SR20DAZE Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 If you tune for it you will actually increase performance. Ethanol has a higher octane so you can bump up timing and such. What do you have done that you are getting under 10 mpg? Only throttle body, intake manifold, x-pipe and a very aggressive tune. I get over 20mpg on the freeway at 100mph(cruise control), but around town, forget about it. if its tuned agressive why not try to do two maps on the ecu. idk if you can on mustans, i know on some cars you can. if not get a map that is agressive at a certain rpm band that you use on the freeway. like 4.8-7k rpm or so. but have them try to make it a smooth spike instead of slooow.............4.8k powaaaaaahhh. Hahah damn cody She ain't that sexy. I wouldn't even let her blow me.

SR20DAZE Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 I build a ''go fast'' car I will be doing an e85 tune ethanol is alcohol, alcohol burns cleaner and makes more power, that is why you see methanol cars and other alcohol based drag cars or this, but idk how hard it is to find e85 where you are located Hahah damn cody She ain't that sexy.

Nope, no piggybacking. Mustangs suck for mileage in the city. Scared to see what happens next year when te warranty runs out and the SC goes on. 5-6 mpg? SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
D-train-13k Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 i hate the ethanol. i get 8 mpg in the city and 12 on the freeway. but i hate that the ethanol boils in my fuel rails when i turn my truck off on a hot day. so at start up it feels like my engine is wanting to crap out on me The IrishmanCheck out my build hereXL 4th order wall build logIn Progress:alpine cda HU4th order Bandpass2xl 15's1- ab 400.1 (gonna be two hopefully)4- Crescendo 8's2- xts crecendo supertweeters 2 sq super tweetsMb quart 4.125Mechman 270a alt1- xs D27003- xs XP3000 4- odessey pc1700seller feed back threadhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/136418-d-train-13k/
korey_hofer Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 e85 is 15% gasoline it burns cooler and is better for your car actually. I'd suggest redoing all your filters if you switch though previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme. I talk shit on other forums like a little bitch and hope i don't get caught out on the street.

korey_hofer Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 worse than gas motors, but it's cheaper so evens out. at least here it does previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme.

Nope, no piggybacking. Mustangs suck for mileage in the city. Scared to see what happens next year when te warranty runs out and the SC goes on. 5-6 mpg? since you are getting a sc i would just do a conservative map on the ecu, we did that on a car we turboed, of course its faster cause you are forcing more air and fuel in,but if you have whoever tunes it for you to have the injectors to not use as much fuel as a agressive map, depending on the ignition and fuel set in the cells of the map the car should still haul ass but be good on gas when driving normaly Hahah damn cody She ain't that sexy.

korey_hofer Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 I would be careful about pulling fuel on a high compression SC motor, detonation from running lean would suck. you live in a good place with a ton of good tuners though previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme.
