Bad MPGs?

[Danny]

I forget what he said, but it made sense when he explained it. I'll call TRM Monday and ask.

[CHITTY]

I just dropped off my car to have the A/C put in and my friend said he thinks its the tune, he thinks TRM sent me the tune for 24lb/hr injectors instead of 21.5lb/hr injectors and that's why there is a check engine light at high rpms.

Hey Danny, who in the bay area is making your A/C lines for you. I need to get lines made up for my car.

I also have a very similar set up as your motor but I am running a zf trans, gas mileage doesnt seem to bad (about the same fill ups as my m20 for my commute), but my odometer stoped working so I have no real MPG as of yet.

Hey Greg, Milt's Service Garage in Vallejo is doing them for me.

Cool, I use to work with Adrian, I'll have to give him a call. I was thinking of ordering a set from Zionsville, but the out of stock and price turned me off from them.

Did you find your missing mpg, Danny?

[Danny]

Not quite yet. I think a new tune from TRM using the stock MAF may have helped a bit however.

[nando]

there's no point to the bigger MAF, anyway.

[328ijunkie]

^That.

[MMontero]

E36 M50B25tu , 3.15 , stock 18mpg

is that bad mpg ?

[nando]

yes, realistically a stock OBDII 325/328 should get high 20's low 30's.

[Danny]

Okay so I need to get to the bottom of this ASAP. Anyone have the specs for ohms for the Cam, O2, Coolant temp, and any of sensors that could affect fuel trim?

[LowR3V'in]

Offtopic but just thought is would be interesting to some.

I used to get 300miles to the tank on my eta.
I now get 160miles per tank on my turbo m30.

If you're getting 300mpt on a bolt on s50 I think it's pretty damn GOOD!

[Danny]

I'm not though. I get around 180 to 3/4 of a tank. So figure 240 MPT.

[nando]

I'm pretty sure even a modded S50 should get more than ~18mpg.

[Danny]

That's why I need to start trouble shooting sensors.
