MPG for turbo
MPG for turbo
im wantting to go turbo but i do a lot of miles every day and i would like to still see some good MPG, i know MPG and turbo should not go in the same sentence, but does anyone with a turbo check it, i talking like 5, 7 PSI, IC or not. thanks
I get about 25 mpg avg. with a decent mixture of street and highway driving. I've got RRM's ic'd kit with turbo ecu running 5lbs but soon to be 7 lbs. This is also letting the car cool down with the turbo timer set to 1 min.
i dont know average or anything.. but before i use to get 260 miles before the gas light would turn on.. now i get like 300... i'm at 5 psi.. bonestock with just the non-ic turbo and springs.. i dont know why.. guess i'm lucky... but i do get more mileage.. weird huh

If you get more mileage it's because you've changed driving styles. In boost you burn more fuel per cycle than naturally aspirated. Since your car makes so much more power with less stomping. You're probably just mashing the fuel a lot less and coasting a bit more.
My fuel economy was awful, but I had seeerious fuel delivery problems. I was getting anywhere from 100-215 miles PER TANK mixed driving, but I was running something like 8.88-9.89:1 AFR at some points and then going as lean as 17.6:1 at others. Hoping to have that fixed when I get my car put back together.
EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention mpg will vary depending upon boost settings and the AFR's you run/set.

i get about 230 before the light comes on...and im all stock
either i got some dirty injectors....or i reallyneed to stop nailing the pedal all the time.
this tank i drove much 'nicer' and i got an extra 20 miles by the time i got to the 3/4 fuel line
