Assume I had too much fuel turned into it and driving at 3K in 5th for long distances was 10psi on the gauge with a T2 and getting the 30-35mpg.
Flooring it the peak on the guage was 20psi by 3K. I like flooring it. I grew up with VTEC. It's a habit.
That's what was killing the MPG. Doing local journeys or low ave speeds it was fine and getting 40's.
But I need to cruise at high speed, so I'm clearly in need of a higher rolling radius and/or a HDi box.
Plus backing off the fuelling a little as it was far too much fun and coaling with ease.
And I probably do not drive with mechanical sympathy, but then if it's capable of spinning up the turbo by 2K with coal, then TBH I'm happy driving it that way.
Too used to the DI with VNT.
I'll change my tune when I start monitoring things and realise the EGT's are too high. Tell then I'll find limits the dumb way.
I've often had low MPG in whatever I drive compared to some that own the same car.
So either I'm driving much faster and more aggressively that others, my cars have always had problems
or some people exaggerate.
