fuel economy vs hp/torq
Hey guys
I’m shore this question is asked alot and the different answers and ideas are thrown around alot How can I get the most fuel economy wail maintaining maximum over all hp/torque. I’m looking in to gauges now and I read this article 1993 Dodge W250 - Cummins Diesel Engine - Diesel Power Magazine I plan on keeping the VE, I’m open to all ideas and suggestions Thanks |
The best combo Ive encountered is stock injectors, 4" exhaust, 3" intake tubes, intake, 16 cm housing, 56mm comp wheel, and a couple turns on the fuel screw. With this setup I can keep up with the new trucks and still get 21-24 mpg all day long.

Your truck is it stick min is an auto. 518 I understand that it does mean alot but this is the card I was dealt.
"16 cm housing, 56mm comp wheel" you’re talking about the turbo right. |
Yes those are the measurements of the compressor wheel and turbine housing. Since you have an auto getting a good torque converter would be a good first step to better mpg.

i just read this article and my only comment is holy S#$% i like:tu::tu::yeah:
|
Theirs a guy out there or in here calls huntinguy I think? It’s saved on another computer but he’s put a vgturbo off a 6.0 ford on an 89 or 90 1st gen it’s cool, deferent, and a challenge for another day. In the same thought a 2nd gen turbo for the small turbo in a twin setup is that sound like a good start and do they help mpg?:humm:
|
can you use a sec gen turbo to fuel a stock hc1 turbo in a twin set up? cus that would make twins on mine fairly easy since i have a sec gen turbo handy i cant remember what the sec gen turbo is at the moment but if it would work that would save me alot of time and money

figures :argh::ouch: haha thanks

I read recently about a guy that put twins on his truck and his mileage dropped to 18-19 mpg. I would think a vgt turbo off a 6.7 would be the best for mpg. It can spool almost instantly and becomes less restrictive at higher rpm.
