break the auto trans and put in a manual

i was getting 450-460 kms to a tank with the auto
and now get 520-530 kms with the manual

this is based on a fill and drive till it stops test method using the same type of driving through sevral tanks of fuel
i carried a gerry for a few weeks while testing. also replaced the fuel filter as i want to get all the crud out before the efi goes in.

im amazed how much fuel the autos suck, the cars not really much faster or better in 0-60 acceleration, but the pedal travel to hold speed is half of what it was with the auto. and the top end 80kmh + has much better acceleration

And if you get the EFI tune correct, it will be even more economic to run, even driven hard.

i wish it would be, but with low comp, 800cc injectors and 25PSI running E85 i think ill be lucky to get 350-400 kms to a tank.

dude with 800cc injectors and 25psi youll be lucky to get 250kms if you
give it
but hay you will be gigalling like a school girl in love for that 250km

whats to disscuss e85 and e100 suck cant make the same power and
you use way more and it costs about the same

good subject, i disagree stealth
in my case e85 has proven to be safer (more resistant to detonation)and noticeably more go go on the butt dyno
