The fuel consumption debate

[infernaL]

We are lucky. Ppl in the UK paying 94pence(RM6.50) per litre for RON95, £1.09 (RM7.50) per litre for RON 98.:mouth_closed:

dollar to dollar comparison , theirs is cheaper . but ive read they have taxes for everything else excluding VAT . so yeah it evens out .

just one question...

ever a rx-7..goes up to at least 350km /full tank for 70 litres(rm130 of fuel) ?

just to make long story shorts

 

[bushidofang]

bambino: no prob dude.. haha..

alantan: you mean can the tank hold up 350liters or can go 350km per tank?

 

[- D i a b l o -]

alan,no problem man

on the most conservative of drives.I think that having 70 litres will do more then 500km or more

RX8 can..... :)

RX7 FD stock twin turbos.... slightly over 300 is the best ....if full tank whack on track... less than 200 KM...
RX7 FD single turbos..... 450 also can....depending how lean u run on cruise.

 

[bushidofang]

alchemis.. means twin turbos from KL to JB still neeed to refuel eventhough you're driving at.. say about 80km/h? that means single turbo better rite?? how much to convert to single ar??

 

[Alchemis]

from my investigation and experience, the car runs the most efficient at around 3000 to 3500 RPM.

5th gear of 3500 RPM is around 130 km/h

from KL to Penang... estimate... one full tank of petrol. that's on a stock ECU... all these settings can be fine tuned with a power FC that you can tune it to be more lean on cruise. then the story will change....

for a single turbo.... dev says KL to Penang with slightly more than half a tank.

cost of turning single....
considering all new parts and estimated only dun quote me and dun ask me where i get it.

1) turbo ~ 4000
2) wastegate ~2000
3) pipings ~ 1000
4) intercooler ~ 3000
5) radiator ~ 1000

I must say this...... Renesis can get you 400km above with long cruising....... Some 500km....

alchemis: thanks.. dn wrry.. wont ask you or quote you.. im more into finding the parts myself.. more fun :_: just need to know the requirements... is there any side effects in turning twin into single?
