any new parts or just tweeked a bit, any help or info apreciated

sounds like the water temp sensor is fooked.ggr has got them on sale for a tenner,

NUTTIN RILLA

No mate that was ma muckers ( rabmc ) from on here, its mercury grey with 17" rondells

NUTTIN RILLA

In what way does this affect your fuel consumption mate?

seen a saff monday night last week possibly a G plate was that it heading back form Irvine towards the costa del saltycoats, looks like it had a play with a motor from the volvo roundabout to pennyburn roundabout

NUTTIN RILLA

canny quite remember, if you see a 53 plate fiesta flash you it will be me!

NUTTIN RILLA

Sound mate, anybody else on the fuel issue?

NUTTIN RILLA

I`ve now changed my temp switch and my cars still the same, i havent drove alot of miles as i`ve been doing alot of other things to it, is there anything else off the top of anyones head that it can be


I no i need to see a tuner or rolling road but its to try and save my self from doing that till i reall need to

cheers

you changed turbo? to a bigger one???

and increased boost

after you had it setup????


if so, i'm sorry but thats asking for a DEAD engine

you u wasted your money getting setup

NUTTIN RILLA

Explain why i wasted my money getting it set up it needed it so i got it, i was then told ( by the tuner) i would benifit from a larger turbo, so i got one, my car ran fine for at least a few hundred miles then started over fueling, and also explain why thats SO bad its asking for a dead engine, i have stopped using it so its not as if it will get bore wash or that. Im just trying to find out if i can sort it my self before taking it to the tuner again instead of ( as you put it ) wasting my money

Spiky

are you sure it wont cause bore wash????

and yes having a car setup for a certain turbo then changing it, WILL cause the car to run LEAN (dead engine) so yes it would have been better to get it setup with new turbo

or, done as you did and get it setup, then fit new turbo, then get the correct chip for the new setup and get it setup again.


any how why do i care, it's n iot my engine your gonna be damaging everytime the engine runs, and ask any GOOD tuner, if running a engine with the wrong chip will cause any perminant damage


happy motoring

My car isnt running lean mate, its running rich but reading between your line`s im taking it you think i should need a new chip and a set up?

KSA-Cossie

You'll need another chip or a remap jonny.

NUTTIN RILLA

Cheers kev, i had that thought mate but im just looking for opinions just incase there was a more obvious thing


how`s your car anyway?

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

lean or rich mate, you need a remap or something as a the chip is for a different turbo on your car and thats asking for trouble

NUTTIN RILLA

NUTTIN RILLA

map sensor or fuel presure to high or blocked fuel return

Ian M

air charge sensor could have gone open circuit that would make it fuel max all the time.

NUTTIN RILLA

Where abouts is that mate, how can i tell?


cheers

Ian M

its the brown sensor on the side of the plenum you can check it with a multimeter.

NUTTIN RILLA

Thanks ian i shall check that tommorow mate
