I suppose yours is the V6 99/00. I was comparing with the customers who have come into the workshop and asking their metro avg fuel consumption

You are one lucky guy. My Honda doesnt even produce that sorta mileage --- spoon ecu
If you can check what AFRs you are running, let me know.

do you get a lot of black crap around the exhaust tip on your rear bumper? if you do, this is a good sign that the car is spitting out unused fuel and running too rich.

i had a link fitted to mine with only an exhaust and a 'street' tune and was getting 250kms from a tank. it was running very rich and making a mess of the rear bumper.

once properly tuned, it cleaned up nicely and runs afr's of around 10-11. it is still within safe limits and has been running this way since 2004. get 450-500kms per full tank.

have the stock pump, turbo etc.

just a full exhaust and link ecu (an old school bad boy one)

YES. Blacker than... uh... ill leave that to your imaginations.

But I already knew that it was too rich.. easy to tell with a bit of common sense!

My AFR runs at 14->15.
