djhasin Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Not too sure if i should be concerned here but my car is wierdly increasing fuel economy.. when i first bought the car it had a crackd head.. crackd mani and mani gasket was leaking.. changed everything and went td04 from a ct9.. when the car was ready the car was giving me 35miles om a tenner.. its not got a lambda sensor by the way.. and past 2 weeks its the fuel economy is increasing even tho ive been driving the same.. so far ive got 65 of a tenner.. stil got some left lol Quote
TurboTobz Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Td04 wont be boosting up as much so it will be using less fuel and the other bits would have been fucking the healthy fuelling of the car so no need to be worried these cars are very good on fuel if your not a class a peenarse Quote
djhasin Posted December 27, 2013 Author Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) Yh been boostin but not hard.. yh but its strange because i do deliveries in my car and beforr was givin me shit mileage.. maybe the ecu has adjusted it self? Edited December 27, 2013 by djhasin Quote
TurboTobz Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 No the td04 will not be boosting up as much as the ct9 is so small people often get better fuel consumption after swqpping for a larger unit and sorting the blows out will certainly help efficiency Quote
djhasin Posted December 27, 2013 Author Posted December 27, 2013 I dont think you understand what im saying.. when i first changed the turbo to a td04.. i was getting bad fuel economy for a good few months.. ive been td04 for over 3 months and the fuel consumption is alot better since the past 2 weeks.. each time i fuel up its better consumption.. the other day i fueld up and got 50.. and then 60 n now 70 Quote
TurboTobz Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Merry fucking christmas with love santa.Maybe? Lol Quote
djhasin Posted December 28, 2013 Author Posted December 28, 2013 Haha i wish.. i just hope it stays like this lmao Quote
Amjad Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 Sounds like it's adjusting perhaps if nothing else has changed? Get the lambda sorted, mine was plugged for a fortnight and I was wondering why it was drinking Quote
djhasin Posted December 28, 2013 Author Posted December 28, 2013 so do you reckon i would get more then 70miles to a tenner? thats the highest ive achieved so far and thats driving local Quote
Amjad Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 That's decent I'd say, I've clocked a little over 300 miles to a tank in my GT (which has a smaller tank I believe). That's mostly motorway with some boosting and town driving. Quote

mech5107 Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 I usually get 420km with a tank driving half in highway and the rest in the city...my tank is 35 litre. That's 8.3l/100klm, which is 29mpg.How the hell can you get 50+mpg? Are you running too lean? Quote
Ollieh17 Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 You wouldn't even get 50mpg out of a modern equivelent let alone a 17year old turbo car! Quote
TurboTobz Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) 70mpg? fuck I want your car lol, the clio dci will be booted out oh noo had any problems with yours I got a k9k equipped megane in need of my love and attention swear it costs me about the same maybe a fiver more to do about 150mile trip in the glanza than the dci 80 Edited December 28, 2013 by TurboTobz Quote
morgey Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 At no point has he said he gets 70mpg he said he gets it to a 10er. Which isn't accurate in the slightlest, fill your car up reset the mileage. Run it down and refill it. Then work out how much fuel you've used to cover the mileage you've done. That is the only accurate way you can work out your mpg. When you put a tenner in here and there, there is no way of telling how much fuel was in there before as the gauge just isn't that accurate Quote
H_D Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) i would get the injectors inspected and also change the fuel filter.Sounds like your running lean and it wont run for much longer if its leaning out.also check your fuel pump. Edited December 28, 2013 by H_D Quote

Foggy Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 I usually get 420km with a tank driving half in highway and the rest in the city...my tank is 35 litre.That's 8.3l/100klm, which is 29mpg.How the hell can you get 50+mpg? Are you running too lean? 29mpg is poor my glanza does more than that and its over 300bhp.My gt done 43mpg and that includes a days drag racing.It was running on a blitz ecu on a ct9 at .9bar Quote
mech5107 Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 How it's possible for an old turbo car to do under 6l/100klm? There's no way I can do this and I'm not boosting and always cruising at lamda of 1. Best I've done is 7.8l/100klm. Quote
Jamie5414 Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 oh noo had any problems with yours I got a k9k equipped megane in need of my love and attention swear it costs me about the same maybe a fiver more to do about 150mile trip in the glanza than the dci 80 was only playing with him, wouldnt get rid of the dci it's amazing on fuel, best car for a daily I get 78 ish mpg in the dci from a full tank, that is mostly A roads 90 miles per day round trip to work, I want to get a dci 80 though as i've heard they are better?? what mpg do you get in the 80? Quote
Jamie5414 Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 29mpg is poor my glanza does more than that and its over 300bhp. 29mpg on 300bhp? what sort of magic beans do you put in with your fuel? Quote
Rosso321 Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 29mpg is poor my glanza does more than that and its over 300bhp.My gt done 43mpg and that includes a days drag racing.It was running on a blitz ecu on a ct9 at .9barMay get a blitz ecu then if doing that. Quote
Amjad Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 I'm running a Mine's, they are all generally rich Quote
H_D Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 I'm running a Mine's, they are all generally rich x2 my old zep ecu was pretty rich on boost but spot on when on idle Quote
