TurbochargedBerserker Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 My last tank netter 7.6 mpg . Keep in mind that this counts the tuning runs on Sunday (10-12 WOT runs) and numerous 'just because' WOT runs. It's still better than the first few tanks of 5.5 If I can keep my foot out of the pedal a little, I might get back up to 10-12, but the way I have the dual pumps set up, and with this turbo, cam, and converter combo, anytime I hit 40% tps or so, I'm into dual pump action (4psi hobbs switch on pump two). Maybe I can start unplugging the trigger on the relay unless I'm in high boost mode... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithl3 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Ok, if you have had time to go through three tanks of fuel in this sucker than you are way over due for getting us all some numbers at the track. That is worse than the Hummers gas mileage You are making a lot of tree huggers happy right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Can you trigger off the MAF rather than TPS? Instead of 'after I put my foot down 40%' something like 'after the engine needs X-amount of air..." Mr. P. Edit - I just answered my own question - you're running a SD tune, that's why your mileage is in the toilet. Put the MAF back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah it's actually a 4psi hobbes switch -- it's just that I make 4psi anytime I'm at 40% tps or more I don't have a MAF anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurbochargedBerserker Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 It's better with the MS gone -- I sat at idle for over an hour on the last tank (in addition to same driving style as before) and got 8.2mpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what you should do, instead of primarily searching for more power now is to see what you can do to get mileage up to 10mpg without loosing rwtq/rwhp... Mr. P.
