1UZ-FE VVTi into IS200

[The Last Streetfighter]

Sorry to be boring, but there was a lot of preamble (Mos and Dimitri, in another thread) about the fuel economy of this engine in this chassis. Have you driven it enough on the street to be able to give some numbers with confidence?

[The Real Roadrunner]

i dont think his fuel guage works properly yet? so numbers would only be a guesstimate.

cheers

Doesn't need a working fuel gauge, just need him to compare km's when he fills up.

[MR 1JZ]

well how does he know how much fuel he has left....

i wouldnt be cutting it fine with no working fuel guage...I didnt when the one in the old soarer didnt work...

[JustCallMeOrlando]

What has running it dry have to do with it? Fill tank, reset trip meter. Drive Xkm's. Fill up, divide fuel used / km / 100. Bam, l/100km.

I keep an eye on fuel economy in exactly this way with every car I drive.
Honestly I'd rather not divulge the current fuel usage because I believe it's not representative of the package - so no, I can't give you anything with confidence - the current tune is still the original tune for power for the dyno day and is very rich across the board - so there really isn't anything to write home about but it's still better than a 7M-GE cressida.

Once you have an estimate for the fuel usage (by filling up earlier than at empty tank) you can estimate range so you can still cut it pretty fine without running out of fuel while not being able to rely on the fuel gauge that jumps in quarters.

Mos.

[whatthe?]

If you ever sort out a fix for the fuel gauge that jumps in quarters I'll be first in line to pay for it

Ive run out of fuel twice now

[IS200-V8]

Very nice Mos, take my hat of to you mate.... my one is on hold right now! untill i get some more cash put/by for it, but im hopeing for feb/march next year it should be up and running....But like i said mate well done, do you have any vids of it ?

[The Real Roadrunner]

how did you go with eds gbox at wakefield.

[clubagreenie]

Wakefield? WTF That dogbox is looking better and better all the time

[Mos]

I'm assuming that just an unsubtle hint to pick up Ed's box from Linden's workshop...
Mos.

[clubagreenie]

So it's been rebuilt already then?

[YelloRolla]

So it's been rebuilt already then?

Maybe ed's box was somewhere other than wakefield? But then again, mebbe not.

I went for a couple of rides with mos and would like to state for the record that there was more than one occasion of wheelspin and/or oversteer, and a few other, well, lets call them 'unsoft' driving moments...

[MR22ZZ]

seconded... I'll also point out that even 'cruising' around the track in 4th the car was still quicker than I could go in the AW11.
