LEONMEX Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Just took the escort out for the first proper test after fitting twin 48s & new 4-1 manifold & single box system,sounds the tits & goes & really screams for more now. Done 20miles & cost me just over £20 in petrol Well worth every penny
LEONMEX Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Posted July 24, 2007 Got it booked in for a rolling road session next week so that might make a difference. I reckon it cost me the same in tyre rubber aswell though
Copey Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 haha, you think you will get enough petrol in the tank to run long enough for the road to take a reading
Fiesta Steve Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 lol, sounds like it needs setting up, possibly pump juts too big, that'll make it drink. I get around 80 to 100 miles from £20 in my Fiesta
fairlane500 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Bloody hell Leon makes my old motor look economical But look at it this way,thats a lot of quater miles for £20 Sean.
Admin Vista Posted July 24, 2007 Admin Report Posted July 24, 2007 Jesus melitas, that's about 4.5mpg! Definitely needs some setting up as that's about the right ball park for a 7 litre Bentley that weighs as much as an iceberg! Bet it sounded good though!
LEONMEX Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Posted July 24, 2007 Yeah it pops back through the exhaust alot on over-run & it done that with my old 45s until they got set up,its a bit spluttery low down till it gets to 3500rpm then clears & goes like fook. But it is defo in need of setting up As for the quarter mile,cant wait to get back out there & see if it really has made a difference
marky4 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 nice one leon even though your wallet is empty i bet you have a smile from ear to ear
