Turbo II....

sadgoth · April 22, 2005, 01:02:17 PM

As I\'m sure I mentioned to you on Tues Will, the absolute best I\'ve ever managed is 280 on a tank that was a motorway and A road run with cruise set at a little above the speed limit

for the whole run!

combined town and country I get about 180 to a tank and in town alone about 140 to a tank!

I put Â£20 in on Monday - from empty and I have driven 39 miles I down to less than 1/8 of a tank again!

that is about 8mpg!!!!!! (must use the cavalier more for daily driving!)

I get around 140-180 out of the EGi, so its not going to be much different then. Insurance is only going ot cost me another Â£90 on top so thats not too bad either

you will be suprised how much better your fuel economy will be with some mods and a good rebuild. I got the same fuel economy with my standard 250bhp FD as i did when i rebuilt it, ported it, went single with huge injectors, Power FC and 440flwhp.

The stock set up, especially a TII runs very rich. If you have a good rebuild and after market computer you will get better mpg\'s.

when i first bough the car it was doing about 200 miles but i found that unexeptable. i have run a few bottles of injector cleaner though it and cleaned out anything on the inlet i could get at. the timing is right and it has always got good plugs and air filter, they need changing now as it happens. i cant remember my best but it was in the 300 miles territory. it always does 250 with a bit of a mix of driving.

the other car is a bit different. it just gets over 200 with constant 70/75 mph.

SO, what ECU\'s are available for the TII then?

I\'ve seen several Knight sports and RE:A Chipped ECU\'s for sale on US ebay, but I suspect they are all mapped for S4 Turbos.

SO, whos got what and what has it cost you?

christ mate, that was a quick reply!

FD3SNuttah · June 22, 2005, 04:54:57 PM

so how much did it set you back then brett? I had someone come out to mine and they said that it going to cost me 200 pound + cost of two new sills so about 350 for the labour and parts, think he knows what he is on about he has a spot welder ....

would be good if you post some before and then after pics, anyway glad you got your car back mate, i just wish i could get mine back on the road for JAE but there is no chance of that happening.
