How many K's can u get on a full tank of petrol?

[Teggy-Vtir]

read the topic =)

I can only get 350 for my dc2

[Spunkymonkey]

read the topic =)

I can only get 350 for my dc2

really????

gee...you must be driving hard.

Generally I would get more with optimax because its more dense but I no longer like to run it as quality has decreased and it burns really dirty.

Used to get about 450kms with about 10 - 15 L left in tank with Optimax.

Currently use BP ultimate. Get between 400 - 450 with about 10 L left.

[Jim80y]

500-550 Kms on one tank (DC2R)

[Spunkymonkey]

It's probably best if everyone posts the petrol they are using as well.

Oh mine is a DC2 (vtir)

[wynode]

How bigs the tank?

I get around 7-8/100ks in the civic (around 450ks with 8L left in the tank). Mobile 8000

[ginganggooly]

i'm getting around 460-500 to a tank... i do a mixture of peak hour and normal driving. i was quite impressed with the economy of my car actually. especially given my lead foot.

[JayDC5R]

I can get 600 k's with about 5-7 litres left in the tank... that's motorway driving though...
But with traffic and driving the car hard, only about 450 k's...

[Ironfist]

DC2
generally @350k's i fill up which takes up about 35 litres of optimax

how big a tank does a dc2 have?

[Teggy-Vtir]

so im not the only one that gets 350 on a tank
i use optimax =)

dis is drivin normally..
thats wat i dunt get =\

[Spunkymonkey]

It's a 50 L tank, but I guess I drive on more of the open roads.

[Teggy-Vtir]

hard to believe eh?
i get 360 den d petrol light pops up

do u fink cleanin or changin the airfilter and sparkplugs wil make a diff?

[Spunkymonkey]

hard to believe eh?

how many litres do you fill up with when you hit 350??

when the petrol light pops up there is still a fair amount in the tank...varies sometimes...maybe 8 - 10 litres?
what airfilter do you have?

Do you ever use injector cleaner?

[Teggy-Vtir]

wen i filled up it clicked at 39 litres or somethin
not sure, didnt look at it properly, jus rushed off to pay it

i got d stock filter still
plannin to put the k & n pod in soon

d whole car still stock


havnt used injector cleaner b4

[Spunkymonkey]

well so you still have 10 litres left. Usually you should get more with optimax though because its a denser fuel.

try getting some injector cleaner. I sometimes use the blue bottle (chemtech) I think. Blue bottle with a picture of a truck on it. You pop a little bit in before you fill up.

Has your car been regularly serviced? ie oil change, fuel filter, oil filter, etc??

Oh, and I have a stock filter that my cousin got out of a front cut, so I doubt filter will make much difference. Is it clean?

[Teggy-Vtir]

aint u meant to only use premium for those car? thats wat it said on my petrol cap hehe
ill try the injector cleaner =)

well i jus recently bought d car from a honda dealer
apparently its been serviced etc
ive checked the airfilter, it was kinda dirty, i alreadi tried cleanin it, wasnt very sucessful. it didnt bother me much, i was plannin on changin it ne ways.

[Jnr Teggy]

about 450k's on 38l litres

I do...I use BP ultimate.

apparently doesn't mean it has :p it probably needs a service.

[Setanta]

B16A I know - but on a trip to Melbourne I get 520kms on 38 liters. That's with the SiR's gearing too.

I only run BP ultimate or Optimax in it - Optimax when I'm in Vic as Ultimate isn't the easiest to find.

[Teggy-Vtir]

ill give it a service dis weekend =) see wat diff it makes
mayb thats all it needs.

what oil do u use?
i own a civic aswell, ive always used mobile 1

I use mobil 1 5-50. I've found in the EK VTIR it tends to gulp more fuel than the teg if you rev it a bit during that driving period on that tank.

[Teggy-Vtir]

fanx for d replies =)

ill give my car a big service and see wat happens
ill get bak to u on d results

5-50 is pretty thick for street usage I would recommend 0-40 or 10-30...but for track usage the added protection of the 5-50 grade oil will be better although it does rob power just a little.

[Hadean]

I've extracted 650Kms from my DC5R in city/highway Melbourne traffic. 50L tank. (7.7L/100kms)

[wynode]

7.7L/100Ks from a DC5R? Thats damn good.

May I ask how you calculated your L/100Kms reading? (not calling you a liar :)).

[Hadean]

Fill up tank until full. Click until it almost starts to flow over.
Reset the trip meter.
drive until fuel gets rather low... (fuel light came on in my case)
GO back to same fuel bowser and fill again. Click until it almost starts to flow over.

