also I notice that LNF cam rollers are always scored compared to LSJ ones...ditto the cam lobes...not sure what that means.

Tjolley

Ok the reason i was thinkin about the studs cuz ray bates told me to get rid of the stock ones.
Ya they r a lil scored but they turn just fine and look fine.

Tjolley

Lil fun on the way to work. Cant wait to get a 2.5 pulley back on my car. Moboost!!!!

33.6 mpg on E? What kind of witchcraft is this???

100% METH

iTrader: (3)

he must of just reset his MPG calculator before filming :P

Tjolley

I did just reset it wen i filled my tank.

I get about 27-29mpg on e
I drive 200 miles a day. 190 is strictly freway with the cruze set at 65-70mph
Other wise it sucks it down in town think my in town is like 19-20

Tjolley

Oh and thanks steve for the pointer made dialing in those 80s easy. Car runs great. My trims r within +/- 2% now

no problemo

I am on 80's as well. You have your injectors scaled; your mpg will never be right. I get 20mpg (80hwy/20city) on E and my car always reads 30.1-30.9 mpg. Any injectors scaled in the tune will never read right on your car again. In fact if you do the 20 divided into 30 you will see the 66 percent error. So that leads your car to read the other 33 percent (one third) higher in the mpg calculations on your dash display.

Tjolley

I know that. I do the math at the pump lol. Ive never went of wat the car says. **** theres times were it reads 50+
I drive 200 miles a day burn around 6.9-7.2 gallons each trip. Depending on traffic.

Tjolley

I keep a log book of all my fuel stops and maintenance.

Oh and i might have to rebuild the engine in my cavalier now. Cuz i think it developed a rod knock the other day. Lol fun stuff i put a new head on it and this is wat i get lol. Fml

I figured you got the 20mpg from doing the math, didnt say you didnt, just sharing some observations of my setup on E and I hate having things not work as OEM but I guess I can live with a wrong mpg reading. I dialed my tire size into the tenth in HPtuners so it reads exactly to gps. OCD much?

Tjolley

Yep..just wondering how my 2.4 will do. Im gona try and stick with the 80s and bump up the fuel pressure if i have to.

c130aviator

iTrader: (8)

this is where I am, on stock fuel system alone (lsj) with 80's I ran out of fuel at 22-23 psi on E. Which is really amazing.

our system is 58-60 psi. I want to bump this up with nothing more than a brfps from zzp to see what more I can do with my 20g but its on the back burner as I have other mods I want to finish like exterior and suspension stuff.

Tjolley

Ya i have a zzp brfs
And a aem 340lph fuel pump. (works well and is only 100$ from summit racing. And theres no major mods needed. Just cut the stock fuel hose from the pump to the lid on the canister and put on the one they supplied with the pump done deal. It even plugs into the factory harness.)
