So, you paired a D15B(I'm assuming 7) with an ECU made for a D15Z7 and are expecting it to fart rainbows?

Any check engine lights?
How did you wire everything (vtec, egr, etc)?
Any maintenance?

Maintenance. Like a full tune-up. Did you do one? Are you driving for MPG all the time or do you floor it most of the time?

Stop bumping the thread.
What kind of mileage are you expecting? How about don't floor it all all and THEN start complaining?

Gotta floor it for that vtak doe. Looking at the grammar and annoying bumping, I'd say there was no math involved in figuring out the gas mileage. I think he's just guessing at it.

If I don't keep my vx in lean burn I get 38 in lean burn 50 ish. Hook up a mpguino or an a/f meter minutes your driving and what trans you running. Breaks dragging air pressure in tires foot in throttle. All will kill mpg. My cx gets better mpg just driving than the vx you have to try to get the mpg.

Don't go by the size of the tank. When you fill up, how many gallons does your car actually take to full?

Idk why there's no cel. I'm guessing you already confirmed it works. Sounds like something might be wired wrong.
