Default Its done it again!

I drove the AU too canberra and back for a few days this week. Had a bit of a holiday with the girlfriend to try and forget all the s*** that happened with the car.

WHen we first left, im pretty sure the car didnt know it had extractors and still thought it had a turbo bolted too it as it was running pig rich and like crap. I thought a bit of a trip should blow some cobwebs out and get it learning the cam again.

We headed out saturday lunch time so it was starting to heat up. I must say i was worried about how the car would go on a decent sized trip. AS it has the battery in the boot, the catch can fitted pretty far away, the cam, the extractors, etc etc. Oh and a hole in the sump..... (stupid oil returns)

With all that said, the AU managed a PB of 8.5L p/100km on the way too canberra, and an average of 9.7L p/100km around canberra.

I filled up often to test the literage to make sure the trip computer wasnt lieing. From Wagga and around canberra i got 375km of driving, i filled up with 32 Liters of fuel. This is an average of 8.53.. This was around 100km of city driving too which bumped it up too..

For a car that needs tuning, running pretty ruff, and running very rich, i was stocked hehe.

Also out of curiosity, how much blow by should i catch in my catch can? I have it fitted it sequence between the PCV and the stock source on the plenum. I got around 3/4 of the can filled with oil and condensation over the few days?

Around town i get a few specks of oil here and there, but on the highway it was pumping through.
