philbey Posted December 25, 2011 Report Posted December 25, 2011 Worked 5k averages 9l/100 but will easily run at 11.5/100 if i drive it like I stole it too much Quote
Toy-Yoda[RL] Posted December 25, 2011 Report Posted December 25, 2011 I used ~3/4 of a tank driving my KE55 to Campbell town and back, total distance of about 140Km :P Quote
BlueKsev Posted December 25, 2011 Report Posted December 25, 2011 My old 4k with very low k's did 10.2L/100km...with a 32/36 weber... Didn't think much of it but these other 4k figures are a lot lower.... And i'm currently working on some figures for the new 4ac. I'll put them up after Quote
19914afc Posted December 25, 2011 Report Posted December 25, 2011 My T18 1.8L std with 130xxxkms used 6L/100 no matter what kind of driving conditions, after exhaust and 38/38 Weber went up to about 7-8/100kms and about 9 - max 10L per 100 flogging it up mt glorious... at the speed limit of course.

marksKE25 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 My Ke25 has a 2t with 3t internals so 1.8L with twin 40mm webbers gets about 12-13L/100km. It's rather thirsty now that I think about it..... Quote
kickn5k Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 I've had my 5k with 10.2:1 comp, small cam, extractors and twin 1.5" su's got between 7-8L/100km. With the blower etc on was more like 15-16L/100km.lol Was worse than my old AU falcon 5ltr!!! Stu. Quote
doityourself Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 With my 3K-H running on straight LPG, I'm using about 10L/100km - which is really cheap @ 67 ish cents per litre. Engine mods: Impco CA125 modded to an early mechanical secondary K carby throttle plate, ceramic coated inlet manifold, big port head, standard 3K motor (assuming to be 9:1cr), currently 1-1/4" press bent extractors, 2 inch press bent exhaust 1 hot dog resonator & 1 muffler. Tuning: slighty rich all through the rev range as tuning LPG properly is a hard bastard, also running approximately 22 degrees BTDC, no vacuum advance and total mech advance of 37 degrees. ITS NOT PINGING YET!! Driveline: KE55 5 speed, & 4.3 Borg Warner diff. Quote

kickn5k Posted December 29, 2011 Report Posted December 29, 2011 Dang thats about as much as my EVO 8, But I'm sure she got up and boogies Was better when I thrashed it.lol. I didnt spend much time getting the part throttle setup right. The new turbo setup with full sequential efi will be a whole heap better on fuel. With 102rwkw in the lightweight beast was enough to worry mildly modded wrexy's and early e36 m3's. Quote

Power to Weight is a great bit of kit, That is all *waves Jedi sign Quote
kickn5k Posted December 30, 2011 Report Posted December 30, 2011 Power to Weight is a great bit of kit, That is all *waves Jedi sign Yep you can't beat the feather weight KE-1X. I'll see how the new 5kte setup goes fuel wise, but seeing as I'm going full sequential efi not fuel only with locked dizzy should be alot better. On topic my 2.5ltr turbo diesel Mazda BT50 gets mid 7's/100km on a 30+ degree day with the aircon flat out!! Got 10lt/100km with the aircon on and datto on the back. Stu. Quote
coln72 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Posted December 30, 2011 my high compression, 3KB carbed 5K in a KE35 would average 30mpg (yes I talk real figures :P ) guess around 10L/100km for you uneducated folk, on the highway. Would see a quarter of a tank go really quick if I got excited........ Was too scared to check the consumption of my old club car. Cam, carbs and lotsa revs didnt give good economy. Think over a quarter of a tank in a days comp. Sounds ok until you realise that that would be around 8km... :o Off topic. My old HZ ute, 6cyl auto, used more fuel than my old mans HZ sedan, 4.2l V8 manual, on a trip to Bathurst, and the sedan was towing a camper........... :blinks: Quote
ke20rolla Posted December 30, 2011 Report Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) I've got a late ke55 with a stock standard 4k 1300cc/4 speed manual and I've done 500klm so far and still on the same tank. :dance: Edited December 30, 2011 by ke20rolla Quote