Note the amount of fuel in litres used.
Note the amount of kilometers traveled on trip meter.

use calculator: (Litres/kilometers) x 100

THe reason why i got such good economy because my tyres were so worn and it was raining lots in Melb... drove around like a pussy and trying new shift points... (shifting to 6th gear at 60km/h)

why do you think 5 - 50 is thick?

[EG_2_TEG]

damn

i only get 9.6km/l or 10.4l/100km

i'm runnin B18B2 with hurricane air filter and 2 1/4 cat back system

is this abnormal fuel consumption?

cheers

[Setanta]

B18B?

The figures most people are quoting are freeway I think. Around town with heavy throttly usage and I drop to about 350km/tank

[Spunkymonkey]

B18B?

engine from gsi teg Pete.

I generally do half city/half open road. Just did 435km with 15 L left.

I've found still that in the civic you notice the fuel drop quite a lot with heavy throttly usage and you know the way I drive the teg, it still does pretty well even when I rev it...still usually get to 400kms before pouring and no yellow light. Only few times under that would have been after wakefield :wink:

[jenova]

I get 520-550km from 40l of optimax, that is city + highway driving and occasional vtec. :wink:

[dc2r]

I just filled up this morning and I had 517km on the clock. This was with occasional vtec and cruising. I usually fill up with 450-500kms but I thought I'd push it this time. I think the light goes on and you can still go an extra 50 to maybe 100 kms.

[Weq]

i only ever fill up $20's worth of BP Ultimate (19-22L's, calculated as an average over the last 10 weeks). i get around 310~k's before i get scared of sucking up to much crap fromt he bottom of the tank. This driving is normal mix of city/suburbs. I usually put it into 5th whenever i can, but sqirt it around for traffic lights and other random drags. Its a d16y1.

The way i calculated these is bascailly as watch for the first signs of empty tank light.. But yer, i only fill halfway due to thats all i need for a weeks driving, and i end up carrying less weight round due to less fuel. if i use optimax i will seriously drop about 40k's per tank, its a very noticeable difference.

[EG_2_TEG]

damn, i think i use a little too much throttle too often :wink:

[luzinit]

sorry to post in an old thread :( but im new here heheh


Used to get about 450kms with about 10 - 15 L left in tank with Optimax.

farkkk that is excellent Q!!! in the civic, i get about 350kms, with about 7litres left, i think the tank is about 40L's??? this is mainly driving on parra road to the city n back to my home.... never really got over 400 km's, don't even recall it ever reaching over 400..... :( howcome it takes so much petrol??? i dun even vtec that much... oh yeh forgot, my car is a civic vtir..

[poweredbyhonda]

300 Kms max! Not even tuned properly yet with stock injectors.Mind you I don't even hit 4,500 so no vtec!

[fried]

well ive been using normal unleaded in my dc2 vtir for the past two three weeks.... woooooops, no one told me!

but ive been getting over 400 before my light comes on. thats with vtec occassionally and random driving, PLUS newbie manual driver who over revs a lot of the time.

put in premium last ngiht, filled up 37l, but the car seemed sluggish or something, and it was a nice cool night. maybe my launching wasnt great and so i lsot losta power in wheels spin, and so second had nothing in it. will see tongiht i guess.

eric.
ps... who's premium is better? or doesnt it matter? BP? MOBIL synergy? SHELL optimax?

[mo]

iput anything in my car... :lol: :lol: :lol:

15 bux gets me half a tank. LOL

the civic does drink more than the teg when you rev it...you must get stuck in a bit of traffic.

[Choongas]

I get around 450+ on Optimax, occasional VTEC travelling from nth shore to syd every day.

This is a Civic VTi-R by the way.. highway driving i get bout 600 i think.

Hard driving it chews so much petrol, but its worth it :)

I had a K&N pod, but put the stock filter back on and get at least 50km more out of the tank.. but then again probably cos i like the sound of VTEC too much with the pod! :lol:

[Aussie_ITR-0239]

The best I've done was 670kms from the start of the Hume Hwy (Melbourne) to Manuka in Canberra.... which left me with ~1Lt. :wink:

This included a few high speed squirts and a race with another car around Parliment House! :P

After all my 137K worth of driving - I pretty much know that when the fuel 'warning' light starts blinking on and off, I've got between 100-150 kms left. Once the light remains on, I"ve got about 60-100 kms left.... which of course, depends on how one is driving!! :shock:

[fried]

okok.... so premium left me with under 400kms a tank before the light came on, 385 to be exact, with vtec occassinonally to frequently...
thats BP premium, 95 octane.
then with BP ultimate, i got 400kms of HARDLY RARELY vtecing, and with 2000 unleaded from MOBIL, i seem to be getting a lot more kms, plus with quite quite a lot of vtecing, ATM im on 405kms and the light hasnt hit yet.

i drove a dc2 vtir.... can anyone explain why i seem to be getting more milage from lesser octane fuel?

im confused! isnt it meant to be the other way around
i havent gotten around to buying a5 litre or so bottle to store petrol in, cos then i will drive with the light on, and see how far i can go with that light.

