b1g_dav3 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hey guys, thinking of adding a little poke to my Mk7 Zetec S and was considering either a remap (or a tuning box which yes I'm aware is just some resistor's in a fancy plastic package), or going for larger injectors and a custom remap to go with? I have heard of people putting in Focus 1.6 injectors which are larger or something? Thing is, I don't want to loose a ton of MPG, I don't mind a few because I'm averaging at 59mpg anyway even driving hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1g_dav3 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 59mpg driving hard how I have a mk7 zetec s deisel and I'm only getting 51mpg driving hard most of the time I've only done 14500 miles in mine I alternate between hard/eco driving, but when going for it shift around ~4000rpm, not sure if that'll make any difference but I doubt it lol. I'm on 14k now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambooka Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I rev to about the same and alternate between thrashing it everywhere and cruising with the cruise control set to 60 have never had it above 54mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hmm, must be the whole 'no 2 engine's alike' or something, at 60 tucked in behind trucks I can hit high 60's. I wouldn't mind installing cruise some time on my Fez >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind installing cruise some time on my Fez >.< That's why I always fly past trucks. The cruise control is a blessing in disguise got inath to do mine and it's brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 You 2 need to slow down, I get 65mpg @ 65mph :P Personally I would just get a remap that takes it up to 120bhp and leave it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4nz0 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I average around 50mpg usually, but I've had it up to 70 for a little while. Managed 600 miles from a tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your probably right but even when I do 60 I can't get it past 54mpg suppose every engine is different. I think a remap is the way to go hopefully mountune hurry up with there tuning package they must be getting bored of all my emails by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1g_dav3 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Shame there isn't a Mountune option or I'd get that without second thought, just after waiting since September I'm not so keen any more on waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
