FINGERS CROSSED!!!!

My goal isn't to hit 200 tho. I want a safe and reliable DD, but with some extra beans.

I'm pretty sure I won't be able to hit 200 since 310cc injectors and stock fuel pump pretty much stop at that mark..

maybe by accident we'll hit it, if the AFRs are still safe at that mark then I will have them tune it to that, but I am pretty skeptical that I will.

me and my tuner think 200 is possible, but not with stock fuel pump yeefit on a good tune yull be right there with me 170ish, good luck bro

Ya, I don't intend to go over or want to hit 200whp. I think the L15A motor is good, but once you start needing to replace things like fuel pumps, pistons, and so on it becomes a different aspect to the tuning of our cars.. Kinda like how that 1 guy on the forum showed that he was making +300whp in his car overseas... Not sure it was real, but he had to rebuild the motor from scratch.

I just want the most I can get within the limits of the stock internals. Maybe, just maybe, one day I can make my Fit my "hobbie" car and I will explore that possibility, but at this point in my life, I still want a reliable DD.

I hope to get between 170-190whp. I pulled 156whp on a mustang dyno which would be in the high 160s on a dynojet with the stock base 6psi map... I'll be happy with whatever I can get, I just want it properly tuned so I can start driving it without being paranoid.

And once my new mounts and clutch are in, I'll be able to really push the car...

just out of curiousity what are you turboed guys getting for fuel economy if you even measure that type of thing.

BlueCell · #**169** (**permalink**) 11-12-2008, 11:12 PM

just do this, take your mpg and take away 2% and thats what we're getting

kylerwho · #**170** (**permalink**) 11-12-2008, 11:14 PM

so i would be getting roughly 38? i have been getting 39-41 mpg regularly. i think i will wait and see how gas prices do over this summer before running a turbo setup.

BlueCell · #**171** (**permalink**) 11-12-2008, 11:17 PM

If that's how you drive then it can be. But beings if you are like me and drive with a lot of throttle, then no. I used to get about 30-32mpg, but now its like 28-30mpg. Long highway miles were the same at 33-34mpg.

BlueCell · #**172** (**permalink**) 11-12-2008, 11:26 PM

Oops I meant to say about up to 10% drop not 2% silly me.

who cars....if u want it to go fast with turbo or SC...MPG shouldn't even be in the question...i barely get 300km a take with my turbo set up boosting at 0.6bar

BlueCell · #**174** (**permalink**) 11-12-2008, 11:34 PM

Thats pretty bad Felix. I mean wow, really low at roughly 21mpg?

Wow... that's terrible.. I'm getting around 430km per tank at 7.5psi.

FELIXY69 · #**176** (**permalink**) 11-13-2008, 03:36 AM

i heard bens car gets around the same as mine too...keep in mind that mine is AT so it will eat more gas from the gear box

xorbe · #**177** (**permalink**) 11-13-2008, 04:36 AM

felix' right foot must be attached to the floor board!

explosivpotato · #**178** (**permalink**) 11-13-2008, 07:41 PM

Seriously! I get ~38-42 on the highway depending on speed, and 34-36 combined. I'm really happy with my mileage!

Soo.... YeeFit.... UPDATES? Wasn't today the day!?

He's probably out driving around right now...

BlueCell · #**179** (**permalink**) 11-13-2008, 07:47 PM

Isn't he? probably enjoying that boost

YeeFit · #**180** (**permalink**) 11-13-2008, 07:53 PM

Fawk Me... Well my dyno tuning day was a disaster...

I baselined and ran my car today. The dynojet said my car hit 5.7psi of boost. I put down 170.40hp/167.86ft lb to the wheels. 12.9AFR.

I didn't get a chance to increase the boost to my desired levels because the tuning shop I was at was having troubles tuning the emanage. For some reason my car was idling at 12.0AFR... much too rich. Each time they tried to lean it out at idle, it would go up to about 15.5AFR for about 30 seconds and then it would drop back down to 12.0AFR. They said the stock ECU was trying to take over and block out the emanage.

I didn't really understand this.. but all i know is that $400 later I still don't have my car properly tuned and boosting the level that I want to.

The place I went to is an HKS Pro Dealer. But they also sell GReddy there as well. They came to a conclusion that the only way to properly get the car tuned and running good is to take out my emanage ultimate and install an Fcon.

I wasn't watching what he was doing while he was tuning it on my laptop, but could it be something as simple as having to actually load in the adjustments to the emanage, vs. just changing the number and expecting it to load itself??

I dunno.. I wasn't too happy.. the numbers were good considering the boost I was actually putting out, but the rest of it was very frustrating.

Is 12.0AFR at idle that bad? Will I damage something?

Can someone else with the T1R kit please chime in and let me know what your experience is with your AFRs? And what can be done to change the AFRs at idle and keep it there? The last thing I want to do it have to spend another grand on the Fcon and harness...
