Dyno Tuning Brisbane | Fuel Economy Vs Performance

EFI Performance - Dyno Tuning Brisbane

We often get asked: "Do I lose fuel economy when I turbo my car?"

Regarding fuel economy, with the V500 which is the system that we use, we have a lot of parameters where you can actually dyno tune the engine and implement to use as much fuel as required when the engine needs it (assuming the injectors and the rest of the fuel system is up to the task) but not use a lot of fuel when the engine doesn't.

So, if you're cruising on a highway at light loads, we tune that part of the fuel map where we can tell the engine how much fuel to consume, and we tune the ignition map for maximum efficiency under this condition also. And we can also do closed-loop feedback from oxygen sensors which will also trim the fueling to have what we specified.

So, we can have richer mixtures to dissipate the heat and protect the engine under full throttle, high boost, etc. Yet, we can have a nice lean mixture on the highway to maintain the fuel economy and good driveability.