[Spunkymonkey]

Just depends on how the fuel is mixed. It is not suprising you get more kms out of synergy compared to Ultimate.

I still prefer the Ultimate over Synergy and Optimax as I find it burns cleaner....even if I lose some kms over it.

[wynode]

Eric, the best way to work out your fuel consumption is like this.

Fill up all the way to the top (1-2 clicks of the pump) and then zero your trip meter. Then drive around untill you get to the petrol light or towards empty.

Then fill up again and take note of how many km's you've done and also how much fuel you filled up with.

Use this to work out how many Litres you use per 100kms and post back (if you can't do the math, then post here and i'll work it out ;) )

Any other way of checking consumption (EG waiting for your light to come on) isn't accurate.

-Win

[Entity]

this is very bad...

i must have the worst fuel consumption ever..

i drive a 2.2 litre accord n/a with no mods.. and i estimate doing about 14L/100km...

because i can only get 450km out of a 65 litre tank! with about 5 litres to go...

im doing a proper test right now to see whats going on, i'll get back to u guys in about a week

but when u guys are getting 500km from 40 litres... my 450kms from 65 litres is looming as a huge problem =/

maybe my car is old? its a 92 model..

btw i have to drive really carefully to get 450km aswell, if i go lead footed i only get about 400km to the tank..

[dc2r]

more displacement equals more petrol, but 14L per 100 kms? That's a bit odd. Could also be the fact that ur car is old like u said. Components get worn and eat more petty.

[Entity]

i should be getting 11/100 or less
i'm testing it now properly

if i end up with 13+/100 again i'm gonna assume my o2 sensor is blown and i'm burning it rich...

might try BP ULTIMATE and see if it gets any better

[Rowie]

okay, tested out the efficiancy for my little beast on my trip down the coast.

Old motor - 430km

New motor - 520km

This includes mixed with hwy driving and city driving (not granny city driving).

[ChUk-Fu]

400-450 kms dc2 Gsi

[integra97]

about 350 - 400km per tank if im lucky

Damn boost

[fried]

dum di dum di dum.....

okok filled up 38.05 l........

at 408km i filled up another 39.33.......

someone help me figure out my mileage?

this was both with synergy 8000.

with HARDLY any vtec until my last 40kms where i vtecd like nutz!

thanks.

i swear it seems normal unleaded gets me further with mroe vtec! ...

[Teggy-Vtir]

for the dc2 vtir aint umeant to b usin only premuim unleaded??

[fried]

yeah, thats what the sticker says.... lol

i didnt realise before.. i thought it was only recommended....

thats why, hence, ive been filling up with premium and high octane petrol now.

[Teggy-Vtir]

hehe
yeah lucky i saw the sticker too =))


well i can only get like 400ks on a full tank
thats without highway drivin

[hondaboy]

ive got the B18A1, from a full tank i can probably get close to 500 til it cuts out.
thats with a 50L tank running and tuned to 98 octane.
at the moment i get about 10kms per ltr cos most driving these days is a straight run to uni and back.

[kiddoDC2]

currently half a tank runs about 220
so a full should get me about 400 -440 i guess
still i feel i'm using more petrol than i should , maybe its cause i havent retuned the car since i installed the cai and catback exhaust

[skeptic_]

what brand is the best fuel to use? SHELL? BP? 7/11?

[u mad?]

DC2R
I/H/E + tune

450km with lots of hooning

i reckon 550 if i drive like a grandma

[Vvvtec]

LOL 8 year bump...

DC2 with Injen cai and skunk2 manifold... 400+km's driving sensibly

[Vvvtec]

what brand is the best fuel to use? SHELL? BP? 7/11?

Both Shell and BP are excellent.

BP burns noticeably cleaner than Shell though, so I only use BP.

If you can find one, Mobil Premium is also tops.

Spot on IMO :)

[liberty68]

CL9 accord euro i get 550-600km when light comes on shell optimax 98 from work to home mainly , how many more km's can i do when light comes on ?

[lemmiwinks]

Next time you fill up, reset your Trip timer. Then when you go to fill your tank up again, fill it till it stops. Now look at the amount of litres that has been pumped in and divide the amount of KM's driven. eg. 600km / 60L's =10l/100km. If your tank has a maximum capacity of 65Litres's, you have 50km's worth of fuel left.

