33.7L/100Kms? Everyday Driving

[Bigg_kayz]

So I've had this second ute for a while now, got it retuned 3-4 weeks ago , only driven it 4 times since (10-15 km's each time) BY JEEBUS it GUZZLES! .... my average is reading 33.7l/100km, but that's not what I'm judging by, I'm judging by the fact that I drive to a mates house and its like I've driven Bathurst lol. I haven't been stabbing it , I have been seeing what the best "economy" I can get out of it. Obviously I know a tuned 6 isnt about less consumption, but when its sucking worse than a MAF tuned V8 when I'm being a nanna I had to ask the question.......Is it normal? It's tuned by a reputable Perth ford tuner using X4 flasher, just had 1000Id 80lb injectors put in , had the seimens 80lb deka taken out (which were 1000kms old) was told that they're no good to tune for nice idle, the car was also having stalling issues ...

In the end they still had problems on the dyno , in the end they had to clean the fuel system out because possibly octane booster had be put through the fuel system and disintegrated a performance fuel filter. The lines had to be all cleaned etc and then they got it sorted , also a fuel opening in a steel pipe fitting had been crushed ever so slightly but was replaced. (had two stalls since- hoping its clearing its throat :s)

mods are:
-atomic hd valve springs.
-process west stage 3 cooler
-Turbo smart race port bov
-Brand new genuine ford lifters
-Brand new Bosch 044 fuel pump and 4l surge tank
-Brand new id1000 injectors.
-Brand new genuine coil packs

-New fuel filter and all system cleaned
-Nizpro forward facing plenum
-Gt35/40 turbocharger ported and bigger wastegate

-11.8 actuator
-Battery relocation
- 4’’ dephillipo dump, twin 3" exhaust

-K&n intake pod to turbo

running 368rwkw /493.5hp @15.5psi

I had my old utes same make and model as this one now (BA mkii 2005 6 speed xr6t) and it was tuned to 285rwkw @12psi and really it didnt seem to drink anymore than the factory tune

Nope, that ain't right. Take it back.

[Bigg_kayz]

why would it be tuned that badly?

I had it idling whilst I tuned the stereo I fitted the other day and 15-20 minutes just idling it took 8km range from the trip range

hahahah.....damn.

Does the company name begin with an X ? lol

33L sounds RIDICULOUS......even big E85 tunes don't use that much? Especially if you're "being a nana"

[Bigg_kayz]

im not ginna name names , maybe im just jumping the gun as I say ive only done about 100kms or less , maybe the computer hasnt sorted it out from the last tune it had, was just absolute shiyte? this has all been city driving.

what would people generally get if they flogged it with a 500hp tune? just curious

[PTR_NITRO_FG]

On E85 this dude with 503rwkw was getting 200-250kms a tank....that's flat out 24/7....

So 55L tank would be between 22L-27.5L/100kms?

I would GUESS 15-20L/100kms would be the norm for 500hp.....(someone will pipe up soon enough).

You might have a point about the computer adjusting though.....maybe

Interesting

[Ralph Wiggum]

I get around 16/100 on E85.

[Tocchi]

I was getting around 945L/100km in the Capri

[BenDoCo]

12.8 - average - on 98 with 400kw (537hp) but I am a grandpa 'most' of the time

[Bigg_kayz]

Maybe I should just pull the battery off for 30mins , let it reset ... fill it to full with 98 and see how I go with a full tank ? should sort out any callibration issues? my average speed is only 12kms :s
