Super bad gas mileage HELP
Ok here the story. Before i got my car tuned i had a stock LS which I got 320 per tank so that is 26 MPG. Then I decided to put a turbo kit in. So i did. Befor tune i got 340 per tank with the turbo in. I knew i had to get it tuned so i did. Got the car tuned and now all of a sudden i get only 220 per tank thats a bout 18mpg. Also I really dont think the tuner did anything as for tuning wise. But that is my opinion. Well know that more power means eats more gas. AFter a few months I decide to go back stock so i take it out. So I'm back all stock (LS). Still I am only getting 220 to the tank. What I wanted to know is what the heck happen to my gas mileage? How can i get it back to 320mpt.

You took it to the tuner, but you don't think he tuned it? Do you know if he pulled your ecu out.. Maybe chipped it? or Are you running a VAFC? I can only think he added alotta of fuel and your car is running rich.

i think your calculations are off so i wont waste my time trying to help.</TD></TR></TABLE>
Yeah there's no detail.. If he put the turbo kit on hisself he would understand it took a little bit of knowledge and he posted no details.. nothing about the turbo setup, nothing about the fuel management, also what year is the motor?

The fuel managment was ****. Walbro 255 with a 12:1 fmu. Had a S-AFC on it but took that **** out cos it was useless. Tuner didnt even touch the dam thing. Also he said it was useless to have it n e ways. Setup had stock injectors, stock fuel rail, stockFPR and stock motor. He just wasnt able to tune it all the way cos it wasnt getting enough fuel. That is the main reason i took the turbo out so i dont blow my **** u dumb ***. I payed him for the first hour jsut so the car is drivable and for the dyno run. It only took an hour. I was thinking it would be ok with the **** i had in already but i guess i was wrong. And yes I did get a lil more gas milage once i bolted teh turbo on prob cos i didnt punch it due to the fact it wasnt tuned yet. I just dont see what he could of done to make my gas milage go down so much. That is what im trying to figure out.
I know he didnt pull out the ecu cos my ecu is still stock also he would of said something if he was to chip it. Also he would of charged me if he did chip it.
My simple question is how am i suppose to get my gas milage back up to what it use to be? Why the expletive is hondatech full of motha ******* that love to talk ****? Just help if u can if not expletive off. Cos i know someone else has the same question as me or will have the same question later on. O and yes I did put the turbo in personally. If you wanted to knwo my set up jsut ****** ask instead of talkin ****. I swear if we were talkin in person u wouldnt talk all the **** ****** wanna be internet gangster.
Set up: T3/T4 turbonetics 2.5" piping all teh way. 3" downpipe, blitz BOV, BLOX manifold with AC, walbro 255lph, tail waistegate with a 9.5 psi spring and a missing link. Took out the boost gauge, air/fuel gauge, turbo timer, boost control and apexi S-AFC II, all that stuff was useless.
Please help if you can if not STFU and move on. Thank you.
