Re: Anyone able to keep stock mpg after turbo?
 

I gained 3-6mpg with my turbo.

I was running closed loop.

Re: Anyone able to keep stock mpg after turbo?
 

driveing habit is what does it.. my hatch with an H22 gets an average of 27 mpg with the way i drive.. but three months ago i drove from oregon to nebraska with my family and got 47.3 MPG, never went over 60 and almost never passed anyone

even my eagle talon that was boosting 21 psi i got almost 30 MPG because i'd keep it out of boost most of the time (after the first two weeks of being boost happy of course, lol)

---- i get horrible gas milage in the GSR (100% stock B17A1) like 23mpg... in my old turbo LSVTEC CRX i was getting like 27mpg, but my roommate says that i told him i got 32mpg once (i dont remember)...

Re: Anyone able to keep stock mpg after turbo?
 

35mpg to a high of like 38mpg N/A. Then turbo I got around 34-35mpg. Winter gas has me at 29-30mpg :(

Re: Anyone able to keep stock mpg after turbo?
 

i know the cost of gas shouldn't be a problem, but if your motor is burning more than it needs, that means it is ineffecient.
and i know tuning is the key, to keep the setup and alive and not blowing up to begin with.
what about partial thottle tuning? or other type of tuning?

does the size of the turbo matter? should i chose the turbo size to allow me to get mid-high boost or topend boost?
say for a b18b, redline is 6800, would 4k - redline consider topend boost or mid-high? what if i get shift the boost earlier to 3k - 6k? then i'd be in boost quite often...

what's the optimal/ideal rpm to have it boost for a daily drive?

edit: also, i think mpg should be consider too, i mean i wanna make a HMT for my car, because i want to save some $ by doing it myself in the first place. so i'd like to do it right and get good mpg out of it, rather than something like 17mpg...

Re: Anyone able to keep stock mpg after turbo?
 

i'm gettin pretty much the same mpg after i went turbo. that is, as long as i don't beat the piss out of it constantly. just run a chipped ecu w/ uberdata or crome, and tune out of boost a little lean.

Re: Anyone able to keep stock mpg after turbo?
 

Yeah I got about the same when I boosted but we had a week when it was really cold and I only got 250 miles on my tank. I usually get about 300-320. D16z6 in a crx. not bad about as good as my stock d15. Haven't taken it on a long trip yet. I will see when I got to wyoming.

Re: Anyone able to keep stock mpg after turbo?
 

yep, its not that hard to get good mpg.


also not flooring it all the time helps...i have a problem with that :)
