944 Turbo Tank range

been there Simon, if you have a spare AFM and you adjust the contact you can lean the car back to more sensible AFR, or just put an Augment Automotive ECU on and it will bring you up to 380 - honestly

Thanks George. I bought a refurbed AFM from Paul Smith and it has hardly got any better... :sadface:
 
I'm lucky to get 300 miles on a full tank....thats the price you pay for high performance and a 2.8 motor!!

Try 80 get better mpg.

Simon when your off boost try and make sure the boost needle is near 0.4/6 rather then 0.8/1bar need to get mine adjusted but my afr change to 12.5 in 5th hard to mantane speed without sitting higher on the needle feel like there's more steady restance on the pedal here
 
Did 390 motorway miles yesterday on less than a full tank in my standard 220. Reckon the full range would be 450ish.
 
I get 5 miles per litre about town about 6 miles per litre on the motorway. So would expect anything between 400 and 480 from a full tank dependent on where I was going.

That same AFM used to easily pass 400 miles per tank even when it had the 3.2L engine attached [8D]

Adjust the right foot Simon ;) or stop driving in the city
 
Maybe I have found the one area where Turbo's are better than S2's - they are more economical! I reckon on between 350 and 420 miles from a tank on my S2, with varied driving. Best ever was about 460, on a long run in France. Some of you boys seem to be bettering that average.

(On a serious note, I am guessing that a turbo driven off-boost is acting like a regular 2.5L car and hence more economical, hence the questions about what speed the boost is cutting in at, non?)

Yep I was wondering about this. I was off boost most of the time. But was wondering if dropping a gear and getting on to boost would be more efficient or less?

It can surely only be less efficient; on boost means more power as a result of greater cylinder filling and hence more fuel usage.

More clever people will be along soon to confirm or deny this .... [&:]
