Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i reccently bought a 90' single cab on 33's with the standard dif ratios

just wondering what kinda mileage yous are getting from the 22r.. it has a 60L (standard i assum?)

i have yet to run a fuel tank out but by the looks of it im gonna pull 500km form 60L this sound right compaired to others with the 22r lux's?

(this is after accounting for the speedo and odmeter being out)


cheers
gene

i have a 97 luxxy 22r motor with 31s standard diff etc. and a 73L tank all i get out of it is 440Kms which sux

22R - 33's std diffs no account for speedo calibration about 350-400kms

about 450- 500

When did you get the 22R fitted?

My old 93 Dual cab with 33s and EFI was lucky to get 400Ks out of a tank. From memory i was averaging 300Ks

Around 350-380 with 31" & 330-350 with 33"

Including K&N air filter, snorkel, hyclone, extractors and free flowing exhaust.

The 22R makes a great boat anchor!

i only get about 340-360 running 32's on the road, snorkel,air cleaner,extractors, etc.
but i have done a bit of work to the carbie in mine,

all the peopel getting under 400 theres gotta be somethign wrong there???

33's on standard diff ratios put the speedo and odometer out approx 22.7%

so the 400km on your odometer really means approx 490km...
if u didnt already know that..

i stil havnt finished my 1st full tank... (got 1/4 tank left) and iv already done 330km (which is really approx 400km after accounting for the odometer being out) so im hoping to his 480+ true km b4 the 60L is finished..

i thought it was only like 10% - is it really 23%??

Should have got it Dynoed Was rich as hell

350-400 k's on gas ($27 to fill)

33's standard ratio, extractors, no spedo recalc.

haha yeah

i followed my old man in his BMW at 110, so i was doing 110 and it read 85 on the speedo = 22.7% out.

lol real acurate mesuring, like that im suprised u could get a percentage to a decimal point.. seems obsurd to me.. 33's on my dsl change ratios less than 10 percent.. get the manual and check the ratios, do the maths propperly.. way i figure it is im only kiddin myself with how many kms i get when i acount for ratio missmatches ect..

well following at 110 and the reading being 85.. working with them 2 numbers it would be exact (exact for them 2 numbers = 22.7%) it might actually be out for the car itself.. like i might have been following at 108 and the speedo read 85.. or i might have been following at 113 and the speedo read 85, ect.... yes theres room for error like that but using 110 and 85 , 22.7 is exact..

with this iv marked all the locations of the speeds on the clusted and use them instead of the stock markings, and using them i seem to flow with traffic pretty much right on at all speeds, which would tell me that its farly close to being acurate


when i get some spair $$ im gonna get a VDO speedo as its self calabrating.

easy was to figure it properly is to take the tyre size that the car had when released from the factory, (the speedo will be geared for this size) then work out as a percentage how much bigger your 33's are, and that percentage will be the percentage your speedo is out...
for your 22.7 value to be corect 22.7 percent of 33 is 7.4 inches, this means for your speedo to be 22.7 percent out your 33's are 7.4 inches bigger than standard.. this would mean luxes came out with 26's as stock... i think not!!

you will find a 750/16 was the stock tire, measuring about an inch smaller than 33's, in turn puttin ur speedo out by about 10.5 percent...
ymmv

well i guess everyone in SE QLD decided to driver slower teh day i got my lux... cos iv been driving with the 22.7% recalibration and im pretty much doing the same speed as all the cars around me..

i will just stick to that till i get the VDO speedo and see what happens

ok ...heres some maths

inch=25.4mm
pie=3.14

Circumference=diamaterxpie

C33=33x25.4xpie
=838.2x3.14
=2631.95mm

C31=31x25.4xpie
=787.4x3.14
=2472.44mm

Therefore percent=2631.95 / 2472.44 (-1 and x100)
= 6.45% roughly

You Nerd corkhead, you must be a computer Geek....

Shut up and get that big Mitsubitchy in the mud...!!!!!

Square root of my arse, nerd boy.....

LMAO........

Sorry couldnt help myself, nice work maths boy....
