Its the Misfit Talon.
I'm running a 2.0L 4G63 Mitsubishi.
Its AWD auto so there is a ton of drivetrain loss. The best tank is 47mpg. The average is 43 mpg.
The engine is highly modified. Some of the mods.
Modified 1g turbo pistons, spray-guided crown
Ultra Lean Burn system.
Modified head, spray-guided high heat direct port.
Custom camshafts.
Single Intake Valve for Swirl improve combustion.
Intake manifold, high heat direct port w/adjustable port angle injection.
I'm using the turbo for the heat source to help atomize the fuel. Also I have experimented with heated EGR and cold EGR.
One other thing I have been doing for the last few months is using "auto paint waste solvent" as a bio-fuel. This lowers my fuel mileage by a couple mpg do to the high amounts of acetone.
The car is a dual purpose vehicle Race/FE. So when I race it I remove all the FE items. Then it is more like a conventional race engine.
