Since @Me78569 and company have the tuning thread for performance side. I'm going to start the ecomony and MPG thread for the Quadzilla Adrenaline. I'll be posting up my MPG logs and all data I can provide of what I've got going on. I've been keeping hand math logs of all fuel purchased as well as my tablet running OBDII link LX and data logging from that direction too. I'll share my tunes and settings as well. 

 

QUADZILLA TUNES CURRENTLY LOADED (Check back often file is updated at random times)

Just for information purpose, I've updated my tuning guide more. 

 

I just lost 2-3 mpg from being colder outside. Seeems my boost doubled at cruising speed. Can't catch a break, just went from 285 to  265 in tire size and gained few MPG, shortly after it cooled off and I lost what I gained

Same here. Last warm day I got 20.5 MPG and now that most of the day is rather on the cold side. I'm now down to about 19 MPG. The cetane level has really increased the last few trips. 

Were you ever able to figure out the trip gallon getting reset every start up? I tried even deleting the app and reinstalling on my android tablet and a matter what the button is it resets

Besides changes in winter and summer blend fuels low IAT temps will play a big change in economy as well as parasitic loss from colder differentials and tighter clearances in general. Colder and more denser air is also harder to drive threw physically creating more drag. It all adds up.

 

as for the IAT thing I bump each timing setting up 1-2* depending on outside temp to offset for the low IAT in the winter and my economy hasn’t changed because of it.

 

if you listen very very closely to the engine knock you can hear as IAT changes the knock changes at varying throttle, load and RPM. I also have a ear for it more then some I feel but if your extremely in tune with the sound you can determine your timing curve on sound with different conditions. Quad timing I run on my stockish tow rig for winter

 

1500: 18.5-19

2000: 22

2500: 24.5

3000: 26

max: 27

 

Fuel load 0

cruise advance 2

low boost reduct 5

 

For quadzilla users if you take a little timing away from the cruise advance and instead put it into the timing map section you’ll find gains in economy, since the ground we drive on isn’t 100% level and we have changing conditions constantly it means we fall in and out of cruise time constantly. Some of us live in mountains, if 1500 is set at 15* the second you start climbing your timing falls back, well it’s too low then and you’ve lost cylinder pressure and to make up for it you inject more fuel to compensate. Focus more on the timing map itself rather then your cruise figure, you’ll find gains there more. For mopar man for example if he pulls about 1* from cruise advance and puts it in the 2000rpm figure he would use less fuel on the hill climbs where he lives since the truck isn’t in the cruise map overlay.

Just got my Quad hooked up and ready to try some tunes! When was the last update to the Mileage file?

 

I'm currently rebuilding the tune. What I've got is for 7x0.0085 injectors. Now upgraded to 7 x 0.010 injectors.

Sweet I'm eagerly waiting! I have 7x.009 so which one would work better?

the smaller injector tunes.

Use the default profile for a while. Its very safe for the head, youll get some economy out of it atleast and its clean burning.

I have a big injector daily file running right now and it's running really good right now!
