I wont tell you what this thing does 80 to 120klms but there is only a few sports cars that will pass it and none are Australian, and I mean none. If my dad drives my rig which he has done many times he will see figures in the low 11 or late 10's litres per 100klms if I drive my best ever when I thought it worth checking was 12.3 litres /100klms but I am use to driving for fun not economy I just fill the tanks water and fuel and drive, when empty I fill again. But when I do check it is usually in the late 12's and even up into the 14's litres per 100 klms. My thoughts are its a diesel and a very old school to boot, why in the hell would you bother doing all these mods to gain pleasurable fun to drive flexibility and not use it? it seems pointless to me, but I might add though My dad had a 1988 Nissan TD ute to which I modified for towing on a highly modified 10mm pump but nothing like my rig but still he never saw high 10's in his rig even empty. He wanted my mods on his car for the economy value I said no farken waste.

    Na I was just trying to make a point to encourage a reply to a reasonable gain and not insane.
    If ya noticed wer'e getting 12 now so similar to yours I dont see a problem there, and infact exactly what I was looking for improved power and retain economy.
    Trust me I'll use it,the wife possibly not.

    again cheers OldMav
    It is possible to gain economy but its futile usually because you always end up using the better flexibility. The reason for a possible increase in economy is due to all the 1%ers these bits increase Volumetric efficiency hence your engine doesn't require as much fuel to do the same work or power/torque. There is a economy gain with water of course at cruse speeds but it needs to be set so water is injected at this point which requires a lot of water to be carried. Most setups are usually set for a change in cruse loads so fuel isn't used to increase load only water.

    Thanks for the comments but really forums are for shared knowledge.
