I am thinking about getting a integra instead of my DSM because my DSM gets horrible gas milage. What kinda gas milage do you get out of your turboed LSes and GSRs (94+)? Thanks.

 

Good gas mileage with proper tuning (EMS/Hondata). You might want to try the search option on the boards, this and many of your other questions have been discussed in great detail. Go to http://www.hondata.com and read up on the system.

 

I'm currently boostin 8 psi and tuned with a f*cked up clutch running 300@whp w/225torque@w

gas: 20 miles per gallon so about 200 per tank

my car is pretty much done in the engine bay so I think this is pretty good.

 

Seems to be a little worse with the turbo, but nothing too drastic. I say i loose about 2-4 Miles per gallon. boosting 8 P.s.i as well

 

240 on a full tank untuned and now i am getting around 320 on a full tank at 7psi

 

It's all in the tuning and how heavy your right foot is.

 

Stock Turbo LS w/ 550 cc injectors, 200 miles per gallon w/ shifting at 3 grand.

"I believe shifting should smooth and full of expression" Socrates

How can it be stock, turbocharged, and an LS. The three don't go together.

 

I can pull 300 miles consistently on 7.5 psi... Also that's with inline, fmu, and Walboro 255 lph intank fuel pump..

 

stock ls 4 dr.. i'm refilling around 220 miles.. 10+ gallons... i've got horrible gas milage

 

turbo cars are gonna get horrible gas mileage is you are hard on the gas and heavy in the boost...

stay out of boost and you'll get probably pretty close to stock fuel economy

Im gonna have to agree. Im not a turbo expert, but if you turn down the boost a lot, I would assume you can get close to stock gas milage. Why run a lot of boost everyday anyway? You arnt on the strip everyday, are you? Just turn up the boost before you get to the strip.

 

essentially, we are thinking along the same lines however on a properly tuned car you can't just turn the boost up or down.

the solution would be to lift your right foot from the acclerator pedal a lil more often. boost isn't always there... it's only there when you are accelerating.... the harder you accelerate, the more boost builds, the more gas you use....

 

Don't forget about the gas wasted when motor is left to idle when tt is on.

 

i gotta say im pretty heavy on my car.
i was typically getting like 20mpg in mine on a decent tune it wa slike 14.5 out of boost and 12.0 in boost
one time highway cruising i just broke my 5t gear syncro in Pittsburg so i babied it back and got like 320 miles tothe tank.i wish that happened more often

 

No matter what anyone says, it's the dumbass that controls your right foot that controls MPG. Drivers of a turbo LS/GSR, especially the prone-to-exploding-setups, usually take it easy on the throttle and that gets you really good mileage.

If you're Brian Spilner, you'll get about 4 mpg and a bill for your engine rebuild.

If you're Grandma Ester, you'll make about 35 mpg, even with 20 psi of boost.

Period.

 

close to stock if you dont boost! otherwise it depends on how much you are boosting. Its not all that bad.

I disagree. If you did your turbo right you would have larger injectors and an upgraded in tank fuel pump. Even driving slow doesnt matter when your pumping that much fuel.

Well, it all depends on the tuning. If you ahve bigger injectors and bigger fuel pump, you can tune it via Hondata/EMS/etc.. to inject like stock when not in boost. The excess fuel will be returned back to the fuel tank

he probably meant stock bottom end.

 

I would guess I was getting somewhere around the neighborhood of ~23mpg

you can disagree all you want, youre completely wrong.

 

You guys think 200 miles a tank was bad, I would never see over 180 miles a tank running 10 psi, untuned, I guess that's why my motor blew, ohh well?!

 

i'm happy...i get up to 295 miles per tank!

thats on a N/A motor
