Tte turbo reference

1979scotte · March 21, 2018, 21:40

Runs better on colder plugs for sure.
Had colder plugs on the SP and the V6 has I step colder and they're iridium's. Too much faff changing plugs on the V6 every year.

Tte owners can I ask what mpg your getting please ?

@Ardent

s12vea · April 22, 2018, 20:15

Not sure of mpg but full tank would usually get me 260 miles (my daily commute) but when drive hard I'm not sure.

wotugonado · April 22, 2018, 20:38

Thanks
@s12vea
Do you know roughly what the amount of litres your fill up is ?

1979scotte · April 22, 2018, 20:57

Dan I know my SP wasn't exactly the same but it is similar.
Worst mpg was 27 best was 40 average was 32.2.
Most fuel I ever put in was 40 litres.
It's a 48L or 10.6 gallon tank.

Cheers @1979scotte

Well I've just gone on fuelly and it's early days but my mpg is worse than yours which surprised me.
Wondering if all tte turbo's are around this figure, when driven properly of course.

s12vea · April 22, 2018, 21:31

38 litres roughly. Same old story if driven with minimal boost they will return 40mpg but when drive properly mid to low 20s

When not gunning it the SP is maybe more fuel efficient?
Lower revs for the same power?

Mid to low 20s?
Are you sure?
My V6 averages 25. With a supercharger!
Fuelly says I never got less than 27mpg with a turbo.

@1979scotte
Well it's a weekend car so I'm all about the driving properly. I'm seriously impressed your getting that mpg on yours though

Ardent · April 22, 2018, 22:48

Can be anywhere between late 20s early 30s when playing.
Will expect mid 30s on the run to sywell

Fuelly takes quite a few consistent entries to build a reliable pattern, I was getting 55-60mpg at first on my standard PFL. Showing 29 after the Dales drive yesterday, which is about right. Obviously doesn't help with your TTE comparisons but give it time and it'll start showing more accurate data, especially if you do partial fuel ups and don't tell it.

My fuelly records are based on 14 fill ups and 3300 miles.
Obviously my average is kept up because I do a lot of motorway miles going away for weekends and the like.

One tank of fuel seems to last me all year.
I'm not proud of it but fuel economy is pretty good on this TTE Turbo albeit from lack of use.

What he :protest: said.

Why invest in a car for it to just sit there?

SuperArt · April 28, 2018, 14:07

Im always short of either time, energy or money. Last year work was pretty much my whole life so I had neither time or energy. A few weeks ago I lost my job so I have time and energy but can't justify the expense. It's all good - I've managed to find something better so hope to get the car on the road a bit more this year. 🤔 Might even make DD.

s12vea · April 28, 2018, 20:35

You need to attend DD mate, make it happen

Smcknighty · April 29, 2018, 17:48

Nice thread. SP turbo is near enough tte for me to join in isn't it? With the iridium plugs how often are you changing them? Also what oil change durations are you doing?

wotugonado · April 29, 2018, 18:37

If its all relevant then by all means post up

Oil change I do per annum, i don't do many miles per year as it's a weekend car. I always use Fuchs oil and change just before my MOT.
I used to do sparks at the same time, but these iridium last longer so perhaps every couple of years now.

What happens when you feed these cars normal unleaded rather than the high octane stuff? Jo just filled the car up for me for the first time.

wotugonado · May 15, 2018, 17:26

It'll run poorly, don't know if it will do damage, but if it were me id put a shot of octane booster in to get the Ron up

1979scotte · May 15, 2018, 18:01

Stay below 3.5k rpm.
Hopefully the knock sensor will prevent it blowing up.
As Dan said get octane booster in there.

Is it a proper TTE or does it have SP mods?
