i wont be running cams as severe as yours, think i would stick to the re-profile i have now
reading the 205 forum it seams that if set up right on the RR it should be about the same as standard with gentle driving obviously

If your botherd about mpg and petrol prices engine tuning isent for you.

it won't run on std injectors
it will be way too lean
and i think the kit come with injectors too
#23: Re: mpg on throttle bodies Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Fri Jun 22, 2012 3:44 pm ---- kam racing dont list the injectors just that you get a fuel rail in the kit, mac also didnt mention injectors so assume you didnt need them
the mpg will seam bad to a deisel owner lol, my boss had a modeo st220 which on normal driving would only do 22mpg 28 on motorway being steady
#24: Re: mpg on throttle bodies Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Fri Jun 22, 2012 3:51 pm ---- He's only got v.mild cams seabook so standard injectors would be fine.... I think. I knoticed a drop in mpg straight away. as when I left my car with pug1off all I had dine to it was a k&n panel filter and a cat back Powerflow exhaust it came out with a race spec engine+a few extras i lived at the petrol station for the 1st cupple Of months as I was driving around every were then I started to find the balance when you 1st fill up you can drive it hard for the 1st half as it don't last v.long then just Eco drive for the last half lol, in the winter when it was freezing I was lucky to get 200 to a tank. On the way to fcs I did 150 round trip on half a tank but I was doing 60most of the way.
#25: Re: mpg on throttle bodies Author: Seabook, Posted: Fri Jun 22, 2012 4:07 pm ---- hmm....
i am surprise you can use standard injectors after ITB mod.
