What kind of efficiency do you guys have? Do give you an example... what HP do you make, and what's your MPG like? Do you have a good enough setup where you're not guzzling gas? How's your idle? What kind of plugs? Any cooling mods such as water injection or the nitrous intercooler sprayer?

I think we need a thread to show what mods have not only been helping power, but have also been contributing to make the care a more reliable, fuel efficient machine.

My setups is of course the Dezod T.E.A. turbo kit, with the blue emanage. I'm running IK22s for my spark plugs with the Apexi AVC-R digital boost controller.

8psi made 255WHP, 260WTQ. 10.8 psi made 295WHP, 302WTQ.
Driving off the dyno and around town... My last tank of gas I got just shy of 300 miles on the tank. Doing the little math trick to calculate MPG, I got 25.5. Yes I do a mix of city and highway. The regular roads have a speed limit (here in AZ) of 40mph, and the highway between 55-65 for the ones I run on. It's about 110 avg here right now.

What's you're efficiecy? Have you had successful attempts to increase power without decreasing efficiency, or attempts to increase efficiency without decreasing power? Let's help every one out and get some really reliable machines out there.

Note: I will be installing the Spearco water injection system and the Nitrous Express intercooloer system. Hopefully that makes it even better.

 

Yeah I think we are really poised to make some safe reliable power and also keep it very mild in terms of wear on any other components. We will provide excellent unparalled responses and solutions to over coming the intense summer heat in some areas of the country. We will help you preserve your boosted tC.

 

Only for boosted tCs?

 

I suppose you could talk about anything here seeing how I got such a limited (zero) response. This is an FI forum so I'm not sure how much that'd be on topic, but maybe the turbo guys here will start postin up.

 

I better just post for bumping, I don't think I can help too much on this topic. FI GUYS! whats going on!?

 

Well, for what its worth, I am getting anywhere from 25-29 mpg with the TRD SC.

I have had the SC on for over three months and other than suspension and injen catback, no other mods. I have driven in both city and highway conditions and continue to be amazed at the mpg.

I'd love to get another 50 whp out of the tC, but it is running so well now... with great mileage... and no issues... I do not think it is worth it. Maybe when I am out of warranty.

 

I think I'm getting 10 mpg. I'm wot alot of the time 9.5 psi 10.5-11.5 afr. I would say that is fairly efficient.

 

Wow you guys must drive very conservatively cuz I dont even get that good of gas milage and i'm not FI. At least I dont think i'm getting that good.

 

10 MPG ???

 

im avgin about 22-25mpg...zpi stage 1/ngk plugs/ afr of 11:4...a/t

 

I let it roll with a touch of pedal otherwise wot. Otherwise u will be running high boost with a high afr. Cant tune partial throttle very wel with drive by wire.

 

11.4 afr at all times.

 

no under full boost....going into boosto its in 13s crusing its around 14.8-15.2

 

How many miles do u drive a month.

 

well latley it hasnt been much i have a busted axle but usualyl about 1500-1700 a month

 

Nice longevity. good to hear. I only drive afew miles a day. I train.

 

I drive 20 miles round trip to work some times more if i have to go to a differnt center. plus if i need to pick up eqiup...and this is mostly city traffic...i drive very lil hwy.

 

What happened to your axcel. I do not remember reading about it in your saga threads.
