How is your mileage so crappy? I used to get 18 with relatively aggressive city driving...

 

Thanks for the responses,

It's on 8psi, all pretty standard stuff.

No wheel hop stephen, It mostly just spins

I am on an fic with 550's

I pm'd elevation, sent him my tune but no reply

My afr's are around 14.7 cruising and dip into the 13 up hills.

And carbonxe, lol you and Brett must be bored as hell.

I am just trying to get this car figured out so that I can drive it like I did before it was turbo'd. I end up car pooling with my gf driving her dodge caliber with the cvt. Mad boring.

Anyways any help appreciated

 

E85 thats why.. 18mpg is highway on e85, aggressive city driving im like 10-12mpg.. when i was on 93 oct im about 27mpg

 

That explains a lot lol.

 

i had major problems getting the car to run properly once the turbo was installed, but eventually, after 2 trips p-tuning, it was running just fine. it still has the odd quirk here and there occasionally, but otherwise it runs great.

biggest factors are driver, quality of parts and quality of installs and then knowledge of how the car and parts operate together.

 

E85 stoichiometric is 10.5:1, while gas is 14.65:1. So cruising around, you are using more fuel due to the properties of the fuel.

Also, a quality install and tune go a long way with any FI car. Regardless of kit producer, I recommend each and every user to get familiar with their car and the parts on it. Get your hood under there once per week for all of 15 minutes and make sure there are no bolts coming undone, make sure clamps look solid, make sure no fluid leaks, no vac lines look poor etc....Simple steps like this prevent lots of headaches.

 

good call paul i do it every saturday morning check everything and anything and you cant stop a issue before its a problem

 

I agree.. even simple visual inspection helps.. i pop my hood at least twice a week and do some turbo kit inspection everytime I change oil around every 2000 miles
