I have a 87 tII with boost controller, 89-91 intake and turbo, and bov, and the car seems to be running rich. I am getting REALLY bad gas mileage. This is my first rotary engine and I am thinking about putting a stand alone on it. What is the best kind for this setup? Why am I getting such bad mileage? Any help would be nice.
thanks rob

A SAFC from Apexi would fix the running lean part.

I put 13 gallons in and got about 150 miles. Is that bad? I have always had honda and even my heavily modded integra still got batter gas mileage.
Thanks for the help everyone

check your TPS adjustment, i would also probably start upgrading the fuel management depending on if you have exhaust mods or not.
