That's pretty good economy really. Mine is about the same perhaps a bit better on the hwy.....not towing and no turbo.....hmmmmm, turbo.....

Yes indeed, very slippery lol! My toy began as a daily getting exceptional economy (650km to 60ltrs) untill i got power hungry adding boost, bigger intercooler, aftermarket ecu then full blown out rebuild and larger turbo haha!!

mmmMMmm boost!!

I dont know how I missed this post??

So do you think fitting a turbo has helped???

the turbo has definetly helped the motor has so much more torque eveywhere and while im not making massive power(only 100kw at the rears on 33"s) the power come earlier and is much more useable. but at 6k so far (turbo kit, nistune board, fuel pump, injectors and dyno tuning) its not really a cheap way to chase economy)

another intresting note is ive discovered that towing my 2t tandem tradesmans trailer is no worse for economy than having a roof top tent fitted there is that much extra drag from the damn tent.

i dont have any no tent no trailer economy figures yet as i havent done any significant km's yet with just the patrol since fitting the turbo

We can do a budget kit and if you don't like it, sell it lol you'll get your money back i rekon

Anyone able to tell me what this padded thing is? It's sitting in the airbox underneath the air filter.

.9v is telling you that the engine is running in open loop or it is simply too rich for the ECU to correct.

A bad O2 sensor usually sits around .3v from memory with very little or no fluctuation.

A wideband sensor with gauge is a really good investment. Combined with an Ecutalk you get a pretty good idea of what your engine is doing.

I will go for a run and video the results and post them...

Andrew I have no idea what that foam thing is for... I thought it caught moisture before it could get sucked into the engine?????

I think that acts as a noise baffle but it could be something to do with making the air swirl
