Fitted a k&n induction kit to my scooby, drove 2 hours to a see a friend and used twice as much fuel than with the panel filter anybody have a solution to this problem, because if not i will put the old one back on

RB5_245

Don't Know if this is what you want to hear but my RB5 has an HKS Induction kit and the fuel economy is pretty much unchanged, and it's not even been set up properly yet. Downside is the 170 notes to cough up if you want one.

Doesn't sound right to me, i've had to K&N 57i's over the years and my fuel economy didnt change...

RB5_245

Mine Pops a bit on over-run but it's been run now for about a week, so does that mean it should have learned by now, it has been give a sound thrashing and a few hundred miles

its better doing it this way as you don't end up with a bad back for the next week

do you need a better reason to go for a 20min blast!

RB5_245

Do I need to do anything else with this then? it does feel like it's running a bit rich now, but could that be coz' i changed the blow off valve and there's no more re-circ line? I read on a website that it neede set up.

gashair

so how many miles do you get to a tank then?Also is yours an import or UK?

RB5_245

Mine's an RB5, Uk of course around 200 to 250 per tank depending on the mood, optimax or 98 all the way

just be very carful with induction kits chaps,i have just taken my hks off as it made my jap wrx run mega lean that the lamdba link would not even pick it up or get it mapped to run correctly.

ok just had a chance to carry out the nessecary reset, blasted down the autobahn at 110 for 20 mins, noticed the fuel went down by a 1/4 of a tank, this is very worrying, how long until i see any change?

for 15 mins,
what should be the next best thing to do, drive down the raod fully laden for 20 mins while ecu re-learns...?
never heard of doing it htis way b4.. to be honest...
