Gas Mileage with Turbo?

[Zx2fst]

I don't know if this has been asked, I can't find anything.

But what is everyone getting MPG wise, with their turbos? And what is your boost set at?

[jeffescortlx]

It depends on how well you can keep your foot out of it. If you dont boost it's no different then stock.

That looks like a China turbo in your sig, how's that worken out for ya?

I have been getting around 33 highway and 27 city. That's minimal boosting of course. But I also have cams and the sedan transmission. So you should not expect the same numbers.

^^Agreed, off the boost and just like stock, I've seen even better. On the gas...well you can watch the fuel gauge just go down.

I can vouch for that. 16mpg on a ZX2 4tw.

I get around 16-22 in town depending on how many ricers rev at me. I easily get 32-33 on the highway with the windows up and about 30 highway with the windows down. It is nice not having to downshift to pass someone.

[Zx2fst]

ok that sounds good. I'm not getting that best of mileage off the gas though. but I'm still working out all the bugs too.

What do you have for tuning? Get a wide band on it?

[Zx2fst]

I have a wide band, and I'm using Sniper Tuning, with just fuel tuned as of right now. I still need to tune it further. Just havn't found anywhere around close to tune the car.

[ZX2Fast]

Sniper tuning? Umm, so you do have a spare car to drive, right?

[Zx2fst]

yea, but I've been going for almost a year with it, no problems. The car has some dyno time. but not as much as it needs. car runs fine

20-30 mpg with my setup on average, depending on how much I thrash it. Of course, with premium fuel your return is a little bit less.
