hmm gas is such a pain in the bootyhole, its ridiculous how much our 4 cyl eat up....im filling up every 4 days

boost = ftl

turns out i get out of work at 6 on monday so Moes is happening

 

Bro that is nothing.

When I had my head gasket broken, I was filling up every two days, premium around $60.00

I was like this for about 2-3 months >.<

 

great.. tommorrow is the homestead show... looks like im going and i know 5 tcs are going and reys xb

 

 

Thank god we don't have 6+ cylinders (well actually the beater I just got is a 6 cylinder, doh!). I think they have more to complain than us =D

Oh yea, and a turbo is actually suppossed to increase your gas mileage, as long as you stay off boost, and keep it in vacuum.
Since its reusing lost energy.

But yea if you drive in boost a lot of time, your mileage is gonna suck.... Bad, LMAO.

Edit: It also depends how good your tune is while off of boost.

 

Yea thats I felt every freaking day sam.

lol

Thats why it took me so long to save up for the head gasket/arp headbolt install.

All my money kept going towards gas.

 

r u still a premium member on here?

 

Hmm.... I know thats the case for a turbocharger, but for a supercharger i'm not sure.

It should be the same, since a supercharger also increases the volumetric efficiency of the engine.

I saw julians spark plugs the other day, and I noticed it was a tad bit rich.

I guess TRD doesn't want any problems and left it running rich, lol. Better rich than lean.

Which makes perfect sense.

If I had a supercharger i'd probably get an FIC or a standalone, and lean it out in vaccuum so I can get better mileage, lol.

 

I think so, lol.

Why do you ask? =D

I cancelled my world of warcraft account, and kept this one, lol.

I can't wait for starcraft II and diablo III to come out >.< !!!!

I don't think i'll be on scionlife as much until i'm tired of those games, HA!

 

hahaha oo

cuz i was a premium member but cancelled cuz i didnt need it.. then again.. i still had that premium member icon... which i dont like very much and i had to ask the techs of this site to take it off..too for ever but i got it off!

 

Yea the premium icon, does look pretty corny.

Some people have a miami winner icon have you seen that one?

I wonder where exactly they had to win to get that one.

 

yea i know what u mean.. and i also dont like how they have preimum member under our icon instead of the team name... ... that sucks

 

I think they should give us a space, to upload our own image of our team name, sort of like we have a space for our avatar image.

But for our team logo/name. Photoshopped of course =D

 

of course lol!




OOOO on another note.. i just noticed if ya put team scion eyed miami on google u'll find all my threads lol!!! cooooool!...
(someone im chatting wit told me.. i was like really ?)

 

Yea TRD does make it run slightly rich, at partial throttle im looking at 14.5-14.9 AFR

Julians should theoritically have been leaned out a bit because of the Intake he's running on his car, but then again I can't find concrete evidence that an intake causes a car to run leaner.

Either way its a _____ to have to fill up every damn 5 days, and I couldn't imagine 60 every 2-3 days, id be fckin Lance Armstrong riding around my damn bike

 

Julians spark plugs had some carbon build up from being rich. When he installed the intake I don't think he swapped out the spark plugs.

So when I saw them they had carbon already. If the intake had made it lean, it would be kind of hard to tell.

I did notice once thing though.

The tip appeared to be white. Which would either mean it had perfect combustion(14.7 afr, and it was self-cleaning like it should be) or that it was running leaner than 14.7

Sorry if I confused anyone, lol. It just struck me a little odd.

I'll have to see if he has a wideband so I can determine it.

 

Black build up = rich
White build up = lean
Brownish = stoich

Julian does not have a wideband. He changed his intake system without upping injectors or changing the reflash, so he should be running a tad leaner technically....

 

hmm.....

back from the Homestead speed way show....it was.. ok.. not too long either..

 

hey checho i spotted your car today @ bestbuy in kendall, do u work there?

i was there with my fellow ambulance co workers playing PS3 lol

 

Yea, i still don't know what was wrong with my spark plugs to begin with. When i swapped them out my car was running much smoother, and got some power back. Im running the pulley and the intake and havn't run into a problem. I kinda wana run a wideband to see what my afr is but ive been running the car now for several thousand miles without an issue, and if i didn't blow it up at the track i don't see it detonating on me now.

BTW, yea gas sucks. Ive had to cut down on how much i was driving.
