Default fuel consuption is killing me

Damn, how far can you drive with 1 fuel tank? I can only drive about 170 miles until the tank is empty.

Also when I drive it realy slow and boost never goes above 10psi it needs that much fuel.

This is with a/f ratio 13:1 on 720cc injectors.

that's it? Perhaps they should have tuned your part throttle settings higher up, somewhere around 15:1 for very light loads and gradually increasing with higher load

What are you using to control the injectors?

part throttle is 14.1:1

Haltech ECU

360 miles with one tank? Damn, even with stock engine this was not possible. With 190bhp stock engine I reached maximal 250 miles.

Yep, I drove all the way from Miami to jacksonville, and still had gas left over to get jiggy wit it. haha. The key is to keep your eye on the vac. i try to keep it steady and not accelerate at a high rate.

I get 300 plus miles with daily driving, I run 78 miles round trip to work on side roads not highway. I'm not fully tuned yet so it should get better or stay the same.

****!! I'm with austrian type-R on this one and I'm running 440's with vafc and the best I have gotten on one tank so fahr was 220 usually I barely break 200 but that's it and I would say I probably boost around as much as Christian does...

On the other hand stock I was hitting 280 at the best...
Just my 0.2 cents...

Dont forget you are running batch, rather than sequential on your haltech. I told you this was gonna happen.

okay, maybe this is one reason, but I realy doubt it is that much of a difference. 1 litre more per 100km, I don't care, but 6 litre more, than before sux!

What is with newgsr? He needs nearly that much fuel than me. And don't forget, I was burning more fuel with my stock ITR, than you boosted guys. Something is wrong here, perhaps my driving-style.

Stock engine: about 220 - 250 miles per tank
JRSC setup 240cc: about 210-240 miles per tank
JRSC setup 310cc: about 190 - 220 miles per tank
Turbo setup 440cc: about 180 - 200 miles per tank
Turbo setup 720cc: about 155 - 180 miles per tank

I think larger injectors are dumping way more fuel into the cumbostion camber on light partial throttle than smaller injectors ON THE SAME A/F RATIO. Deoes that make sense

PS: I don't write how many "miles per gallons", cause converting your imperial **** into our cool metric numbers hurts my head too much.

Damn I used to get 450 miles per 10 gallon tank in my stock DX. When I switched to the EX head and started running mysteriously rich, it went way down but now I'm getting 260-280 and I boost all day long every chance I get

ANd still running too rich! Anybody have an AEM rail mount FPR for cheap?

HA HA HA

I get 38 miles per gallon on my Zdyne tuned turbo CRX (normal driving). Maybe you guys should remove some of the BLOAT out of your overweight tegs!! j/k I have gotten as bad at 16 mpg when I constantly boosted with an FMU.

That means I get to go over 330 miles on a tank. I pass rustangs in the gas station all the time.

I don't mind $2 a gallon, it still would cost me under $20 to fill.
