WTF FUEL ECONOMY :-\

[darkeh]

ok hey guys :(

i installed simota CAI on friday night.

so today i look at my fuel guage and i have 1/2 a tank after doing 100km

so to make sure i go refill the tank and filled up 22l

so it was definate 22l/100km :o

has anybody experienced totally screwed fuel economy after installing a CAI ?

could it just be because disconnected the battery which has reset the ecu and its learning at the moment ?

i havent had any issues with fuel economy since putting the CAI on .... maybe a buggy fuel needle.... watch it this time around n c how u go

The computer might be tricked and is running rich on fuel, how does the car drive??? give it time and see what happens then. Keep up posted.

or maybe u been pushing the car hard ever since the u have the intake

[darkeh]

still no matter how hard 22l/100km ?

couldn't u hammer a V8 and get better economy than that ?

reset your ecu, it'll fix your problems...

cheers

that's wat i got after i installed my new "muffler", but everything settled down after.

damn!

the worst i've had was about 280 when the fuel light came on... :D

my worst was about the same as Pippy when the light came on after a track day

Can mufflers actually increase the usages of fuel?? how can a muffler install increase the vehicle's fuel consuption how does it relate? coz im planning to get a tiwn inlet muffler???

Oh by the way does anyone know where i can pick up a sport muffler from sydney at a good price??? And i was wondering how much it cost to weld the muffler on to the hatch so i can bolt it on instead on welding it straight on?

If anyone knows anything holla me please
