How thirsty in L/100KM?

Freeway @120 I saw 9.7l/100km. Accelerating with traffic in city nets you around the 12-13l/100km mark. Spirited driving and flat footing results in anything between 15 and 20l/100km.

 

[Cyst]

Cries harder in 4.5 Cruiser

For interest sake, how thirsty is your Cruiser compared to what @Confucius said above about the Audi?
On the Patrol I get 500 -600 depending on the amount of freeway driving with a 120l tank.
450 if I don't watch my foot.

We are not to far off, its all in the name i get around 4.5 - 5.5 km/l with normal town /highway driving. Offroading it halves to 2.5 - 3.5 km/l

This is why I'm glad I have a tiny engine in a light-ish car, still average around 8.5-9l/100km though but that's mainly because of the crappy road design and almost zero highway driving I do. Having to get 91aki / 97-98RON petrol isn't cheap either.

edit - when I mean almost zero, I mean it. I've been on the highway (excluding road trips) only twice in this car in nearly a year. We have really crap road design here.

Finally got a chance to take my car out from hibernation, really glad I'm changing the clutch entirely because the fluid is looking nasty.

There's still tons I need to do to it. I have a Recaro PP, PCI rails, Titan7 TR-10s, AD08Rs, new clutch with 8lb flywheel, ACT PP waiting to go in. Along with around $500 in tiny bits (bolts, nuts, rubber grommets, etc) and hopefully a BBK is in the future. Also put on a new AEM filter (dry flow) vs the KN one (oiled). Apart from the red matching the valve cover better (which I still need to refinish) it's nice to not have oil slowly coating the inside of my intake.

Spoiler: clutch fluid

Stunning! As more time goes by, I realise that I would probably never own one of these.

The market in SA kinda sucks, the best market for them outside of Japan is honestly North America. It got the best combinations of things, many more specialty shops as well as the most amount of S2000s. So not only is there a lot more to choose from, they're usually also in better condition, better maintained, and if modified more likely to be done well.

You're kinda cute, just saying

 

[EELeat]

That's the one.
Been fixing it left right and center.

So who knows about modifying turbo cars?

I've removed my exhaust manifold, it needs a wrap.
What I've got to do the job is:
1. Rust-oleum high heat enamel spray paint
2. Titanium exhaust heat wrap

My idea was: sand down manifold - spray - wrap - install.

The Rust-oleum's instructions are:
1 .Spray a few coats, done.
2. Idle vehicle 10 minutes, cool 20
3. Idle vehicle 20 minutes, cool 20
4. Operate vehicle under normal conditions 30 minutes, cool vehicle.

Now with the wrap, the point is to keep heat in.
Can I do the wrap at the same time and cut operating temps in half?

Why spray it if you are going to wrap it?

Also what are you trying to solve? intake temps, oil temps, water temp? engine bay temps?

Heat wrap will make no real difference for 99% of setups out there, all that contained heat needs to go somewhere and you are going to push it through the turbo

So, the spray is to keep rust at bay. The manifold has little bits of rust, and had a tad bit more under the small piece of wrap the previous owner did.

Wrapping afterwards would be to reduce the bay temps.
Sure the heat's going through the turbo, but after that it'll be exhausted.

The manifold is quite close to the bonnet and actually burned through the bonnet heat cover past weekend.

Sold my Focus ST recently and I'm missing it already! Was such a great car but daily driving it with the fuel consumption it had was just not ideal anymore....

I just sent my car in for downpipe, full turbo back exhaust and stage 2 tuning, I only stay 1.5km from work so fuel doesn't hurt as much.

Lovely condition your car is in though.

What car, who is doing your exhaust?

 

[Pynoxim]

I recently put my K20 Jazz on the dyno. It made 146kw/219nm. Still a turd but a lovely turd it is.

 

[dash09]

It made 146kw

Wait what?

 

[Pynoxim]

Wait what?

Jazz's be wild out here these days haha

What in the actual fuck did you do to your car sir?

 

[Shadow]

What car, who is doing your exhaust?

It is a 2016 Peugeot 208 1.6 GTI 3DR.

People doing my exhaust are Wulfchiptegnik. Not sure how many people know them.

Haven't heard of them either, done downpipe, valvetronic exhaust and intake on my Golf 7 GTI at Rogue performance.

I need to do valvetronic on my S4... These straight pipes are rough man.

Oof yeah, straight pipes sound awesome till you have a long trip then the drone.

Rogue performance is a bit pricey paid R17,500! but the workmanship is just out of this world!
