Fuel Consumption/ Fuel Meter rising and falling

[VIP-EK]

Hi,
I've recently acquired my self with an EK4 with the following mods:
B18c Head
B18 Throttle body
Buddy Club Spec 2 Cams
Xforce Full Exhaust
Toda Headers
Injen CAI

With the mods I calculated I'm getting approx 10.3L/100km. Just wondering how much how much a stock EK4 would be getting. And if my fuel per 100 is about right? Car is tuned to 118kw if that helps

Also, the fuel meter tends to rise and fall quite a bit and from my knowledge ek4 fuel tank is 45L and it was near empty and had to only fuel up 29L for full tank? Is that a common problem with EK4's?

Thanks in Advance!

I have an EK4 engine (B16A2) in an EG sedan. Gets around 7-9L/100km depending on the situation. Usually mid 8s. I'm not sure of the weight difference between the EG sedan and an EK hatch though.

I have an ek4 with just bolt ons and i get about 7.5l - 8l / 100kms with a bit of spirited driving throughout the tank...

I would assume it's just due to the larger cams + cam gears. Anyone know of the fuel meter continually rising and falling?

Thats common on a ek

your fuel light should come on when you have about 9L left

Its a problem with the sender.

yeah, i think with EK fuel, top half of gauge is roughly 2/3 of the tank and bottom 1/2 is 1/3 of the tank so kinda seems like it's drinking more under 1/2 way of fuel gauge

Don't know about the ek but I imagine you might have the same problem as in ed civic & crx. In both of them the fuel level sender is at the front of the tank so if you are driving on an incline your meter will start showing less fuel and if you are on a decline you will fill back up again. If you are on a flat stopped and is going up and down you've got other problems.

Yeh its a common problem dude, i reckon its best to measure the fuel tank when the engne is off and on level surface, i get approx 450-500k's a full tank, but i stopped doing that now, too risky so i fill up after 400 or something :)
