Hilux 4x4 Forum

George ek dink die manne praat hier meer van jou odometer se lesing. Tipies is jou odo spot on uit die fabriek uit, groter bande maak hom pessimisties.

Ek het my odo ook getoets.Op 400km wys die GPS 417km

Ek sal maar volgende naweek my een ook toets en daar na besluit wat moet doen. By wie kan ek die bakkie se carberater laat werk!!

Towed Yesterday a 1.5Ton braked axle trailer to Pretoria and back with headwind there and back. Came back with heavy load (Old Solid wood Cabinets, Fridges and a full canopy load back, with 3 people on board. Cabinets was about almost 700 mm higher than my raised roof canopy.

Towed all the way between 95 km/h - 120 km/h. Ave fuel Consumption for the trip worked out to 6 km/l.

I think the old 4Y is still one of the best motors around, even though it might be a bit underpowered for the SFA when towing heavy loads.

Im getting 8,6 km/l and i believe i can better this ...i messed around with the idle jet but ill let you all in on it if i wasnt in such a rush

part of the problem when it comes to fuel consumption on 4y i believe, rests with the emmisions control computer.. it is over calibrated and hence waist lots of fuel whenever engine is below 2200 rpm...simple modification can change this.....8.6km/l town driving

I don't know of any RSA 4y Hilux's that any form of emission control. If yours has, then it's not a local model.

Can we add a section for driving conditions as most of us don't use a full tank just in the town or highways?

My Lux used 14.5L per 100km this included highway dringing,offroad driving (trials) aswell as town driving in heavy traffic is this good or bad?

This represents mainly town driving and open highways. My worst was 8.43 km/l and the best was 12.42 km/l. In my experience (no brand bashing) I receive the best fuel consumption when using Total. I have tried Sasol and BP, it was okay - 9.3 ~ 9.7 KM/L. Engen & Excel (albeit 500ppm) gave me closer to 8.7KM/L. I have not yet tested Shell.

When I'm fully loaded on holiday and 4 x 4 ing...around 12.5L / 100km...

I just did a round trip to PE with Talula (2001 2700i SRX 4x4 D/C)....I was astinished at the consumption achieved! At a steady 90-105kph she gave me 9.4km/l fully loaded! This included 20 odd fishing rods strapped to the roof and the bak loaded FULL of fishing kit! We then needed to make up some time so the second part of the journey was between 120 and 140kph and she still manged to give around 7,8km/l! On the way back I drove her the first stint and she picked up her skirt and hauled ass to catch up the convoy average between 130 and 150 and she still gave me 7,5km/l with a full load!

She has had the head flowed and ported, cam cut and fuel pressure regulator modified and freeflow from dick bates in Salt river. SACS did the engine mods (before I bought the car, I found the note in the service manual with job card number and called them to confirm work done) and say it is good for 125kw.....I cannot confirm without a Dyno run and love my baby too much too put her through that!

The injectors was replaced by Toyota on 89000km.The consumption doesnt get better.Dont know what the problem can be anymore...
Is it because of the tyres & spacers?

CONSUPTION Trip 1: From Cape Town to Oudtshoorn (via N1) to Mosselbay (via Outeniqua Pass). 10% town driving. Not sure of average driving speed but kept it between 100km/h and 130km/h = 7.58l per km or 13.19l per 100km
CONSUPTION Trip 2: From Mosselbay to Swellendam (N2) to Worcestor to Cape Town (via N1). 0% town driving. Average driving speed 100km/h (kept refs at 3000rpm) = 7.86l per km or 12.73l per 100km

hilux 4y will be heavy on fuel because the carb's idel jet is governed electronically to only shut off after 2250rpm, so even at cruising speeds where you are below this rev limit the idel jet is supplying extra fuel.i disconected the little computer that switches the jet off and on!

Ek het in 2012 my 22R laat EFI. Dis 'n paar keer ingestel en "ge-dino".
In stedelike verkeer kry ek 6 km/l.
Dié vakansie was ek Stilbaai toe en het grondpaaie gery so veel as moontlik en nooit vinniger as 100 km/h nie (GPS spoed).
Die verbruik was nooit meer as 6.4km/l nie.
Voor die EFI het ek tot 7km/l gekry.
Vanuit 'n brandstofverbruik oogpunt lyk dit nie of die EFI die moeite werd is nie.

Far Distance : 7.7km/l 13l/100km " "

I have to mention the following: the fitment of the 31" tyres gave me an almost 100% accurate speed and distance reading (checked against GPS reading). Before the fitment the speedo reading was about 10% higher than the actual reading. My consumption remained more or less the same with the fitment of the larger tyres (taking the error in reading etc into consideration). The Powerflow upgrade gave me a saving of approximately 1l/100km or approximately 0.5km/l. The best consumption I was able to record was 9.5km/l or10.5l/100km (I swear, I double checked distance and that the tank had in fact been filled to the brim)!!! This record consumption was at an average speed of 90km/h, but fully loaded with roof-rack in place. Worst consumption was 2.85km/l or 35l/100km But still on smaller tyres, no Powerflow and 80% driving in riverbeds, partly wet, mostly dry; nonetheless, revs had to be kept up (anything higher 3500rpm) to avoid getting stuck... Now with the larger tyres and powerflow upgrade, the consumption should be considerably less; so far I could only feel the improvement driving in thick sand, but covered too small a distance for a fair comparison.

I normally drive between 100 - 110 km's/h due to weight of vehicle and terrain. Holiday trips are about an average of 7 000 km's/year with 2 000 km's done during the year on smaller recreational trips in the area.

I have now fitted a KZTE motor to my SFA with maual pump.Question is can you put a gas analiser up the exust to check co2's and if so what will the recommended co2'S be.

CONSUMPTION: 11.9 L/100 Km over a very undulating road with lots of moderate and some steep uphill climbs and had most of the way side and from the front wind blowing moderately. Speed was between 100-120 on the speedo most of the road.

Excellent, Johan. Specs very similar to Bulldog so hopefully I will expect much the same on a long trip.

I just ran my lux ('01 2700i D/C 4x4) up to Arniston and it returned great figures of 8,3km/l. I had my Fibreglass canopy on for the run but did not have my usual 4 rods and a gaff on the roof and I'm sure the lack of the resistance from the rods helped. My cruising speed was much higher than usual though running between 100(up the hills) and 120 and even managed to hit 150 on one flat section while opening the taps just for the hell of it, and there was still plenty left under the right foot!!

I have made some changes since this post. My Hilux has had Cooper STT's fitted, 31 inch. Immediately the fuel consumption went out of the window! I was averaging around 7,8km/l an it dropped to about 7, or just under, I have a log book but the spreaddsheet only gives an overall average for the past 6 months (7,29km/l). Goch & Cooper have recently chipped and Dyno'd her. She now pushed 112kw and has a majorly flattened Torque curve, huge gains low down! She is currently at Burnco for a bumper to bumper rust removal and respray so I cannot give a figure on what the dino tune and chip have done. I can say she ran much better on a trip to Struisbaai just before she went in to Burnco. She did seem to use less fuel than usual for the up and down trip and overtaking was a breeze. I could easily cruise at 140 and have plenty left to pull an overtaking manouvre when required.

2.5 d4d d/c 4x4 srx 2011
I get 9.7km/l mixed driving.
Is dit got of sleg? Wat kan ek doen om beter te kry?

Here is the fuel log for my vehicle, from new (Sept 2008) to last update (Feb 2014).

Daar nog geen Lexus v8 consumption nie

Ek wil ook graag weet die fuel consumption van alby lexus v8.

Alien hier bo het n lexus in...

Dankie, Hangover. Ek was nie seker of dit 'n Lexus is nie. As jy na die brandstof verbruik kyk is dit dieselfde as die V6 engin.

Sylvester wrote:I just did a round trip to PE with Talula (2001 2700i SRX 4x4 D/C)....I was astinished at the consumption achieved! At a steady 90-105kph she gave me 9.4km/l fully loaded! This included 20 odd fishing rods strapped to the roof and the bak loaded FULL of fishing kit! We then needed to make up some time so the second part of the journey was between 120 and 140kph and she still manged to give around 7,8km/l! On the way back I drove her the first stint and she picked up her skirt and hauled ass to catch up the convoy average between 130 and 150 and she still gave me 7,5km/l with a full load!

She has had the head flowed and ported, cam cut and fuel pressure regulator modified and freeflow from d**k bates in Salt river. SACS did the engine mods (before I bought the car, I found the note in the service manual with job card number and called them to confirm work done) and say it is good for 125kw.....I cannot confirm without a Dyno run and love my baby too much too put her through that!

What does the fuel pressure regulator modification on the 2700i entail?

I have no idea, SAC did that before I owned the bakkie. I assume to give more fuel pressure.
