Ok I guess my car is normal, its just a gas hog. I've heard a lot about letting this kind of car warm up. I'll try cutting it down. As far as the turbo timer I sometimes put it at 2:30 if I was on a short drive in town. On longer drives or after highway driving I set it for 5 minutes. I also was told to set my timer longer. This person drives some boosted old Camaro. Thanks for all the input. I'm still new to the rotery and turbo world. I bought my 7 this past June. I upgraded from a slightly modded Integra. So I'm still learning and will still have more questions. Thanks.

set it shorter, turbo timers are for cars without water cooled turbos, 30seconds is plenty

I've got a haltech (self tuned), single FD. I just took a 550mile road trip and got 18mpg...and I was GETTIN' IT pretty much the entire way https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

550/1600 base pressure 38psi.

yah here in FL, beating the living crap outta my car at the autocross and street, as well as some daily city/highway driving i avg about 19-20mpg.

Weird! Both my 93 & 94 Tourings get 18 city & 24 highway. Must be the thin air?

i get about 320-340 on a full tank

i know cause i drove from socal to the bay area with one full tank off gas

change your o2 sensor man, weight of oil, make sure u have the correct tire pressure

are u boosting right??? 10-8-10
