Just curious what sort of economy the td42t's get after seeing the meet up in the middle thread. I would like to know what they get around town, on the highway etc
I normally get around 13L/100 just driving around but lately has been about 12L/100
Fully loaded on the Simmo trip I was getting 15L/100
And your running your 33's all the time yeah winnie??
I get on 14l/100 on average, that's running on 33s, mix of town/highway/offroading
Yes I am now.Quote:

I get 12.5-13/100 with 33's. 14-15/100 with the canopy on.
Before I modified it the best I got was 10.5/100 on 265 highway terrains.
Feck! Those figures are on par with my ZD30!!!!
265s will give you great fuel figures , downside is your Patrol looks like a skate board
Just did my first full tank mixed driving on 33's 14.6 L per 100km must say being a little heavy footed as it's only been my car fir 2 weeks
I think of it more like a pregnant roller skate :)Quote:

Comparing zd30s up at the simmo we were close on par Mark.
When I bought mine NA I was getting 10.8L/100. When I turbo'd it 13psi unintercooled , stock pump 120rwhp it rose to 12.4L/100, next tune same turbo, W2A cooler 12mm pump 207 rwhp it dropped to 11.5L/100. Now with a new turbo same cooler, pump etc it has jumped to 15.4L/100.
I can drop this though, my pump was set up for the old turbo, tune etc, and the new turbo boosts higher at highway speeds. It is over coming the compensator spring so I am almost dumping in full fuel.
If I get a new compensator pin and change the spring, and try and get more travel out of the pin I should be able to grind a new pin profile and regain some fuel efficiency
Especially with factory flares =)Quote:

what do you mean feck there on par with a zd30 there all better than what I get. the reason I got a zd was for fuel economy after talking to a few blokes the best they were getting was 18 to 20 from there 4.2s. all I can say is faaaaaark me dead said forskin ned the old bastard from the bush.Quote:

I think Marks have adaptor plates/kits for a Viper V10 conversion.
Instead of changing your motor why not think about doing a Portal axle swap,
combined with two diff locks would see you go many places normal 4x4s couldn't
Your too generous Pete, thanks for funding that little project!
Yeah but the problem is getting to those places without using a tanker full of fuel hahaQuote:

Done!!! Geez your a top bloke taking me out to lunch aswell!Quote:

I need to make the trol practical and reliable for how i use it which is towing the boat ( a bit over 1t) and a trailer full of firewood ( around 2t), wheeling is a bonus.Quote:

I'm getting those figures now what the TD boys are getting. Or there abouts... I would have thought they would be worse...Quote:

Now driving the tb42, that's a different kettle of fish all together, crap economy no matter what, where or how I drive so it's foot down and go :D
My 14.6 l/100 is from a 2005 td42i wagon with 280 000km on the clock this next tank is looking at mid 13's as I haven't been getting up her.
Yep mine are also from a 2004 TD42Ti with 330k on the clock still on original injectors and pump running 25psi.Quote:

I alternate between adding 2 stroke oil in one tank, followed by injector cleaner each 20k. Not sure that helps but it keeps the girl a little cleaner.
Also the best figures shown by Bene and Matt are utes which 'should' be lighter but also are modifiedQuote:

Maybe you need to lay off the krispy kremes Bene lol! :D
I was much lighter when I bought itQuote:

G'day Alitis,
I have got a 2001 GU 4.2 turbo diesel Patrol wagon and I get 13 litres per 100ks with 2inch lift, steel full length ARB roof rack, with all the bells and whistle's on travelling on all-terrain 33's.
With my trip down to Victoria at Christmas time fully loaded with my wife and three children, aircon on and sitting on 110ks, I was getting between 16-17 litres per 100ks.
Regards,
PMC
Before I modified it the best I got was 10.5/100 on 265 highway terrains.
Wow! Fully loaded under the same circumstances my TB42 gets 20-24L per 100km (depending on terrain). That's really surprising.....Quote:
