Toyota Soarer Question - fuel economy  

smithter

soarercentral.com would be the best for that.

I just purchased a soarer and have been workign on it, so I havent had a chance to test out that kind stuff yet.

S.Breezy

ok cheers will check it out.

S.Breezy

all good now .

found out the 1uz toyota soarer uses 14.1L / 100km
and 1jz toyota soarer uses 13.5L / 100km

TAZMX6

That can change from vehicle to vehicle depending on work done etc. You could get two engines direct from factory and one will perform differently than the other.

S.Breezy

true this is stock engines , its only a estimate aswell

markness

they arent very good at all... they run very very very rich... less than 10-1 Air to fuel ratio... i got a SAFC in mine which helps a bit.. but as you know i have a 1jz and not the 1uz... i;d do the swap... so u can get out of a fag-e-70... and soarers are pimp

Scottywilkes

the 1UZ are frieking fantastic on the highway, depending on the condition of the engine and relevent sensors etc, 8l per hundred on the highway is easily reachable.

Around town etc, as long as you dont stomp the throttle all the time, your looking at 12 to 14l per hundred.

1JZ about 14lper hundred around town and i get 9l per hundred on the highway (this is based on driving down to hobart, 3 dyno runs, then quite a spirited drive back to launnie with mates haha)

If you know how to drive them, there good

ecko

dont the 1uz have a epic fuel tank tho?

Scottywilkes

what the fuel tank have to do with litres per hundred? LOL has nothing to do with capacity.

there 78 litres, same as the JZZ30, JZZ31, UZZ30, UZZ31 and UZZ32
Costs me 116 of bp ultimate to fill up LOL, but its worth it

RoBBo

you wouldnt bother stomping it anyways, they sound like shit and go like shit
buy a SS ha. my flame suit is on.

S.Breezy

im not swapping my ke for the soarer mark lol im buying it .hes selling it really cheap as well even tho its a 1uz , im 2k off getting it , but gotta sell my ke first before getting it .

got ages to sell though the soarers not going anywhere.

smithter

Yeah well im gonna be a 'boost looser'

arr yee u farken kent why talk shit about the car i drive, i et ya drive a hektik 20's vl turbu ya feifin dog

I chose a soarer over a Commadore

RoBBo

id love a vl turbo on 20s actually haha but no i dont drive but id rather a ls1 commodore over a 1uz soarer ha. i personally think soarer look like shit

Mayhem78

If it helps i have the 1uz and beleive it or not on the highway about 7ltrs/100k,thats with the eaton ontop(which actually helps). Aront town is a bit more,but in all ive been blown away by the fuel economy.

S.Breezy

wow nice but is it in a soarer?? cause soarers are heavy boats .

smithter

Yeah it is mate.

S.Breezy

thats wicked fuel economy then.

smithter

Is only a small v8 really.
My mate's getting a commadore from his dad thats a 3.8 v6. (Cant remember model no.)

MookieMadskillz

Baby it and they are fantastic on fuel resist the urge to gas it everywhere and it will get what mayhem
is getting

Mayhem78

Yep! In a 91 G.T 4.0. Yeah their heavy,but if your suspension is good i.e. coilovers, that makes it alot easier. Dont get me wrong as mookie said "if you baby it"... I went from Bellerieve to sorell,richmond,grasstree hill,risdon vale an back to bellerive on 6ltrs,babying it. anothertime i used over 20 ltrs for pretty much the same run.... All being said,in general they are a really fuel efficient engine,thanks to quad cam,only 4ltr v8,and the research and technology that went into the 1uz design.

smithter

Did some research and apparently they put 400 million into researching and developing the 1uz O_O

in my celsior i used to average 10l per 100km on the highway and 12l per 100km on combined cycle

re: sounding shit, the 1uz is the best sounding motor i have ever owned.....

Mayhem78

Not only did they spend 400 mill+,they also built over 330 prototype engines before they were satisfied to start production. Whereas holden/ford etc may build upto 10,and then they do s1, s2, s3..etc...because they cant get it right!!wtf?? (flame suit on). Lexus spent more coin on developing the 1uz,than what NASA spent puttin a dood on the moon!

if u worried about it being too thirsty best stick with a 4 banger

its only as thirsty as ur right foot makes it

I didn't find my old soarer too bad on fuel, but in saying that it wasn't real good either. On the open road sitting at 80 - 100km/h it was sensational... get over the 110km/h mark and it went down hill. Drive with the boot planted for any length of time and the thing sucked down fuel like it was going out of fashion.

I think the best I ever got out of mine was around 650km from a tank, but it was an 80ltr tank or something spastically big and I was driving ms daisy to get that far on a tank.

ohhh and to weigh into the hitech V8 vs dinosaur V8. Soarer needed 4k plus revs to be exciting and the exhaust I had didn't really make it sound all that good, but I have heard some good examples getting around, IMHO you can't go past the sound of an early Holden V8, the firing order is just spot on! And the extra torque down low feels more exciting that the Soarers top end.

markness

1jz no shit...



seriously

pipster11

changing o2 sensors on imports is usually good for a fair bit more mileage

they rarely get changed in japland or at compliance and most only have a life of about 80,000kms

logans ute and lloyds rolla sound pretty sweet ?
