This is nothing. I had a 1995 Toyota Corolla that I modded and it was getting 46.7mpg (52.1 if I drove 65) cruising @ 80+mph on the highway and 31.2 in the city. I did it all on an engine that had over 100k miles on it. I never had to crack the seals or pull the head. I didn't even have to modify the ECU's MAP program (which is what's wrong with your computer). You're on the right track but riding the wrong train, Indianchief741. But good luck to you! Hope you break the 50mpg barrier, I did!

@DrGoodwrench64 First I had a problem with the engine before i even started with this project, thats why it came apart, watch the video sobber, I explained that, I'm getting 32 mpg with it right now, and ya it's not even close to done, but good enough for me, I just never got around to doing another vid on it, should really let my fans know, drive it every day, I've never seen one of your videos, why not? I will search.

@DrGoodwrench64 just did some thinken, what did it get before you started?I had a sr5 4X4 wagon that got almost 40mpg, it had 235,000 miles on it and I did nothing to it, my kia I almost doubled it. it only got 17mpg.

@indianchief741 Hello Thanks for the video. Poorly translated into Russian. What savings could get after the repair and experimentation? Could you show the drawings of the reactor?

I like this light hearted video. Thanks for the laughs!

@indianchief741

Don't search too hard, there isn't a video of the Toyota build. I DO have videos up but they have nothing to do with cars.

But, after watching your build videos, I've decided to video my latest project, Project:Ford.

I firmly believe the auto manufacturers have been lying to us for years about what an internal combustion engine's efficiency REALLY is. I proved it to my self, now I want to show the world what can be done without modifying the engine, ECU or sensors.

So, now I'm at it again. This time the project vehicle is a 1977 Ford F-250 Long-Bed Pickup with a 351-M400, 6.6L V-8! I'll be going through the same steps as I did with the Toyota, just on a larger scale. The goal is to make it get at least 28mpg hwy & 18city or better. I'd like to add a turbo or a blower if I can find one for free that will make decent boost. LOL. I've already started on the intake setup.

I'll do some videos of Project:Ford and one for the Toyota that saved my life.

[DrGoodwrench64]

All in all, I took a 98hp, stock Toyota Corolla 4-door that got 28hwy and 21city and turned it into a 145hp, 46.7hwy, 32.1city mpg, gas sipping, Sleeper machine.

It looked and sounded stock, hauled ASS and looked nice but not gaudy.

I did all this because I was driving over 3k miles per month and fuel was about $4.15\Gal. at the time.

When I was finished modding it, these mods netted me an extra $1200-$1500\mo. in fuel reimbursement.

I did 30K mi in 10 months before the wreck (*Cry*).

5) I installed a set of Splitfire-3 spark plugs and a set of high-quality plug wires. I used a set of Mallory 9mm racing wires and built the wires myself.

TIP: Make sure the wires are all the SAME LENGTH. Odd length wires will make your timing jump around slightly. Same length wires means the spark will always take the same amount of time to hit the plug. These little details do make a difference!!!

6) Finally, A K&N Oil filter and 4 quarts of Royal Purple 5W-30 Synthetic Oil.

3) I took out the stock plastic & rubber air intake tubes and air-cleaner box and replaced them with a K&N Cone-style filter and a 3" Short-Ram air intake tube. It's just 3" Aluminum tubing with a mandrel-bent 45 degree bend near one end. A test setup can be done with 3" PVC Sch-40 piping, but don't glue it together!

4) I added a "Tornado Fuel Saver" to the intake tube. I used pop-rivets to hold it in to the Short-Ram permanently. Yes, it DOES work! Find one and copy it. It's just tin..

So I went from the 1 5/8" stock exhaust system to a 2 1/2" system and capped it off with a nice little Borla Muffler (about $75 installed). The stock muffler is designed to muffle the sound with fiberglass packing material. VERY RESTRICTIVE! Tearing out the exhaust system was the best (and biggest) part of my mod. It gave the most gain at 20%+ increase in fuel economy and Horsepower!

2) I changed my 16" wheels to 18" to help lower the RPMs on the hwy. It Dropped 400 rpm in 5th @80mph.

@indianchief741

Since you're a welder and a machinist, the next few steps will be a cake-walk for you and probably won't cost you a dime! This is what I'd do if I were you...

1) Find a nice "Tuned" exhaust header and copy it. I can't weld so I bought a DC Tri-Y Header ($279 +tax, shipping and 2 months wait time!) Its a 4-2-1 type design that bolted to the Cat with a 2 1/2" collector. I also got a 50-50 Cat to replace the stock Cat. 50% more flow! Then I replaced the rest of the pipe with 2.5".

@indianchief741

It started out @28 hwy 21 city before I wrecked it.I'll have to post the pictures of the aftermath.

But, if you've got yours in driveable condition, I'd say its time to do your exhaust. You'll see 18-20% ga-n in power and economy.
