Tune figures

[tantrum]

hey guys,
how long does it normally take for fuel consumption figures to come down after getting a tune done? i have a 09 ssv ute with 3 inch full zorst system and afm disabled.

cheers

No time at all - should be straight away mate
Get it tuned by someone who knows what they are doing

Fully dependant on right boot.........ie....BIG cam 11 second VE Maloo averaging 13.8L per 100K ex PT........did get a little lower ..but settled back to consistent figure :goodjob:..imho

What's the average speed when you get 13.8L? As I am sure you're aware average speed makes a big difference. People seem to forget to post average speed when boasting economy figures.

I'm with Roonstain - Noticed a 2l/100km difference on my next tank and found figures of 8.2L/100 at an average of 100km instantly

interesting, admittedly i do put the right foot in a bit harder now, but in saying that, it hovers around 13.8. could be the average speed as was mentioned above, that is only 50km/h and i dont spend long enough on a highway to get it to drop down any further.
should i hit up a trip to the coast to see if it would settle in a bit?

You disabled the main fuel saving feature of the engine.....your economy is going to get worse at cruise, not better :)

[Roonstain]

Yeah, any proper tuner can do a mafless tune with AFM enabled......
My car was mafless tuned with AFM enabled, and returned some amazing economy figures!

Even a retard tuner can do a tune with AFM still on. Thing is combined with a nice exhaust it makes your car sound stupid. Plus you can lean on them a bit more with AFM off than you can with AFM on and then the difference becomes quite minor.

bingo on what macca_779 said about the sound, butthe way i understood the disabling of AFM, is that the tune would bring around the same numbers as with AFM? someone correct me if im way of the mark hey.
i guess when i get home i will need to take it for a good drive.

AFM is worth keeping. Its a matter of doing more logging to get everything right when its on 4 cylinders. Takes a bit of time but i have a few cars i know could get to Melbourne from Sydney and average around 8.0L/100km - pretty good in a A6 VE. Tuned with AFM will do over 1.0L/100km better than you could ever get with it turned off on a long trip.
