I'm getting the figures off the trip computer ... but today I have noticed that the juice I'm pouring is more than I would have expected ...the computer says 11.5L/100km and yet for 62L I only get 400km I.e. 15.5L/100kmthat's about 25-30% out which relates to what your saying .... hmmmour experiences coincide the info for the computer must came from the fuel flow area ...so thinking out loud and if you reckon the injectors have a 25% overall higher flow rate then the computer would sense 25% less pressure in the delivery and hence the lower read-out .... hey ... that makes sense and I thought I was blessed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the warranty issues for things such as the transmission. Can Ford still service the car after the computer is retuned?SteveI think we all have given up on the warranty ... Ford will service the cars as the chips don't show-up in the Ford diagnostic equipmentSteve, the chip is the start of the "I can't get enough of this" power chase ...

Guest 56Mainline Guests Posted 07/12/03 08:06 AM Share Posted 07/12/03 08:06 AM The values I quoted above are from the trip computer.But I also maintain a separate spreadsheet (I'm anal retentive remember!).The spreadsheet indicates prior to chipping 11.2, now 11.0 l/100kms.So, I'm different to the experiences of both ITINT & BLKXRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geea Site protagonist Lifetime Members 4,320 Member For: 21y 9m Gender: Male Location: At the lights, waiting for you. Posted 07/12/03 08:48 AM Share Posted 07/12/03 08:48 AM I dont think I drive to hard and I get 17L/100km. I cant fathom my car getting 11-13L/100km, how do you guys do it. I'm happy if I can keep it in the 16's. This will only get worse when I get the bigger injectors too. Would it be possible to fit a bigger fuel tank to the "T" or possibly a second one? Could be a stupid question. If it was possible to do either it would be great.Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
