Mine goes off-road
no matter what I do, it's 300kms.
Next plan is replace the cat and rear muffler.
after that the o2 sensor.

Help Support 4GTuner:
yippie, finally got 300kms out of a tank, usually hovering around 250-270kms. god thats terrible.
i still havent done anything to help the consumption though, i know i have a vac leak somewhere, i bet the cats bad and the o2 is probably dead. so there is some hope.

Still haven't changed my o2 sensor as I can't get the old one out. :angry:
Have to drop in to a shop who can loosen it enough for me to remove it later on...

Miodrag. With the boost you're running, I have NO idea how you manage to get that many km's.

All about the turbo size and when boost comes on.
Stay off boost for longer to get more k's
really want that 18G

Yeah I can't get mine off also
If its anything like a vr4, its easier to take the O2 housing off than stuff around. Another bloke with a gsr on here had the same problem. And soak it in heaps of a penetrator like Inox or Pernetrene.
Or you could possibly cut a spanner in half, if that means you can get it in there with some clearance and hit it with a hammer like a flogger.

I ended up buying the correct tool to remove it.
But it needs more penetrating fluid than........
Might leave it there...

How do you know you have faulty sensor?

Cause I've replaced everything else, and i'd put money on it being a factory piece.

My old N/A was worse on fuel than my HSG... and I can really feed fuel to the HSG... I'd say a good tune would help

perhaps.
however the only difference from factory to now is a 3" exhaust and a modified air intake snorkel.
Wouldn't see that as a result of losing perhaps 50-80kms...
perhaps the condition of my gearbox is contributory to the poor economy, stays in some gears too long, doesn't downshift when it should, etc, etc.
All adds up in the end I suppose...

That's too much... I get up to 400ks on 98ron. Standard engine with just an air filter.
