Hi All

I know there is not a definite answer but could some members with a 2000 turbo let me know what MPG they are running on a normal 'A' road run ? and what mods you have done to them.


thanks

A normal "A" road run?

Before mods, 22-25mpg
Since mods, around 25mpg, (400/400, fully forged 2.5. HS TD05 20g turbo, 740cc injectors, FMIC, decat, LINK mapped by Bob Rawle).

Steady on motorway (80mph, France) 28-30 mpg.

A-road run, usually 25-30mpg dependant on speed. Once saw 34mpg on a run to Lancashire, haven't since

Currently well under 20mpg but there's ovbviously something wrong on the Subaru

Mods currently Bob Rawle ECUtek map, 3" decat, Walbro running 284bhp 317lb ft.

Thanks both

i was hoping to get around 25MPG if i could im currently in a 3.2 v6 frontera but want some power again, that only returns about 20MPG so any improvement will be good

Mine oem facelift gets 26-34mpg, tho I must admit I dont drive it too hard

Mine is a standard 1999 turbo 2000.
I'm getting about 24/25 mpg but that was in centre of town and windy b-roads.

geez my old turbo was just about hitting 24mpg on a good run! was heavily modified as well. good little car it was!

mine is def more economical since i had it tuned, although depends, motorway taking it easy mid 30's, driving it like a look, single digits lol

I have kept accurate records for 12years 59k miles

250 to the tank in mixed fast drives including town

Can get 280 to the tank on a long slow constant run

Can drop to 230 per tank on a club run out at silly speed
So 25mpg average on a decatted my2000 turbo driven with smiles rather then looking at the fuel gauge

I only do 1200 a year with it now so it doesn't really bother me as the wrxd gets 480/500 per tank

Tidgy

how does the wrxd perform compared to the petrol wrx?

Like for like as it's just turned 40k as fast as the classic in normal driving once you get it into 2nd gear high revs
1st is a waste of time as it spins so fast you need into 2nd then the dreaded nothing untill it spools up again 3rd gear 30-90 is fantastic 4 pulls nicely to ### never use 5th and 6th is great for motorway driving and normal overtaking
I have noticed economy has dropped from 46 mpg to 43/44 lately for some reason but it is such a smooth motorway cruiser with a silent engine
I do miss the scooby burble though and not exciting for traffic light grand pros starts and roaring past grannies but I have my classic for that
Main thing is leans too much on the corners compared to my classic and I can feel sea sick driving it too fast into the corners
I suffer from car sickness on the twisties but I never feel it at all with the classic with the Eibachs and drop links geometry done etc

Steering is great in the new hatch and refinement is fantastic but it just does not have the raw appeal that my classic has but as a every day car I'm really pleased with it after 3 years 6 months

Would I get another one in a new shape 2014
Probably go for a STi petrol as I only do 12k per year now as I have a everyday Honda Accord for boring and economical runs and miss the roar of the flat four that keeps me young at heart

Tidgy

cool, may be it needs a new filter, whats it called, diesel particle filter or summit like that?
