FAO Stu MSD.. RE Closed Loop fuelling
 
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 :clap:

Sonic,

Quality quote :cry: :cry: :cry:

So 64miles on £10 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 :cry: :cry: :cry:

Stu @ M Developments 11-01-2005 06:33 PM

Stu @ M Developments 11-01-2005 08:23 PM

Gus..
Nick reckons hes going to break 100miles on £10 of Optimax on the new closed loop system and hes that certain he can do it hes going to try tonight :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Not info i can see you ever utilising :007:

Eagle 11-01-2005 08:25 PM

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 :DD: :DD:

Eagle 11-01-2005 08:30 PM

just looked 272 miles ish ... :cry: :cry:

Stu @ M Developments 11-01-2005 08:35 PM

Thats fooking terrible Pete :wall: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Eagle 11-01-2005 08:40 PM

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

Neil S 11-01-2005 08:40 PM

Thats about what I get on Stage 1 Stu :?

Looking forward to comparison with greens and closed loop! :top:

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

Neil.

Eagle 11-01-2005 08:46 PM

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

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" :cry: :cry:

PhilM 11-01-2005 08:50 PM

Top work Stu :top:

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 ;)

Eagle 11-01-2005 08:53 PM

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... :cry: :cry: things fail that never do on other peoples cars :cry: :cry: and this closed loop thing sounds good.. :DD:

Stu @ M Developments 11-01-2005 08:53 PM

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

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.

Andreas 11-01-2005 08:57 PM

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

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

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 :DD:

Neil S 11-01-2005 09:04 PM

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

Never managed a whole tank without beasting it one!

Neil.

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

Ginge ! 11-01-2005 09:25 PM

Jamz 11-01-2005 09:39 PM

mine pisses optimax out the exhaust :cry: :cry:

I really need to get that seen to :(

Dave E 11-01-2005 09:45 PM

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

D :cool:

Nick @ M Developments 11-01-2005 09:53 PM

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 :oops: , 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, :content: .

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

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

Rs Gus 11-01-2005 09:57 PM
