G'day guys after loading up with a heap of accessories and bigger tyres my fuel economy and performance have gone to the sheisenhausen, I would prefer to go down the BAS remaps however rather than getting a response of "she pulls a hell of a lot better" what are the actual real life examples, before and after. Particularly fuel economy as mine has gone to 17.1ltrs/100kms around town :BigCry:
Cheers

Without dyno testing I am not able to give before and afters - however after my BAS remap I have not noticed any noticeable change in fuel consumption (and I record every drop of fuel that goes into my car). Logically you should not notice any real difference as you will use the extra power available - in theory if you were to drive the same as you did before the remap, fuel consumption should improve marginally as the engine is now arguably more efficient.
What I did do though, was a series of 0-100kph tests with the map in and out - the time decreased just under 2 secs in acceleration so there is substantial improvement (14s to 12s - foot off the accelerator at the start) - and Drive is now Quicker than Sport mode in straight acceleration from a standing start - though Sport feels better in the gears when on the road.
Edit - I normally get about 11l/100km around town but can get as low as 8.5 or as high as 13 depending on how I am driving.

I have the one from Davis Performance. The difference is astonishing. I would also say almost 2 seconds faster to the 100k. The fuel economy has not changed at all. I'm still getting between 9 and 10 l/100km (I do 90% highway driving). I get an airbag fault showing, and the occasional suspension fault too, but I did install the LLAMS kit at the same time, so I don't know which one causes the faults.
hey there.
Ive had the BAS one in for 2 yrs now. Car still runs economically, and for a 2.7 tonne bohemith and does accelerate nicely especially if you jump on the throttle after about 1500rpm.
I have roof racks so economy may be worse than others but around town doing short woman style trips she gets 12l/100km, longer urban trips she dips into the 11's. In the country it hovers in the low 9's. I done a trip to sydney in it towing a race car at 110+ km/h she returned mid 11's.
I keep the map sensor clean with alcohol spray every 6mths or so to keep throttle responce up and smoke to a minimum
