Taurus modder
 

Hey All,

Dig the site, tons of excellent information.

Joined to see how far I can stretch a tank on some basic mods, and beyond!

Looking for some tips from other large sedan/Ford Taurus owners on mods specific to our cars.

I really need help with my city MPG. Any Taurus owners ever try a kill switch or cylinder deactivation?

Thanks for the help,

Welcome to EM.
The best way to increase your city mpg would be turning the engine off at red lights if over 8 secs is how i do it. clean the weight out as startin and stoppin with extra weight hurts.

my experience w/ a taurus several yrs ago were discouraging. It didnt drop the rpms when shifting into neutral to coast.

I always raise the psi to 40+ on my vehicles.

I have several threads on my 2002 Infiniti Q45 Sport. But I was a road warrior and my savings came on the road at cruise. I just drove easy in town knowing that it wasnt going to make just a really big difference.

Also you need a gauge.
see the first ling in my sig.

I've got an Ultra Gauge installed and really like the immediate feedback I get from it. My car has only 54 of the possible 80 gauges enabled, but that's plenty for me.

Also have a partial lower grill block I'm testing out to make sure I won't have any overheating issues.

Your DIY on underbody panels looks like the direction I'm heading in next. My rear bumper looks like it scoops alot of air, I should be able to clean it up a bit. If I can't seal or panel the underbody from the rear wheels back, I may give my rear bumper cover some 'vents' to let the trapped air pass through.

Gonna air up to 40psi all around & see what happens.

Thanks for the advice-

Wrong. Don't go there.

agreed with frank dont ever put holes for air anywhere on stock body pieces, just add a belly pan from the rear suspension back