[dciisir]

184 km and 20.05 litres BP Ultimate so it works out to be about 10.8 l / 100km. 2nd time I calculated with more VTECing, it was 11 l / 100km. ITR B18C. I/H/E + bigger fuel pump + fuel rails. Not tuned. RPM also idles at around 1200 when warm >_>

[khanguskhan]

Sorry for reviving such an old thread.
I just got my DC2R it's pretty much bone stock except an SRI, and I'm gettin 10.95L/100KM, I pretty much shift at 3.5-5k rpm most of the time and since I just got it, there's plentyyy of spirited driving. Does that sound about normal for my fuel consumption?

[charliebrown]

Yeah thats about right for a dc2r (unless you do some hectic freeway driving, in which case it wouldn't be). SRI might be hurting it a little bit as you're sucking in hotter air leading to less efficient combustion or some shit. Most likely negligible though, but fuel economy should decrease over time as your pod gets dirty faster than one that is enclosed

[dougie_504]

Not a Teg, but just filled up my EH9 D16Y1. 441.1KMs for 39.20L. I use BP Premium 95 (since Y1 is AUDM and all...). Works out to 8.89L/100KM. That's mostly mild driving with the occasional squirt.

[Vvvtec]

Sounds about right :thumbsup:

[dougie_504]

Best I have ever got was 537km before my light came on. Half of that was highway driving and I managed to get right up behind a Ford Territory and just cruise at 115km/hour in his slipstream with SFA throttle haha.

[khanguskhan]

Well my k's have very very little highway driving, and i consider my shift points pretty damn high, but once I settle down in the car I'll check my consumption again during granny driving sessions, back when I bought my brand new impreza rs, I hit 15L/100km and thought what the heck was wrong, but once I calmed down abit it went to the 10L/100km mark.

[integragsi96]

with my auto dc4 i get:
650-750kms- highway only. (interstate traveling)
450-500kms - around town and motorways.
400-450kms intown and city driving
300-350kms mountain runs/ track.
this is all on vpower!

[Hayday91]

V-Power or BP Ultimate

Mixed cruising and hitting vtec every now and then i get about 460 with 4 L or so left!
best ive had so far is 525 with 5L left in tank!

02 DC5R

[cph3r]

DC4 on BP Ultimate

I've never seen 500km on the odometer =[
Low fuel light comes on at about 350, but I know I have plenty of fuel left.
Most I have ever put in at the pump is 42L.

I'll drive on average 35-50 KM monday to friday, so shortish trips, and varies on the weekend.

Same as me mate, BP ult, fuel light round 350. However i've never seen over 380 on my trip meter. Never filled more than 38L though. Short trips in peak hour so bad :(

[Vvvtec]

Really? I've pushed mine to 500 before on BP Ultimate, with short trips/start and stopping and everything. Only difference was I shifted at 2.5-3k rpm all day every day. No Vtec ofcourse too lol.

[cph3r]

I'm 100% I can get over 500. The damn fuel light comes on so early I get scared to push it :-p need to get a Jerry can!

[dc2r-0636]

i get 422km now, and i filled up 44 litres last tank

44 X 100 / 422 = 10.4

and before i changed o2 sensor it was

46 X 100 / 385 = 11.9L per 100

forgot to mention both the same style of driving, shifting at 3.5k and vtec here n there (not much tho)

[azzacrombe]

I get about 540L out of my DC5R on BP Ultimate.

I fill about 43L everytime.

[charliebrown]

DC4s have a 50L tank right? Or is it actually 40. I've never pushed it further than 38L cos it sits BELOW empty and fuel light on. I feel like seeing a number above 400 but don't wanna break down!

[azzacrombe]

Take it from me charlie you dont want to put yourself in that position. When i first got my EG civic 3 years ago i tried to push it too the end and almost made a meal of it. Was driving down the freeway and almost died...ON THE FREEWAY. Luckly made it to the next exit and it died right outside the fuel station. Managed to get it started again and got it in just in time.

My advise...dont take the risk. Can get you stranded in the worst of places.

It's a 50L tank charlie.
I pushed mine this week to 462KM, filled up 45L.
10.2L p/100KM!!

I think I need to take a vacation from the redline for a week :P

[charliebrown]

Hahah bro no point going redline on the B18B. When did your fuel light come on? Petrol price has dropped! Not driving for a week paid off lol i saved like $5 :D spent it on injector cleaner instead

[cph3r]

Plenty of point! The sound and it keeps me above 5k when I shift up.

My low fuel light comes on at roughly 350. But I can easily get another 100 after that, around town driving.

[charliebrown]

I covered up my pod so there isn't the induction noise anymore. Good fuel saving technique :D

I'm getting similar fuel economy to you, aren't you concerned that it is too high? Should be like 8-9l/100 at most

[jdmEG5]

How much you guys get from an EG vti manual?

