i get 420Km with 6l left in the tank (full fill at 39l)

and i have cams and higher comp + other stuff


questions not really relevant dude as every engine is of a different condition.... fuel consumption should THEORETICALLY be better with air and exhaust mods

i get about 450 ish and i've got B16 + B18C Intake setup + headers + highflow cat + catback.

It depends how you drive though. If i drive to redline alot it'll be about 400 ish i think.

You shouldn't need to worry about fuel consumption for minor mods like these. If you add a turbo then you should be concerned. Even then, it still comes down to how you drive.

i get 400km on boost LOL, but even when i was N/A only got about 420-450km per tank in my ek4.

The b16s have small tanks. Your better off working out how much ltrs per 100km and that would be a better indicator of fuel economy.

I get about 8-8.5 ltrs/100km. Freeway driving i get like 7-7.5ltrs/100km. these are considered very good economy already.

b16s also have a short gear ratio being a sportier version, it not like a D series which does like 7ltr/100km all day everyday.

yeah i was just wondering if i would lose alot of economy if i put these mods on
also thinking of upgrading intake manifold and throttle body

Jason do you have a dyno sheet with your IM... mine AEB gets more midrange but it goes flat at the top?? it doesn't really lose power it's just not curved... it looks flat and feels flat lol

[JasonGilholme]

I should clarrify. Intake Setup = Intake Arm, Box + Filter. IM is standard b16 OBD2 Type.

when i did bolt-on mods, fuel consumption was still pretty much the same. I think it used abit more but that was cos i was redlining it all the time
