    Thread: Correct Air/fuel ratio

      Correct Air/fuel ratio

      How could you check air/fuel ratio? I mean, I'd like to see what would be the most adequate type of air intake for my exhaust.

      Before I changed my Exhaust, I was getting 380kms(236 miles) per tank.
      After the exhaust, I'am getting 325kms(302miles) per tank.

      I was using a K&N filter.

      Right now I'm trying the regular paper filter and it's not looking good in terms of mileage. (Note: I'm not doing mods solely for mileage).

      Could people post or PM me what mileage they're getting with mods?

      PS. my exhaust is 2" from the flange back with 2 hi-flow flowmaster resonators and a magnaflow muffler.

      I'm far from that many mods.

      But how many miles on a tank on average?

      from what i know the ratings for mileage are different from the usa and canada.

      i didn't want this to be an endless mileage post.

      how could i check to see if i have the best air/fuel ratio?

      use an air/fuel meter?
      Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far the wall moves after you hit it.

      how can you tell i'm not a mechanic.

      could one of those hypertech or superchips computer programmers be used to help in the air/fuel ratio?

      Not familiar with the specific products you're talking about, but adjusting the fuel maps on the ECU will be able to change the ratio... (a fuel map is basically an instruction manual... for X amount of air, add Y amount of fuel)

      But of course that all depends on how I'm driving