I know the reason im getting much more mileage that you guys.
its gonna sound silly pointless and slightly defectable but you would get 150+ a tank.
go to an exhaust shop and tell them to make you an axelback straight through with a hotdog resinator instead of a muffler.
because the standard muffler is soo restrictive you lose power.
but doing this you will have minimal torque gain but more high end...and i give my car quite a bit everyday....4krpm here 5k there. somtimes 7.2k but im getting more than you guys when being concervative and im not trying.
when i do shift at 2-3.5k i would get around town about 550kms. highway close to 750kms....

btw sorry about spelling mistakes.

[charliebrown]

How much it cost ya for a straight through with hotdog? And is it loud?

[integragsi96]

How much it cost ya for a straight through with hotdog? And is it loud?

yehh its quite loud mate!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhnG67cmyn8
mines the maroon dc4 thats loud with kinda whistle to the exhaust note!

and i got mine mates rates for $100 but it would probs cost like $175 and its kinda hard to get someone who would actually do it

[charliebrown]

^lool watched the whole 5 minutes and saw your car about 2 times... i couldn't isolate which sound was yours but i'm guessing it was the one that sounded like a bee.

Also... how do people get good mileage on freeway? Maintaining a speed of 100 keeps the revs at 2700... it drained my fuel bad

[Timmy_B]

590kms with spirited driving/mostly freeway driving.
From full tank to fuel light

I get roughly 480-540 km's / 50L tank (usually run it down to about 7 litres), spirited driving

Most I've ever had was 623km's, some freeway, some heavy footed driving around town. hoping to crack 650 next time i try but its soooo hard

[Timmy_B]

go to an exhaust shop and tell them to make you an axelback straight through with a hotdog resinator instead of a muffler.
because the standard muffler is soo restrictive you lose power.
but doing this you will have minimal torque gain but more high end...

????Please explain this in a little more in-deatil????

[dougie_504]

Muffler...hotdog...are they so different? lol

Hotdog or 'mid-muffler' as some people call it. I thought it was the same thing almost, except that the rear muffler is supposed to be somewhat more aesthetic and made for tone/sound quality.

[u mad?]

up to 650km high driving

usually around 400-450 suburban driving with alot of hooning

pretty happy with that, pretty much the same fuel economy as the b18

[u mad?]

I know the reason im getting much more mileage that you guys.
its gonna sound silly pointless and slightly defectable but you would get 150+ a tank.
go to an exhaust shop and tell them to make you an axelback straight through with a hotdog resinator instead of a muffler.
because the standard muffler is soo restrictive you lose power.
but doing this you will have minimal torque gain but more high end...and i give my car quite a bit everyday....4krpm here 5k there. somtimes 7.2k but im getting more than you guys when being concervative and im not trying.
when i do shift at 2-3.5k i would get around town about 550kms. highway close to 750kms....

btw sorry about spelling mistakes.
lmfao lololol

[Skyline_034]

How much it cost ya for a straight through with hotdog? And is it loud?
ive got a Hotdog exhaust, its not LOUD LOUD, but it does the job with its loudness. i dont know how many DB's it would be though. still legal since never pull over i guess.

Integra GSI 97' get up to ~510km's to a full tank of fuel (50L), mainly suburban. anyone else roughly get the same?
really taking it easy, hardly any hard take offs.

fuel usually safeway (woolworths) 91 octane petrol.

only mod/s is a pod filter and a 'Hotdog' exhaust (from what i hear its called).

[TGW92]

2000 DC2R gets about 500kms per tank, depends on driving style though as well as highway/city driving etc.

Using Shell 98 petrol as well

[Glocker]

400kms mainly city driving, b18c EH sedan with skunk2 IM and SRI pod filter :(

[dougie_504]

400kms mainly city driving, b18c EH sedan with skunk2 IM and SRI pod filter :(

400km from how many L or petrol? Is this when your fuel light comes on? Sounds pretty good to me given that the fuel tank is 45L and you're driving in the city...

[K20DC5]

600-650km per tank combined DC5S....Assuming I could get another 80 or so km's as 600 roughly is when the fuel light comes on....Only ever let it get to orange light once and that was last week

[spn.fed]

350 ??? ..u serious ??? wow man my dc2 can go about 500 to almost 550km on a full tank no joke. im always filling her up with v power and using oem oil. really pays off when u think about it.

[Lukey]

i filled up today,

350kms from 34l

around town driving in the country town im from, heavy foot.

i drove to canberra on one tank of fuel and back on one tank of fuel, which is about 600kms each way, thats with me & 1 passenger, boot full of luggage, back seat with 4 spare wheels and tools and oils. that was with a reasonably heavy foot and twistys involved aswell

[anzai]

i get 422km now, and i filled up 44 litres last tank

44 X 100 / 422 = 10.4

and before i changed o2 sensor it was

46 X 100 / 385 = 11.9L per 100

forgot to mention both the same style of driving, shifting at 3.5k and vtec here n there (not much tho)

lol pretty much the same with my car, was doing about 11.5L / 100 then replaced o2 sensor and pcv valve, now doing 10.5L/100 with a heavy foot

[charliebrown]

How much it cost to replace o2 sensor and where at? I get round 11-12 per 100 granny driving... changed a lot of things but problem hasnt solved.

