Tune does help ! I drove mine IX to Chicago and averaged 27MPG .
My ex 3rd from left.

 

I get something like 10mpg when I drive my Evo. You must not being enjoying your car at 24mpg.

 

I've literally had my mileage down to 12mpg on ethanol.

 

I was pretty happy with 17 last time I checked quite awhile ago. I purposely never fill my tank just so I'm not temped to check.

 

after the drifting the other day it was at 16mpg, which was mostly normal driving in that half a tank!!

 

Careful now Kristen, you might get warned and/or scolded for even talking about that

 

Kristen,
You need to look into the TRE 1.5 way max lock rear differential if you like sliding your Evo. It will let you power oversteer like no-ones business.

If your car pushes pretty badly (which it currently should and will) put around -2.5 (or more, I run -3.9) camber up front and around -1 out back.

 

i might try that R/Ternie ...my car pushes really bad right now....

 

Give it more gas, Brandon :-p

 

Cant wait to get my LICP on and drive it down to ER for speed density conversion and a tune. You still on stock fuel pump and injectors as well? Judging by your numbers, hopefully I can expect around 330-340whp. I've got virtually the same mods as you minus an FMIC (just pipes).

How much did Lucas charge? PM me if you dont wanna put it up on the forum.

 

OMG so much oil starvation!


D Grade-
Yes, still on pump gas w/stock injectors.

R/Ternie-
That sounds like a good setup. Is that essentially only for sliding around or does it have other benefits?

 

It's mainly for better rotation and to help lockup and more oversteer. It works for your "sliding" but thats far from what it was intended for.

 

Thanks for sharing your Evo 9 dyno chart. I'm starting to become impressed with the 'early' torque curve on the MIVEC equipped 4G63s!

 

Derek, when you going down to ER? If you can wait till March when i get back we can roll down together.

 

I meant stock fuel pump.

Hey Steve. Unfortunately I cant wait till March, but give me a buzz when you get home and Id be more than happy to roll down with you. Ill probably need another service of some sort from ER by that time anyways.
