Thread: garbage gas milage

Ever since April when I finished my swap I have been getting less then stellar MPG. If I am lucky I can squeeze 100 miles out of a half a tank. I am running my VE with the DE ECU still but Ive heard of guys getting some really good milage out of there cars.

Also is my timing way to high because its set at 20 degrees I believe. Again its a DE distributor. Thanks

modification are
DE ECU
Timing 20 degrees
Blox 3" velocity stack
3" intake
3" exhaust
SSAC 2" header

Well there it is .

If you are running a DE ECU which controls 259cc injs and the VE has 333cc injs the car is running 1/3 richer than it should. Thats it you did not change the 259cc injs over.

That makes sense. I have the VE injectors in. So the timing being that advanced effecting things as well?

fix the obvious problem first, then drive the car around and see where your at. if you try and do 2 and 3 things at a time you will never know if you made improvements

Dude just swap in de injectors for now. you ve will run a ton better and your gas mileage will increase a ton. try to find someone with a tuned be ecu. I'm sure dre can find you one. he is like a parts master lol

Simple solution has been told. If you want to do it right, get it tuned! You will be just throwing money on gas instead of getting it tuned...

I will be putting in the DE injectors today.

Tune will be the next step once I get the Nismotronic board.

Don't forget to put the 333cc injs back in when you tune the car with the Nismotronic board. Also please get a 3in 95-99 Maxima MAF. The VE will thank you for it.

I have n60 MAF on the garage floor. Also a VE MAF. Which one do you think I should stick with?
