what sort of cost is involved and can/is it diy fit also what sort of mpg does it give(is it worth the outlay)
i put in £35 and got 150 miles with a bit of motorway(not booting it much ) to/from work and the light was back on

or would i be better off getting a diesel runabout

 

all you need to have is a L8 ecu from a 4x4 saff, make sure it has the relevant tps sensor, and a chip to run your spec.

the lambda wires to pin 2 of the ecu, feed the sensor with a live and earth from the wiper motor job done.

all in it is fantastic, engines will last longer, oil stays clean for longer no borewash etc... on a run i have seen 38mpg....but i was driving very very carefully, mixed driving i average at about 28-30mpg.

 

Do you only get good MPG when it rains then??? LOL!!!

 

how much does it cost then?

 

coont

 

well depending on engine spec chips are around £250, do you have an L8 ecu? if not they are £150 ish if you cvan get hold of one, the sensor is £75 ish

 

Cheers

I have an L8 with Pectel management.

Im not sure what you mean about the sensor?

 

the lambda sensor that needs a boss welding into the front pipe ,unless your car is a 92> model then you will already have one

and stu can do closed loop chips for pectel boards now i thonk ,where as before you would have had to find a standard board

 

lambda sensor it sits in the exhaust


edit i am so slow to reply

 

That clears that up then!!

cant afford to have it done at the moment but i might consider it in the future!!

that or LPG!! lol

 

i pulled 38-40 to the gallon up to ford fair, on the way back with an 140mph fly past still managed about 35 .

There and back, less than a tank of fuel and over 300 miles

 

I get 26 average, 34(50ish) is best on a run, WITHOUT CLOSED LOOP.
CL much better though, just need to get hold of L8ECU man on here but have not seen him posting for a while.
