definitely not... did you see the speeds i'm driving? 58 mph? and I reset the fuel calculator on the highway.

 

the only thing I can think of is that with less restriction, the turbo can and does spool a little faster right? I think I read that somewhere, that would make mileage go down I guess.

 

Here's what I've done (havent' tried it yet). Look ok to everyone?

 

I did a little testing today doing some highway driving... the first test was crusing at 58 mph and the fuel bar mostly stayed a little bit under the 25 mark which is never seemed to do before. Once at 65 and 70 however it clearly was up at 25 a lot more often. Is this because of roll resistance or what? It just seems odd.

 

what does the manual say is the optimum speed?

i think the evo ix's was 90km/h

any more and drag becomes a factor...

 

lol, I never knew the manual had an "optimum speed" honestly... I always thought it would be what the speed limit is... idk?

 

it may not mention it... im pretty sure the IX manual did...

"sorry officer the manual says to do 90... "

 

well at least i'd have that excuse and could show it to them lol

 

Ummm, bump for looking at my timing table a few posts up.

 

I run 43 til 50 load and 42 til 70 load.

IIRC, there was no gain above 43 deg.

 

K, thanks. Once I get my newly found evoscan issues resolved I'll bump it down to that and do some logging.

 

I increased 3* from 50-70 load, does anyone think that's to much?

 

I mean to a total increase of 3* not above the other increase btw.

 

I'm running at 43 instead of 44 like I posted above with the screen shot. I flashed the car this morning and drove it for 2hrs. It did great. No knock anywhere, afr's good, no surging. On the cruising portion of the drive at 75mph, I averaged between mid 27's-mid 28's. If it was perfectly flat, I would've pushed into low 29's.

 

what sort of mods do you have?.. and are you logging just cruising or WOT pulls as well?
