Steve W2 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Was quite surprised to find that after changing from my Nur spec R back to the standard exhaust that my fuel consumption now seems to be better by about 20-30 miles on average. This has been consistent over the last 4 fill ups using the smae petrol:conf: Also noticed that the car is a little less willing to kickdown (Auto) than when the Nur was on. Must be due to the lower back pressure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 That's interesting, does any one know if removing the cats on a non turbo and turbo car increases or decreases fuel economy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W2 Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 It will beacuse you would be running a higher boost pressure which means more fuel:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Ok that makes sense, what about on the non turbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_Devlin Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Yep, definitely found a reduction in fuel economy since decat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would stilll think so but to a lesser extent. All of these parts are performance upgrades to an extent, you may not feel any quicker but you are supposedly extracting a few extra ponies, and them ponies need a drink:p If the engine is taking air in quicker and pushing the gases out quicker you can get more through = worse consumption. All IMO of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
