Hey neone here notice the difference in MPG when they got their SC...how much difference does it make? because I am getting ready to install it but with gas prices blown out like *** I am still debating on it..

 

 

WHy would it be the wrong forum ??????

Kinda a simple ? , But in the right place

MPG will go down .

 

I moved it here. It was in general, like half the posts that end up in this part of the neighborhood

 

If you have to ask....

 

It'll go down, but not significantly if you leave it at stock boost. My car gets about 29-31 mpg on the freeway where it used to get 31-32. Changing to 3.5 gear will probably help that out a little too. Probably doesn't help that I have a bunch of stereo equipment in the back too.

 

Exactly! When you go FI just accept the **** raping at the pump.

 

With a vacuum bypass an eaton SC should freewheel at cruising speed so there should be a minimal penalty while cruising at legal speeds. On the other hand if you have your foot into it, the MPG is going DOWN, DOWN, DOWN

 

Main thing is keep ur foot out of it ----If ur boost gage is showin 15-20 inches u be pretty coo. Get ur foot in it ----Pay before u pump!!!!!!

 

Watch out who you say that to. I got in a few arguments with TN ST owners who claimed their gas mileage went up... I tried to tell them that since they changed their injectors the reading was going to be messed up on the Z's mpg display but they swore that the turbo was such an effiecent system that their gas mileage was improved. I guess environmentalist should start driving 400whp cars to save the planet.

 

yeah I'm actually thinking my MPG readings have improved, but I can tell I'm filling up more often

 

if you changed ur injectors the stock mpg meter is off no?

 

No way that is possible. My mpg went way down.

 

How on earth are you getting that mpg, I can't get that on a stock motor. Whats your secret? I'm at 26 at best.

 

May be right due to more efficient adomization of the fuel---I never trusted and never use the MPG puter---I really need to do the old school ciphering soon ---Got me curious now

 

I get 32 mpg with my crappy mods...

 

freeway that is

 

Driving freeways at 60-65 mph instead of 70-80mph helps heh. My car at 70mph is at 2600-2700 rpm so I'm thinking I have the 3.5 AT gears also.

 

did you change your injectors?

 

Yes but that really has little to do with it. Think about it... You are forcing a lot more air in and therefore fuel. There is no way in hell your mph is going to go up.
