i was wondering how far do your turbo setup go with a full tank of gas...or miles per gallon...and would you recommend turbo for a daily driver?

 

on my fully built y8 turbo.....

it takes me 190 miles to get from my moms house in walnut creek , down to my navy base past fresno......and if i fill up in walnut creek it takes me a little less than a quarter tank to get there.

 

roughly 300 miles a tank in my integra....If i beat the **** out of it on high boost, it goes down to probably 220

 

220? Obviously you don't boost a lot when you beat on it, because mine gets about 150-200 when I floor it a lot (like all the time). But that's pretty much what it was NA. Same goes for if I take it slowly, about 300-350 a tank.

 

260-290 maybe 300+ if drive really conservative. 230ish when i push it.

 

man i get awsome milage compared to you guys lol

 

CIVIC COUPE LS TURBO 300 CONSTENT FREEWAY MILES CITY 200
BUT THAT BECAUSE I LIKE TO FLOOR IT ALOT

 

on the highway I can drive all day long, about 280 on a tank full.

In the city it is unreal. I have used up 1/4 tank in 1/2 hour! the rx-7 injectors dump in a ton of fuel when I boost, but I havent fine tuned it on the wideband so Im super rich.

 

My EF with the utterly repulsive combo of B16 motor and LS trans will nail down about 25 MPG on the highway if I don't boost. Considering how depressingly long the LS trans gears are, that doesn't happen much.

About the same here. Made it from San Diego to Primm, Nevada on a little more than 3/4 of a tank.

 

I've driven up to about 260-290 miles on the odometer before the gas light comes on.

500 kms/tank 3 pple in car and camping gear.
b18C w/greddy turbo/hondata/rc550 cc

 

D14A4
12liter/100km - which makes it about 20mpg
Same in city/open road... in city I drive a bit 'faster' (hitting boost all the time), and on open road about the same (most of time over 100mph).... driving usually rather fast. Lowest I got it on open road was 9.5lit/100k (~28mpg) but this was also rather faster that rest of traffic... I just can't bring myself to drive slow

 

I got 25 MPH driving like an ******* on an extremely rich AFC hack...

This compared to the 31-32 that I got N/A

 

10 psi on an F23 and I get almost 19 MPG city/freeway, beat on daily. It's an auto too.

 

I just got 320 out of a tank . All highway though.

 

I usually don't let the tank get lower than ~3/4 empty, but I get 32 mpg city, ~40 mpg highway, and the ocassional ~28 mpg driving like an idiot.
set up (b20/ ls trans, @ 10 psi, hack)

 

So how exactly are you getting better gas mileage than stock while boostin?

 

I get 29 mpg on my built turbo motor, running Hondata and 367whp @ 19psi

 

I know it sounds like BS, but I'm a really conservative driver ( I rarely ever give it more than ~15% throttle ). What I'm getting now is the same as when I was NA.
I used to get a little better when I had the stock d16z6.

 

it's not the turbo itself that gives you bad gas mileage..it's you wanting to hear the bov nice and loud every time you shift

Because, ever try getting up a hill with a low power NA motor? You have to ride the throttle longer to make it up the hill. When you have more power, you will not have to give it as much throttle to make it up to speed.

 

I get better than stock if I cruise. It's tuned pretty lean in vac with more advance than stock.

 

Wow, I get a little more than 400 to a tank if I baby it, about 320 or so if Im having fun This is in my EF with y8 swap and IHI turbo at 8lbs
