hey everyone...

did a search for this post, but most have been inconclusive and no facts so far...w/ soaring gas prices w/ no relief in site, i've been looking for mods to help me w/ my mpg...my q is - do you need an safc and i/e to cut the fat off of our lean machine? or will an intake and tune remedy that also...noobie willing to learn!

leaning out your A/F will give you better milage

 

A tune will do the same thing as an SAFC

 

Leaning a/f ratio will save fuel and a better SAFC but you will rob the engine of in-cylinder cooling.

ease off on the gas and dont boost

 

The Evo responds differently to mods than most cars. On most, air filter and exhaust will help fuel economy. On the Evo, it is all dependent upon the tune. Your best bet is to stay out of boost. If you have the money, you could get a 4 cyl. beater. It really depends on how many miles you drive.

 

yeah, my evo's been a daily driver and w/ our other truck being a 96 jimmy that ain't too kind on the pockets either! but i've just accepted the fact that the evo is gonna be expensive and that's that - when the day comes when i can't afford her anymore then i'll just let her go...just gotta practice some discipline in finding 'pretty' mods for her!

 

i swear my evo gets like 6 miles a gallon, lol

 

Get a flash to limit your boost to 10lbs. or just sell it and buy a civic
