dj_82 Member 11 Member For: 16y 2m 5d Posted 11/12/08 01:28 AM Share Posted 11/12/08 01:28 AM I was running at 14.8L on my custom (and crappy) 12psi custom tune...I thought that was terrible so I flashed it back to stock, and reset the counter...Now it's as 16L!!!I only get 387 from a tank...And I drive like a geriatric...With the occasional boot lol.My (new) tuner said that's crap. He reckons he can get me 280rwkw with low 12's so I'm excited But right now...uuuuurgh.....A dog....I'll let you know what happens...DanIf you don't mind me asking, I noticed that you are located in Perth (like me). I was curious as to who your new tuner is?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark S Member 15 Member For: 16y 1m 2d Gender: Male Location: North Western Sydney Posted 03/01/09 12:39 AM Share Posted 03/01/09 12:39 AM We have had our car for around 2 weeks now. 05 BA T series II with 4 speed auto, 40,000 on the clock.We have been pretty sedate with it and get around 450 k's before the light pop's on and the range is under 80 k's. I go to fill it up and it take 52 litres to fill (still have 16 litres and only 80 k's on the range/dte), that's strange because my previous AU2 XR6 and AU 2 Forte the range/DTE seemed to be pretty accurate and I would be up around 530 before the light came on and the DTE was around 80 - 100.trip computer reads around 12 litres to a 100.

TurboDewd FG Falcon fan! Member 1,452 Member For: 21y 6m 16d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 03/01/09 07:42 AM Share Posted 03/01/09 07:42 AM would these improved consumption figures be due to the smaller turbo in the FG XR6T over the BA/BF? I understand the FG F6 still runs the same turbo from BA/BF era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Member 1,869 Member For: 21y 5m 17d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 06/01/09 02:34 AM Share Posted 06/01/09 02:34 AM would these improved consumption figures be due to the smaller turbo in the FG XR6T over the BA/BF? I understand the FG F6 still runs the same turbo from BA/BF era.My guess would be that the better efficiency would be more due to the better designed cylinder head and port configuration. This allows more efficient fuel/air mixture burn. Also probably more time spent to design better engine mapping.Benny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 2m 18d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 06/01/09 10:48 AM Share Posted 06/01/09 10:48 AM Oh I'm liking this. I must admit I was worried about the fuel consumption but some of you guys are getting good results and they are barely ran in.AWESOME! Bring on the morning of the 10th when I take delivery of the EGO 6 speed 'manual' XR6T!!! :w00t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder Member 9 Member For: 20y 4m 3d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 15/01/09 01:53 AM Share Posted 15/01/09 01:53 AM Only done 1800km's now but my last tank was 13.7 L/100 on Caltex 98.Probably about 70% city driving.I guess it goes without saying that it all comes down to the way you drive it. I reckon even at this early stage of the motors life I could get high 12's around town with a bit of conservative driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy_87_ Member 37 Member For: 16y 7m 28d Posted 16/01/09 06:54 AM Share Posted 16/01/09 06:54 AM (edited) It seems a tuned Xr6t will get better consumption than an Xr6 N/A. Edited 16/01/09 06:56 AM by jonesy_87_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
