Hi,
just received my car back from a full engine rebuild. Not very clued up on engines so may seem like a silly question.
car hasn’t had any big runs and only done about 50 miles so far. My mpg is showing at 9.7mpg.
is this normal after a rebuild? Bearing in mind I do have upgraded parts such as Mahle forged pistons and ZRP conrods. King racing bearings. Airtec Stage 3 induction kit. Rsport pro400 intercooler and 3 inch downpipe. Planning on getting it stage 3 remapped after the break in period.
I know that fuel consumption will increase as the ECU and parts break in properly but surely 9.7mpg is extremely low?
any input would be very helpful.
thank you