[charliebrown]

$310 for o2 sensor from jdmconcept... what the ****

[tripleuse]

dunno how people are getting less than 500 to a tank, my b18b used to do about 550-600 with a p plater foot, 550 without highway, with highway 600+

oem for dc2r is NTK i believe ^

yeh i think oem o2 sensor is ngk, just saying that like honda uses denso for radiators on some cars

ive read mixed review about bosch o2 sensors on hondas, thats why i didnt end up getting one

[charliebrown]

if o2 sensor is gone shouldnt a dash light come up anyway?

[dc2r-0636]

My o2 sensor peaced out and i got no engine light, just shit fuel econmy

[anzai]

My o2 sensor peaced out and i got no engine light, just shit fuel econmy

same lol, i think our cars have the same problems daniel... let me know if anything else comes up ahaha

but i think the dash light would come on if the o2 sensor stopped giving out readings, but in our case it was just giving shit readings

[dc2r-0636]

lol true haha

i guess if it died all together, the engine light will stay on, but our o2 sensor mustve been like real slow to respond to how much fuel it should be mixing with ect lol

next time ill go for a wideband o2sensor

[charliebrown]

Should i fork out and just change it? Fuel light comes on like 330km on granny driving and <300 going a bit harder. Definetely some shit wrong ye? Thermo is changed, spark plugs, serviced etc

Changing the sensor an easy DIY job? I've just got a standard toolset and jack/stands

[dc2r-0636]

^
easy to do, unhook the negative battery terminal, jack your car up at the front and you will see it on your headers, bout 20cm away from where the CAT is. then just get a spanner (prbz 24mm one. just a guess)
unhook the old one, you will see its clipped on. then clip the new one and ur laughing.

reconnect your negative terminal and let the car idle so the ecu adjusts. then your set

[charliebrown]

Ahh not bad i'll just do it then.

This is the cheapest well branded one i can find. Pretty sure it fits but can someone confirm for me? USA dont use the same frickin engine numbers as us and call honda ACURA!

[dc2r-0636]

i just checked my old one for you, its exactly the same plug and everythinh

i'm looking through the "Automotive Fitting" list for part# "234-4011" and b18c2 (vti-r model) isn't on it

[charliebrown]

The americans got different labels and names and stuff to us. What you know as VTi-R is called GSR and the B18C2 is called B18C1. Same as the integra GSi is called LS and B18B2 is B18B1

My o2 sensor arrived and i attempted to change it today... fuarkk what size spanner is it? my toolset only went up to 19mm and tried vice grips but no luck. had to re-clip it and leave it. forgot to disconnect battery before as well. it's on pretty tight, any suggestions? can i spray wd40 on that area?

Get a shifter, 18inch 20inch are big enough. Shifter needs to be on tight and just needs a bang and it'll come off.

Yea you can spray wd40 there. Just dont slip and strip the bolt lol

and remember turn anti-clockwise.

good luck :thumbsup:

Jack the car up all the way, and get comphy. Then give it one good hit lol, thats all it needs.

It's just stuck with the Rain, exhaust heat, dirt, rain and so on.

[itsdenny]

Noob Question, back o2 sensor and front are the same right?

[1900-hustler]

i havnt put in a full tank of fuel in more than 3 years LOL..

but when it was a daily i would get 450 - 550 easily depending on my driving & conditions.

I'll try to find that spreadsheet i used to keep before

[mocchi]

dc2-pwr, using adj. spanner is bad advice.
they often will round your nuts.

yeah, use wd40. that shit is godsend.

[tiksie]

There are slotted sockets you can buy. Theres a line on the side of it which enables you to run the wires through it so you can get the socket head onto the sensor. They're about <$10~

[*vtec-screamer]

please get back on topic guys..how much k's can you get on a full tank?

[dc2r-0636]

my last tank i got 9.4 Litres per 100. thats the best i have eva got and i raped the car this tank

[charliebrown]

When do youse fuel light come on? Mines comes on usually when the tank has about 12L left. Around 300 on a heavy foot or 360 granny

[dc2r-0636]

Mine came on at 400 last tank. Charlie u still getting shit fuel economy after new o2 sensor ?
Unbolt ur cat and have a look, mine was blocked/melted causing shit economy

[charliebrown]

Yeah still not as good as it should be man. Did you just get another OEM cat?

