Thumbs up New record tank!!

Sorry this thread has been one of the slowest on the bored, but I have some new pictures and results!!!

on my trip to the GF's family for thanksgiving i decided to test the milage of my car (as all ecomodders do) and BOOM!!!!! 265.2 miles on 5.192 galons of gas. 51.08 MPG!!!!

I know it is not amazing according to ecomodder standards...however, I averaged 70mph and had a 8-12 mph head wind. (NWS readings and from my own anemometer) the temp was 40-55f.

I am happy with the results.

I also installed a partial grill block, air dam, vacuum gauge and painted my kammback.

here is the hot air box. it is made of cardboard, coated in Kevlar and resin on one side and spray flex seal on the other.




here is a side view of the kammback




the motor, a jdm d15b vtec




And the vacuum gauge


I would like to add, that this vtec is not the vtec-e, nor is it lean burn.
Infact the chip it is running on is the stock bacemap for the d16z6. it runs a little rich right now (enough to smell it in the car when stoped) , so once i can burn a new chip I expect a major improvement on milage

Hope y'all like the update
