I do city driving everyday and I am fairly heavy on the pedal and I average 9.6L/100km according to the on board computer... I don't wait till the tank is empty to fill up. On a full tank I usually get between 450-480 before I fill up....

i usually get the same, 420-450 a tank, usually costs me around 50-60 $$ per fill up, I usually just use E10 but i think I'll probably get some premium in there now and then, been told its a good idea to have a mix every so often. I'm not a insane driver, but i do speed and have a lead foot sometimes :P

E10 isn't bad, its not the best, but the fuel cap says "E10 suitable" so i use it. like I said, I'd probably use some good stuff now and then just to keep the engine happy.

E10 has ethanol in it wich burns quicker but cleaner... It is a higher RON rated fuel so more power and won't damage the car as temps won't get high enough... I have used E85 before and the increase in power is noticeable in the pants dyno... It did feel quicker not 100% sure if it was or not though.....

Guys

E10 is ethol alchole, which is hydroscopic, which means it will absorb moisture. here in lies the problem, when to moisture combines with the ethanol it becomes corrosive, it will eat out the fuel system, unless the tank lines and injectors are synthetic or dont contain aluminium or glavinised steal. e10 also has less energy the normal fuels, so you use a little more than normal 91ulp, but because it burns SLOWER it raises the RON of the fuel ie, 91 ulp + 10% ethanole = @ 93.5 RON and this will (if you engine is able to via ecu adaptive learning) give you more torque and therefore technicaly more performance. so if it is cheaper gives you more bang and the car is designed to use it, go ahead, BUT i will never put it in my car. as it should in effect cost 3 to 4 cents per litre less than 91ulp due to the increases fuel consumption. do some research to who makes ethanol and political donations to parties, and who is in power and the legislation of that state in regard to renewable fuels, YOU may be suprised.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
