Default **Official Boosted MPG**

Broad spectrum of MPG on your turbo setup.

List setup, power, and driving style. just to give me an idea and other people. CHURCH!

30MPG

2000 Acura Integra GS. Full interior, a/c, p/s, cruise control, ABS. 9lbs on t3/t04e
Stock injectors, Missing Link, FMU, walbro 255.

Drive everywhere out of boost.. When I see a yellow light gun it.

If I boost around I get between 25-26.

Highway MPG are even better.

To be honest I don't know, I bought it off of ebay for 30 bucks Vortech FMU. I am guessing 12:1 because to run 9-10lbs w/o leaning out that is what I read you are suppose to run. I also have a missing link. With this setup I ran 13.6 with a 2.23 60 foot no e-brake preload.

On my air/fuel ratio gauge it stays green and looks like it is ready to get into the orange. Not a wideband

WHP I don't know is on a stock obd2 ECU and Highway MPG I am unsure of either because I've never driven from F-E on a highway. The best I ever did was an hour and a half drive following a school bus going 60MPH the whole way (Max legal speed limit for a school bus) on the highway and from a full tank to half a tank it was at 200 miles so that would equal out to be 40MPG.

Not that many people drive on the highway at that speed so I guess I shouldn't count that.

damn...thats hella lean...is it alright when cruising? i would want it at maybe 15:1 i would be scared if it was that lean...what is your af when you are stepping on it or wot? and you advanced the timing? damn...maybe i dont know what im talking about but you must be doing something right to prevent detonation...thats good mpg though ntl

Whats up Jarvis, its DK

I got 16 mpg in the city, and maybe 22 mpg on the highway. haha

I drive it hard and put it away wet though.

81mm/87mm gsr 17psi via a 3065r/3082r 1kcc precisions, ectune pro. 93 octane, 13 degrees @ redline @ 22psi

14.5 afr - idle/low load
13.5 afr - medium load
11.5 afr - boost

Tried adding timing and leanin on it more in the low cam, nothing really helped fuel economy.

1992 DX Sedan with stock 1.5L
Mods:
Greddy TD04H kit @ 5psi with front mount, 2.5in exhaust (no cat) with a vortech 12:1 FMU and Missing Link. So, probably only like 135WHP.

39 MPG on an Average tank! If I hyper-mile the car I can get about 41 per tank. I drive 50% highway 50% city daily.


I'm installing Hondata, 450cc DSM injectors, and Walbro 255LPH fuel pump in the next 2 weeks and dyno-tuning at 9psi so.... I guess my MPG is going to go down then

32 mpg for the most part with a bit of spirited driving. 2300~ lbs with me in it. T3/T4 on a stock GSR engine. Typical afr is 14.5-15.0:1, 2500-3000 rpm cruising.

Not sure what I am gettin but for sure I can say it guzzles gas at full boost and out of boost it gets good mpg. I am wondering in some of the other boosted "big block" guys would chime in on their mpg ...

whats up man! theres no reason u r getting that bad of gas mileage, but i dont really boost a lot unless i need it...

my tune pretty much goes from as lean as possible in cruising rpm's, to around 13.8:1 at 5 vac then tapers to 12:1 for 0-10psi, 11.5 from 11 on up...

ive not had any issues doing it this way, seems to be getting the best mpg numbers and havent noticed any detonation, spark plugs look clean, car runs fine, ive dont a few close friends cars that way too without an issue also...

i just pretty much take the car as lean as it will have it (sometimes tahts 15:1, sometimes its 16.5:1, depending on the setup and the car), and right when its on the verge of bucking i add a few degrees of timing, and that adds some of the power back in thats lost by the lean condition... i jsut try to keep an eye on everything, ive been doing it this way for 3 years now with no problems...

there are a few setups that i chose not to tho, a friend of mine has a ctr piston gsr build, and obviously its not a setup u can get away with a lot on!
