calculated my gas mileage...
with the mods i've put in, i'm now getting roughly 375
km per tank, working out to about 8.62km/L
or 11.2L/100km
does that sound correct or is that low?
I'm being a gas miser this tank and see if it helps...

do you have a lead foot? not trying to be a prick but if you do thats killing your L/100Km.. on my way back to toronto from bc i was getting an average of 5.6-5.8L/100km (all highway)
what type of driving do you do?
Oh yea I love to drive my engine hard... Hence the

But I just didn't know if that's the only reason I'm getting such 5h1tty gas mileage or if (for example) my injectors were leaking???

lolololololololololz
as per the mileage. wow that's fuc king low.
That's beyond low. Holy @!#$. Stop driving it like a Lambo! lmao
It has to be more than just giving the accelerator hell that's killing your mpg (err... whatever the hell you call it).
yea I agree
I'm thinking (hoping not) that my injector is leaking, as i've never drilled the 03 fuel rail for my LSJ injectors
Is there a how-to regarding this?

It could just be the fact that your "tuned" by trifecta........Its a mail order tune right? And they cant get things perfect for your car..but also the cooler weather, the lead foot all accounts to bad fuel mileage.
Yea I do need a new tune... should've splurged and got a proper tune...
truthfully didn't know exactly what it was until I went to the place to get it done
But I've got a weird idle problem when my engine has a cold start too
It bounces between 600-1200 rpm and if I throttle, it sometimes stalls out because the revs drop back down below 600 :s
Kind of getting off topic... but could be part of my gas mileage problem if my injector is leaking

Well not to be a smart ass but maybe check under the hood and see if its leaking? lol..
If its leaking youd probably notice a fuel smell, and you should really get on fixing that cause it is very dangerous to have fuel leaking.
From what you say about how the car is running I can almost guarantee that its all in your tune. To give you an idea. For a while I was running my car off a 02 computer with the 03 injectors and my car was doing something very similar to yours. And that was on a stock car with a slight adjustment to he injector constant. Id be giving the guy a call and getting some tweaks done. Im sure that he would be willing to back up his tune and make some adjustments.
I have checked under my hood to discover that my exhaust manifold gasket is leaking so it makes it very difficult to try and smell for gas leaking from injectors
and I would get the retune if I could, but the guy who programmed the tune into my computer is now in edmonton and I'm in vancouver...

copper rtv silicone is your friend with the tsudo header
I personally picked up the tsudo header and I took mine in and got the flanges machined down..... Cost me like 50.... Cheap insurance
why do u have lsj injectors in there to begin with? Id put my money on the fact your running incredibly rich w/o a proper tune.