[dc2r-0636]

Punched out.... lawl

[anzai]

pulled 7.3L/100km driving from honda nats at goulburn back to melbourne. constant 4k rpm. :D

thats like 130-150kmph?

[anzai]

nope, 110kmph @ 5th

[Lukey]

different FD?

lol stock audm itr FD bro

[Lukey]

do they all rev that high at 110?

[anzai]

all itr 4.7 FD's do afaik... umirin?

[Lukey]

no cos id probly get better fuel economy sitting on 3100rpm in 5th? lol

[mocchi]

i think mine is around 3600 @110kph.
4000 is like 120.
its 497kms now after a full tank refill, should last me another 50kms or so before lights go on.

[1900-hustler]

yeah man 4000rpm is exactly on 120kmph

[u mad?]

yeah man 4000rpm is exactly on 120kmph

yep, this.

[mocchi]

whats your rpm sitting on 6th jrod? 100kph

[u mad?]

To be honest i can't remember lol, haven't driven it much lately.

i do recall that it sits slightly lower than the b18 though

[Troy]

Not Integra. But 100km = 2400rpm, 110km = 2600rpm.

Food for thought. Big difference.

[Bludger]

the crx that the Mrs sold reved 4700rpm at120kp/h

tachometer might not be accurate though on old honda's

[tekung89]

510km with aircon on most of the time, vpower, and 2 highway trips. fuel light went on twice but ddnt stay on assuming 5litres left in the tank. ITR adm

[IDV8]

I'm starting to experiment as to what I can get the most out of .. so far Woolworths Caltex Unleaded E10: 410KM (Light was on for a bit, didn't want to push my luck). Next will be trying Shell V-Power to see how far I can get, everyone at work loves the stuff. (2003 DC5)

[type-Spaz]

I have a 2005 Type-S and I'm sitting at only 3000k at 130kmh :) I don't know what it is in KMH but I get around 43miles to the gallon. According to the conversion thats about 69khm per gallon?

[Setanta]

DC2R with BP Ult = approx 350km/34 litres around town (stop-start traffic). Drops to 7.6 litres/100km on a trip to Melbourne.

Sadly, the economy is eclipsed by my '85 8valve 2.7 litre straight-six E30 BMW which pulls 7.3 litres/100km. Even when I moved to a non-eco head and Fi the BMW still beats the Honda on a highway trip with only 16 bhp less.

Still, fuel economy on both cars is more than acceptable and means that I can sneer at Prius drivers :D

[IDV8]

Honda Integra 2003 DC5 with premium unleaded @ Caltex/Woolies will get me 420KM if the tank is full (same with Shell V-Power) - light comes on around 400-405 KM I think, read somewhere once the light comes on you have ~20KM to go till you run out, not sure how true that is though.

[ExpressCoffee]

I get just a bit over 350 per tank, and I have a DC2.. :/

I tried resetting my ECU as suggested somewhere and am currently using that tank but it looks like i'm heading the same way. I'm using the 95 stuff at Shell.

[dc2r-0636]

Shell petrol, that's your problem

[IDV8]

V-Power is Shell petrol .. gets me the same distance as non Shell U95

[dc2r-0636]

Vpower in my car uses 1-1.5 Litres per 100 more then BP ultimate

[ExpressCoffee]

Shell petrol, that's your problem


I thought Shell was good? What should I use then, BP?

[dc2r-0636]

In my experience it wasn't, giv bp ultimate a go

Full 2.5inch exhaust, high flow (100cell), intake
400-410km

38-40 tires psi

[ericl33]

yeah, that's a big factor, the tire pressures.

not many ppl realise this, if you're running 15" then keep it 32-34psi ish

but if you got 16's or above, 36 - 38 wouldn't hurt and will help fuel consumption greatly.

Everyone should get @ least above 400km's before the light comes on, even if you vtec a lot of the time.

[butterfingers]

You know petrol prices MUST be getting high when supposed car enthusiasts talk about petrol economy in their omg race cars...

[ExpressCoffee]

Well it has been a while since I checked tyre pressure.. Maybe I will try that as well as using BP for a change.

I'm running on 17" wheels so I'll make sure they're 38-40psi.

btw, I think you're driving your tank pretty low if you claim 550 easy, hwy yeah, sure, but not combined city/hwy

432 & 39 litres = 9.0*
385 & 35 litres = 10.0
400 & 38 litres = 9.5
424 & 42 litres = 9.9

The "*" is for when I did hwy and city driving

The rest is 99% city

[rhys.l]

Yep so if dc2r-0636 extrapolated those figures to kms after the full 50L which goes into a dc2r fuel tank, he would often be getting 500+km as well.

