Are you aware of kagouromod?

These began from the 80's, you were unborn and you remain at least for 20 years.

Those years the "bumpers" where made from polyesters and wire for chicken coop fence, ask your father to tell you how they looked.

Mine is stock.

Here are the results from the first test, home-work-home, no boulevard no Highway just plain City traffic with traffic lights etc in average 20 Km speed.

 

 

 

As you can see i just parked my car and i took the photos.

 

 

 

 

 

Average: 10.7 ltr per 100 km

Total: 2.5 ltr  for 24.4 Km so 10.24 ltr or 27.59 Uk MPG.

 

As you can see the results are no matching and i have explained why, nevertheless they showing that the FC had dropped dramatically compared to the one from previous year (same season) and they are the best for an at least 5 years period.

My car AT LAST is getting improved, if i didn't had those 2 bags in the trunk plus the weight from the insulation the results for sure would be better but i am happy with what i have.

I wish i could do another test but i have the ''G12 project" in my mind and i don't think i have the time for another one with the existing G11.

With ac the felicia overheats. 

Gets to 100C

Again you can't control the temperature. 

And you can't do nothing about it. 

Can you tell me your fan setup please?

Yes you HAVE DUAL SPEED fan, that doesn't make sense

I have a/c.

Yes but ac commands which speeds?
And thermoswitch commands only high or low?

@Thefeliciahacker Why you asking me thing that you already know?

I make 2 tests to see compared to last year (almost same period) the Fuel Consumption, no a/c then so in purpose no a/c now.

 

 

I have found from another Felicia the stock air filter box.

Inside the mechanism is stuck, the flap is semi-open so the car takes some hot air inside the throttle even when does not need it for exampel Highway.

I have never regret that i have removed it.

no its a thermal spring when the car heats up the flap close the hot air intake...

Yes but the car was cold, the flap must be closed but as @Papez has said in the past that flap may times get's stuck in one position because the wax that used as a ''thermostat" has a leak.

 

 

 

From another car, take a look the inclination of the air filter box and ho much space that tubes covers.

On the other hand i have seen dozens of videos with guys making holes beneath the factory box only because the sound would be ''better", more ''roaaar", i not interested for that kind of things.

So do you need the engine cover?

I can not duplicate the Γ shape on the hose which in on the throttle like he did.

If i could i would remove it completely, it's not useful to me.

Here is the ''Ultimate'' Miata Cold air intake

 

 

 

From round goes to this squeezed shape and then back to round, in the video say about Bernouli etc.

I wonder if that worth the $395.00 USD and what kind of improvement offers.

See? That's an engineer's idea, no work inside the air filter box as the amateurs do, ha ha...

I post in other topic that i drove 41 Km distance, City traffic, about 20 Km Highway, 2 Km Mountain Roads and the rest City traffic till i come home.

This wasn't for Fuel Consumption but for the Radiator flush circulation but i grab the chance to measure it.

 

 

Total (Σ symbol) 8.8 ltr gasoline for 91.9 Km which means 9.57 ltr/100 Km or 29.52 Uk MPG

I can't wait to see the results with the new coolant (G12) after the system has been cleaned with the radiator Flush, due to the high summer temperatures here another test for 30-40 Km distance would be difficult but for sure i will see the difference in the summer trip in few weeks.

 

It's obvious that the work inside the air filter box worth it, the results  after 200 Km distance tests in various conditions are excellent and i blame myself because i didn't have done this all these years.

What sort of Ron fuel are you using? I'd have expected 40mpg+ on that engine.

I am working mainly in 98 RON those days, in purpose for test.

Not from any brand or gas station but from a specific (i know it for 30 years) BP which belongs to a network and it's Corporate, not Private (which can change brand after few years).

BP Super Unleaded from that gas station has been tested in City traffic-Highway-Mountain roads, more on this in a future topic because i haven't finished all the tests yet, i had to make a summer trip and there is another test that i want to do in winter but i am very optimistic.

I have worked with other brands in 95 and with Shell (98 and 100) but i never get the same results.

 

I have succeed 5.4 ltr/100 Km or  52.31 Uk MPG but in Highway, my car is heavier than the stock (noise insulation plus 2 bags with all the necessary stuff permanently in the trunk)

Boot, this is an English language site.

 

Only joking, but we all in Europe not the US of A.

I haven't use the words ''bonnet" and ''boot" (in speaking or writing) in my whole life so it's difficult to do it now, we also don't use words as ''Awe, Splendid, Rubbish, B@llocks, Preposterous, Terrific etc" no matter if we know them by TV series of 19th-20th era style.

Although i do with words as ''I'm gonna" or ''I wanna", keep in mind that here in GR we don't ''love'' the Yankees.

 

I just remember that i took some photos before i start that test so i can calculate precisely the Fuel Consumption for that 41 test distance.

Tomorrow i will post the results and make @Thefeliciahacker feel uncomfortable (AGAIN). 😁

Luckily i found the picture that i took before the test, from the 47.3 Km went to 50.5 Km plus some gas spend in extended idle for the coolant flush-add distilled water plus additive.

 

 

So from that point i went to 91.9 Km and spend 3 ltr gasoline (from 5.8 ltr to 8.8 ltr) for a 41.4 Km distance test (include City traffic) so the Fuel Consumption was: 7.24 ltr/ 100 Km or 39.02 British MPG.

Me, because as we say here in GR "I am laughing last".

You just did, and it didn't hurt. 😄

 

Fair enough, but this is, an English language, car website so you see boot, bonnet, wing, manual (gearbox) and other non-USA car related words all the time.  As you may know there are a some words that Americans that mean something entirely different in UK English.  For instance in the UK very many bathrooms do not have a toilet in them. 🙃

No need for big bold letters, no one is impressed that way.

Same route, same speed and you have 7.7ltr ? NO and you know it.

I have saved the photos from the deleted thread (because of the Other guy fault), i will bring that topic back in a slightly different way.

That was a main rule back in ancient Greece, strictly those were separated.
