Thirsty TD27T

[ArvinSlayer]

300/34=8.8kms

I got 300kms, out of 34L of fuel....i cant see how? It had a recent oil change, the EGR mod, pod, and intercooler. i have a few loose vacuum lines, in particular i feel might an issue is the line going into the inlet of the intake manifold after the turbo, i still havent gotten around to drilling the hole and attaching that back, but, i dont really know if that could be the problem, so i am putting it out there for you guys to have a crack!

Peace

I got 300kms, out of 34L of fuel.

thats 11 liters per 100km's which is about right. i would consider that fairly good. it will vary a fair bit depending on driving style.

[mudlva]

or 34ltr / 300ks = 0.113x100 = 11.3ltr/100ks

my hylux 5l (3ltr) van does around 10.5/11ltrs per 100k

so i wouldnt think the nassin isnt to bad... or is it???

[Butters]

That's the same, if not better than mine. 40L gets me around 300km. There's a 5km stretch of steep uphill on my 13km drive home though, and about the same on the way too work as well (Dunedin CBD to Mosgiel via Wakiri/3 mile hill for any Dunedinites out there). Most of my driving it too and from work.

If you have a boost leak that won't be helping

[Sadam_Husain]

my cruiser gets 25l per 100km on petrol

[muddyhilux]

my cruiser gets 25l per 100km on petrol

and i thought my 20l/100 was bad enough

[navara66]

My d21 navara with td27t get about 430km to 50l and is the same open road,town driving and towing. The milage was the same when it had a non turbo td27 just a bit more power now.

[mudlva]

HA thats nothing...

33ltrs per hundy of LPG in my cruiser before that motor went boom.....

found that 1,2,4 cylinders 70psi or less
that 3,5 cylinders 120psi or less
and 7,6,8,cylinders were around 150psi

so effectively only realy running 3 cylinders and still able to line tow a 3.5t 20seater bus home on over a 100k trip (average speed of around 80K )

am hoping the new motor will be a whole heap less

[driftrex]

my td27turbo, gets around 600km to a tank (50litre?), mixture of open road and town driving in a mistral.

I wish my one was as hard on diesel as yours is. Mine is much worse

[sibainmud]

I wish my one was as hard on diesel as yours is. Mine is much worse

But yours drops out on the ground

Should get way more than that

Cheers,

[kiwipete]

[ArvinSlayer]

i get 450km outaa a full tank on the safari(70l) so your truck is alllll good

[klompy]

I thought safaris were 90 litres.

[crazyclark31]

nah some (think patrols) come with 90ltr tanks but i know mines 75 as i ran out 50mtrs from pump and filled it to top of spout and it was 76ltrs

[The Stranger]

Can't tell how much I get from a tank due to the 31" wheels and the speedo being way way out.
But I use way less fuel with the intercooler and water injection.

[Crash bandicoot]

I have the late model mistral with the computer controlled 2.7 Tdi-e (or whatever they call it). i get on average 750 kms on road or around 450 500 if its playtime

[ArvinSlayer]

yeap thats the amount of kms (750ish) i used to get, now it barely hits 700, sometimes just 680?

[ArvinSlayer]

so how important is it to connect the boost compensator back on?

Peace

Arvin

[tweake]

not going to go very fast without boost comp connected.

[ArvinSlayer]

yes tweake it wasnt going fast without it, but now i have solved the issues, just had to plumb back all the lines, such as the vacuumbrake assit line, and the boost compensator, and it has brought by fuel right back up, m now getting 700kms to the full tank, good times!

Peace
