Surbo and Toyota Rush 1.5A

Just want to share on this one. Went back to Keningau from Kota Kinabalu fully loaded with stuff at the back & 4 passengers.

Refuel at the last station before Tambunan. Just RM20 of the R95. Just to see how far the VVTI 1.5 will take me and my family by using that much of a fuel. Of course the tank still got 3 bars left before the RM20 refuelling.

The climb was so tiring. A lot of slow mow due to rain and probably slippery road. After the slow mow, got cow mow bringing goods to the interior of Sabah. Will not blame them for being slow. After all, these transporters are the one who will bring you your goods. Could not imagine one going to Kota Kinabalu just to buy one kilo of sugar. Will you? ...

Ok.. Back to the main story. After dozens of overtaking uphill to Gunung Emas (is it Amas or Emas?), finally going down to Tambunan. Thanks to the EBD and ABS, could not keep my speed under 60 Km/h. Sounds a bit dangerous since the Rush is a bit tall with not that wide body. Feel guilty of doing it afterwards.

On a safe straight road, the speed is around 110 - 125 km/h. Well, it is safe and straight anyway. So blast it off. After a jammed packed road at Keningau Town, I reach my destination around 2 1/2 hours after I left Kota Kinabalu.

Ok.. At my destination, my fuel tank shows the 3 bars. Same as before the refuelling at Penampang. Maybe because of the crazy drive rushing uphills, racing downhills and speeding straights..

By the way, the picture belows are my car using twin Surbo. Heck of a Twin Surbo. Simple installation so why not? Check it out..

The first Surbo is the Gold one. Fitted inside the air intake filter casing nozzle. The second Surbo is the blue one. Fitted into a housing and secured at the air intake inlet nozzle using a cable tie.

This is how it look like under the hood. Nice one.

Anyway, if you guys wondered that this will cause the engine to suck hot air? Maybe yes maybe not. The hot air are just below the inlet of this housing. If you have a Rush then you will know what am I saying.

Now lets finish the story. As for my trip back to Kota Kinabalu. Same 4 passengers with more stuffs at the back. Bringing back some stuff that available for free at Keningau but cost a fortune at Kota Kinabalu.

Refuel at PSS Keningau for RM20 on R95. This time the fuel tank shows 2 bars left. Used up the 1 bar to roam around the jammed Keningau Town. Same speeding straight, rushing uphill, racing downhill, crazy overtaking. After almost 3 hours reach home. The fuel is back at 2 bars.

So can be loosely concluded that my car is fuel guzzling for drinking a RM20 of R95 Petrol per trip to Keningau.

That's about it friend - sorry for the anti climax ending.
