BlackGMC build take 2 - Turbo Time
#541
With my deka 60s i get 15-16 mixed driving.
Maybe big injectors just get bad mpg. I dunno.
Also thinking back. I dont think i was running that much timing at part throttle/cruise as i am running now. Maybe that was the issue.

It is not the steady state that kills mpg it is the transitions. At least from my observations.
Previously when i was NA i had some regular marine injectors. I got like 15-16 mpg. Then i got some better settings for them and i was getting 18-19. Then i switched to the turbo with the fic injectors and i got 10-12.

I log calculated MPG via EFI live, and the mileage loss is certainly at steady state as well. I'm really wondering if I could get some better injector data for the 1000s. For example, the injectors are listed as 103 lb/hr on the FIC website at 58 psi, yet in the tuning data they send the IFR is listed as 114 lb/hr.

I am going to be going through this same thing then. I just got FIC1000's for my project and was going to use the data with them. I didn't think the ID's were worth the extra $200-$300, but maybe they are.
I will post back when I get everything together to let you all know my results. I was not expecting too much in the way of MPG anyways, I mean it will be a 408 with 15psi and not a DD.

Yeah who knows if the IDs are worth it but i am gonna give them a try. Might end up being a waste of money. If so oh well wont be the first time i have wasted money on the truck and i am sure it wont be the last. Wasting money is just what i do apparently.
Now my obsession with AN fittings has cross the line to waste to down right out retardedness. But once again that is just what i do.
