my gas mileage sucks
 
ok, just went turbo a month or so ago, and I do most of my driving in town, a little highway, I used to get 27-28 in town, now i'm at 22-23mpg, ouch. I have a d16z6, S-AFC,t25, and 450 injectors. I havn't had a chance to do just highway but it used to be 36-39mpg.

Maybe if you went with a 330cc injectors...? ???
Usually, you don't have to push so much gas for a smaller turbo... right?

that isnt really that bad, but it could be better. do you have a wideband?

post your afc settings and be honest about how much you are boosting. I know when I boost a lot around town I only get about 25mpg out of my 99 Y7. You may need to lean out the 450's a bit, or lean off the gas a bit

yes, my friend has a wide band, we tuned it and just cruising around i'm almost at a perfect 14.7, and when I boost im at like 11.5-12 (in WOT)

ubderdata will increase your milage because it is way more accurate then the afc.