I never run my tank down very low, get a bit worried about picking up crap at the bottom of the tank. Typical scenario for me would be after 4xxkm of mixed driving, would go to the servo based on the guage (no fuel light) and 35-40L would go in. So a full (50L) tank would have got me 500+, 'easy'

Shutup and explain how a petrol light flashed 12 times will ya!
ok, for the special ppl.

the sensor isn't in a full on or full off position. it will flicker between on or off while it shuffles between the high and low level of when the light should turn on or off.

drive more and the fuel level will get lower, making the light, light up more stable.

up and down hill roads will make this very evident.

Thats stupid! Here I was thinking that some Honda have special fuel lights that would blink every few mins depending on how long your been low on fuel, well obviously the amount of times a petrol light comes on and off is no indication of milage because using the below technique I can make the petrol light come on and off as many times as I want!

Here I was thinking that some Honda have special fuel lights that would blink every few mins depending on how long your been low on fuel, well obviously the amount of times a petrol light comes on and off is no indication of milage because using the below technique I can make the petrol light come on and off as many times as I want!
mate, you're throwing pebbles @ my tank.

Nah I'm fine with the explanation by Eric, I'm just pissed about something else this dude posted and only realized today it relates to his above post..

[cotts13]

i get 350-400 dc2r. Need to be tuned better as runs really rich atm

[sensei_]

490km with a 10L topup.

180km was country driving, the rest was 25km (ie. smooth sailing, no traffic jams or aircon running) metro runs.

this is for a KA9 legend.

we're talking about integra's here.

your post is irrelevant.:)

[sensei_]

my bad.... i thought it was about mileage in general. that'll teach me to read the thread before posting :p

[*vtec-screamer]

^ bad sensei..lol

[foujee]

i used to get an average 450-500 on my DC2R...for some odd reason its dropped to 380-400kms now ?? =/ any ideas what could have caused this ??

[butterfingers]

^vtec got the beter of you

[ExpressCoffee]

ok I actually checked my car and I squuezes 405 from it. That's a new record! I think resetting the ECU gained me about 50 extra km...

Now just filled 40L of BP Ultimate and we'll see how we go...

what moids?

[ExpressCoffee]

what moids?

I'm assuming you said 'mods', so..

I don't have much (if any at all)

- Pod Filter
- Exhaust (not sure which one)
- JDM amber dash :p

Not really into performance mods.. but am interested in headers/extractors..

the last 50kms short is driver habit

or try change fuel filter, clean injectors.

just under 500kms with full tank of bp 98 ultimate

[kraftycuts]

Get about 500km before the fuel light comes on, from Western Sydney Suburbs to the City daily. Lots of stop start driving.

Car: dc2r - I/H/E with Shell V-power 98RON

[k20Akuma]

550KMS on BP Ultimate.
DC5R with just "mostly" casual driving

[ExpressCoffee]

Around the 200km mark so far and the tank is just under half way with BP ultimate.. So far no difference than the 95 I use... but then again I may have been revving quite high every now and then.. Something about seeing a full tank makes me go wild! haha

[infurNOS]

Light comes on at 400km mark. DC2R, I/H/E. BP Ultimate. Few redline shifts. 39psi tyres, 80,000km.

Personal best was with my civic (B18c2 ,I/H/E). 480Km, not hitting VTEC once.

All city driving.

Not sure how people manage 550+km....

[*vtec-screamer]

^ Your tyre pressure is too low. look at your door placard. it'll let you know what's best. front tyres 35psi, rear tyres 34psi. see how you go.

[Bludger]

go 36 front and rear.

[infurNOS]

Too low or too high? I am running 205/16 tyres so wouldnt my door placard be irrelevant as i do not have oem wheels/tyres?

[infurNOS]

even with my tyre spec Bludger?

[Bludger]

i got - 205/45/16

36 cold

hmmm i guess what vtec-screamer meant was my pressures are too high. Still dont think it will make that much of a difference. I have never owned a car that has got me 500km+ to a tank.

28psi - 32psi makes a bigggg difference

sorry i meant too high*

[chinx_4eva]

I use to be getting 480KM a full tank with vortex 98RON

now recently, even after 160.000km service with oil filter changes and running motul fluids im getting a shy 410KM a tank when light turns on
I've tried most other fuels including VPOWER and BP Ultimate but Vortex gives me the most

Car: DC2R
Kms: 1600000km
Mods: Pretty much stock standard, JDM headers + cat, pod inake but stock airbox

driving habits the same, I rarely give it any fangs.
the only difference is that i've purchased a daily so the car isn't driven as much as it use to be, does a full tank in around 3 weeks compared to when I use to fill up every week with it

any ideas guys?
tyre pressures always right :)

[unl3a5h]

400 km ek with b18c2 i fill up around 33 - 34 liters how much is left?
