Unichip & Fuel Economy

[Power]

Spiro, if you are about ever, I'm not sure? Or anyone with Phase II MkII or other APS kit:

Do you find the fuel economy stats are still accurate?

My economy seems slightly better. I know the APS website says this is the case.....but....I am a sceptic by nature.

Is it true?

Comments?

I use a very advanced method to gauge any difference..

When the fuel warning light comes on at 100km to go and beeps at 80km to go...I notice the fuel needle is nearly on empty..

This is the same as what happened stock.

So, I assume the computer is still accurate.

I dont think your trip comp is accurtate after you change your injectors to a larger size. I believe the edit can fix this issue. The best way to messure is to ignore your trip computer and just watch the gauge and note how many km you are getting from a tank.

Hope this helps.

With Phase II the figures are out by a factor of 32% I recall from earlier calcs, and that is a constant as it is a ratio Thus when the trip computer shows you are doing 10l/100km then in reality it is 10 plus an additional 32% ie 13.2l/100km - distance to empty is unaffected. You can of course confirm this by recording actual fuel used versus distance travleed which will show the relationship to be robust.

Hmmmm. Looks like it's time to start counting 'k's and adding up the litres in petrol receipts to check it out.

depends on which injectors they actual put in if you have the ones that they use in the stage111 its 43% and I have also ran out of fuel with 29 kms still showing on the km to empty
