I cleaned the maf last night, disconnected the battery for 2 hours etc etc.
Driving to work this morning and the mileage as indicated by the scangauge has improved dramatically!!!
Is it too early to be excited? Do I need to reset the scan gauge? Everything else seems normal, boost, temperature, rpm

Actually I used to unplug it so it didn't sit in the sun on my dash board so I spose I don't need to reset it! Woo Hoo! Massive improvement in economy by the look!!

I wouldn't go off the gauge personally, although pretty accurate I would fill up/drive/fill up again to full and work out the economy allowing % differential for bigger tyres, etc . ie. I'm 6% out on 33's
Hoping you get an improvement tho
….................... On the move
Yeah I normally do that and my economy has been shithouse at the bowser and the scangauge

G man does the scan gauge read boost pressures and egts or are aftermarket gauges still needed for that stuff??
MAP, yes. MAP is more relevant than boost anyway.Quote:

This is where I mounted my Ecu-Talk .
@ Kallen my one reads boost and water
temp along with speed and a few other things.
Im in the proccess of fitting a 52mm water temp
gauge very soon
I hate you people right now, I still can't get mine lower than 16Lphk.. even after cleaning maf.Quote:

Record was 8.9
Vehicle returned almost exactly 12.5 LPH averaged over the 120,000 K's I had it while on lease
Chipped, 3 inch, 33's, EGR blocked,
Scan gauge was GPS calibrated to allow for tyres and regularly monitored against actual fuel to allow for the Chip.
The device was very accurate 'cept if I did a fair bit of sand work then it might be out up to 3 or 4 percent.
Seems I have to spend to save.. stuff it 3" exhaust is next mod for me then. Should take 2.5 years to pay off roughly.. seeing I'm looking at keeping the thing for next 5 years, might just be worth it.Quote:

One of our fleet jobbies (Navara) at work is a total POS and uses about 17LPH, it can just get from Perth to Geraldton with a tail wind.
One of the BT50's uses about 15% less fuel than the other BT50 and the Rangers.
If you have an MY12 and intend keeping it is out of warranty I would get the ECU done and not bother with a Chip.
First off take some of the sinkers off your shoe laces,Quote:
