average 550 auckland to palmy via sh4 and the paraparas. if anyone knows the paraparas, you'll know its not exactally an economy friendly road

round town im at 400-500 km depending on loading and if i plant boot.

sf5c forester turbo, v6 equivalent.

I was getting 450-500km at a pinch if I ran it all but dry doing Hamilton to Wanganui via the paras giving it some toe. v5 WRX with STI Ecu probably running a bit rich. We did that 2 times a fortnight for about 6 months.

My Altezza will do well over 600 KM doing the same roads thrashing it. In fact Palmerston North to Hamilton on Tuesday via Desert road used a little over half a tank. I was very impressed with that.

Wouldn't have a clue around town, I cant say I have filled my tank for town driving in a long time.

*v8 sti spec c , 3inch from turbo back , front mount , intake , ecutek re-tune to 220kw atw ( later found out after 50,000km/6 years it only made 200kw atw) 330km to full tank/40L (not include petrol light). 3/4 town driving, 1/4 open road. was thinking the reason why it used so much gas was it needed to be re-tuned?

compared to my evo9 that made 241kw that got 420km town/open road was pretty disapointed

*standard v10 sti 480km to a full tank/ 40L ( not include petrol light ) open road

*v8 sti spec c with only axle back exhaust 400km to tank/40L ( not include petrol light again) first half a tank was open road, second half a tank was 1/2 town , 1/2 open road

correct me if im wrong full tank (less reserve tank) is 40L

Well the most gas I've been able to put in the coupe was 56L, and it was sitting right on the E mark. So technically that last 4 or so litres would have been in the reserve tank.

Generally on long trips I like to fill it near the 1/4 mark, I work out how much I've used on the whole trip and average it. From Wellington to Te Kuiti it would be near 1/4 and I fill it. It sucks it's not a Wild Bean in T.K. though - no coffee & pie.

most km's i have gotten was 687kms going to piha in the wrx and the fuel light had been on for about 50 of those km's as we couldn't find a petrol station.

I have a split fuel rail now so will be interesting to know if i use more or less gas now?

On avg I get around 500kms to a tank before I fill up (before fuel light). Worked it out ages ago and was about 9.5L per 100kms (11.5km/L?) on half town half open driving. And 8L per 100Kms (12.5km/L?) on open road. Would probably use less if it wasn't sitting at 3350 rpm at 100kmh with the RA gearbox.

Ver8 STi engine, FMIC, Link G4. In a GC8 shell.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
