Gabriel's EG SI B18c2

**GEG** · 05-05-2009 01:30 PM

so in a discussion with one of the members here, i asked how his fuel economy goes.. he said 500-700 on a b16

bear in mind i have a b18c2, with the listed mods, but im getting around 350-400 TOPS per 40L tank..

what is going on? the car is tuned for performance, and granted i drive it hard because i love it, but is this figure correct??

although in saying that, on my euro which was 65L of premium fuel, i was just under 500kms a tank.

perhaps its me.

PERHAPS.

I get around 500-550 with my D15.
Went down after I put new tyres on.
Do you know exactly what has been tuned for performance?

It comes down to how heavy your right foot is mate. You need to monitor it base on constant hard driving and easy driving. Try a tank of easy driving first.

well im running bridgestone adrenalin re001's

well i have an itr ecu, a b18c2, and an apexi neo controlling the vtec point and air mix ratio..

i have tried a week of easy driving, but i cant do it, its just so hard when i need to over take someone etc..

so zooming around the east, i noticed that my left indicator light on the dash was ticking a little fast. no biggie, check it when i get home.

turns out the whole unit had gone kapish, most likely into someones parked car, or a pedestrian. i can only imagine.

so i got the ambers i had been pondering previously, no way could a DIY set look this good!

**Red_EG4** · 05-05-2009 10:11 PM

Are they from the US?
They look good. No trouble with the globe fixture fitting in?

**GEG** · 05-05-2009 11:02 PM

yep ordered them from the US

the fitting for the globe is unfortunately only a millimetre or so smaller than it needs to be, so i shoved it in, and prayed it wont pop out. any issues and i'll either tape it in, or get ye olde bluetack on the case

i think they look pretty swish though!
