Going Green..............

[H23VTECLUDE]

Trying to think which engine management would be best for something like this....
And would someone look up which obd2a civic model got the best gas milage. I imagine it would have been the VX model.Actually thinking about swapping in a civic engine in the teg shell. Would be sick.

The VX was an OBD1 car. The most fuel economic OBD2a car would have to be the Civic HX with the CVT trans., EGR, & VTEC-E. I know I recently read an article in honda tuning, or sport compact car that had a "Going Green" article. They got a 97 Integra LS to run something like 42mpg, while gaining like 10-18hp, it was crazy. If I find the article I'll post it up.

try using the gameboy advanced sp for tuning. It should give you all the numbers u want for less than 150 bucks.

A GBA???? Does anyone ever heard of this? How do you get it to do that?

Turbo your car and profit. Seriously. The hard part is going to be not punching it. I know of several people who also have built d series all motor engines putting out 42 mpg. I want to try to build an 8 valve with extremely good crankcase ventilation and a small turbo to see what I can get out of it.

Keys to mpg
Light weight
Spending less time accelerating
The easier it is to get up to speed and STAY THERE with low throttle angles to more mpg you will get. And a good tune by someone who knows what they are doing (must understand the combustion process throughly to tune for mpg).

i have tried hydrogen in my van and i can only get 4 mpg more..so now i can 28mpg..but im still working on it...and its easy to get any MPG gain because while im cuirsing at 70-80 mph im only at 1700RPM so at low rpm its easy to see MPG boost

i know there was a guy on H-T that had a vx that was modifing it to higher fuel milage!

the hardest part about tring to get hi mpg is driving like a old lady :rolleyes:

Agree...

I know some guy on H-T did it with his honda and average mpg and all that.. if i find it ill post it up
