i know this has been discussed before but anyways....

MPG or miles per tank for you turbocharged and supercharged people.

please state your driving style, how many lbs boost, and supercharged or turbocharged


me
95 Max, 370cc injectors, some hard driving some freeway. i get around 200-260 miles per tank.

 

270 is average on my car with about 8-9 psi. and the vortech stock FMU disc

 

190-230, depends on how bad of a reoccurance of lead foot disease that I have. Generally I boost once a week, but I'm running rich without the fpr... I'm hitting 10-11 lbs of boost with the 8:1

 

2.87" SC pulley (11 psi) with 8:1 FMU disc, -1X% on the AFC from 3000+ RPM, and 80/20 mixture for water/methanol injection. WOT at least 5 times (> 4 seconds) on freeway to and from work.

300 miles before the light turns on.

 

I get about 23 mpg. Using stock injectors, mostly highway driving ( sometimes spirited ) 9 psi of boost.

 

I get about 300 to the tank full... Running SC on a 3.33 pulley.. I beat the crap out of car when I drive too. But it's like 75% highway miles.. Maybe that's why my tranny blew today

 

 

Wow, I did not think it was that much of a loss...I am getting 350 before the SC installation...and did not expect to go below 300 in worse case scenario, unkess you mean to.

 

yeah maybe if you keep the rpms really low, it's possible.. but who the hell dishes out 4 grand to keep the rpms below 4000?...

 

2000 SC automatic with 3.33, 8:1FMU, stock injector.
80% highway driving.....I boost about 2x a day.

320 per tank....avg. 22 mpg.

 

boost 2x a day?... how's ur tranny holdin up

 

2 times a day is not that much...IMO most of the time, I boost from 3rd - 4th. I rarely (about 3 times since SC isntall) boost from dead stop.


my tranny? she's moody and every month she will change from soft smooth shifting to butt-kicking hard shifting.

 

You know how to change that!!!

 

you mean to my tranny?? Or install a switch at the drop resistor?

seriously....I still try to find out why. It shifted like a beast for a week or so and then she will turn back to the usual. PMS for tranny???

btw, how's ur new tranny?

 

Im talking about a 5spd swap!!!

and Heres how my new auto is doing

 

oh~ that....


I dunno how to do it :-( hopefully when the time I have to do this, I will be able to DIY and with some help from a friend or two.


auto tranny


oh god....let her live.

 

SC with stock pulley and FMU (12:1 I think). Boost a few times a week, around 5 seconds each, at 4.5 psi. 230-270 MPG.
