Only mods are Injen short ram intake and jet stage 2 module (10708S)

1st run is stalled in drive TC and ESC off (about 3-5 feet of tire spin)

2nd run is stalled in 1 TC and ESC off (about 3-5 feet of tire spin)

3rd run is at idle in 1 TC and ESC off (about 1-3 feet of tire spin)


yes I was this bored and yes its slow as hell. But I was bored on the way home playing with the new point and shoot digital cam I got for xmas.
Also kind of amusing to note my average fuel economy falling even lower due to the 0-60 runs. Also my fuel average is usually around 26.1 but ive been doing a lot of in town driving lately which is killing me. That and a heavy foot Its slow as hell. Roughly 0-60 in 8 seconds or so. With traction itd be a bit better. The Jet module doesnt help out much for 0-60 but it does help higher up. Sometime I will do some 0-80 and 0-100 runs.

 

I can only view youtube videos my phone doesn't like photobucket for some reason. Ill view it tonight!

 

How did you get the t/c and esc off while you were in drive? Did you leave the emergency brake on or something?

 

For the 08's there's a button you could press. Hold it down for 5 secs and it disables both t/c and esc.

 

How do you get 26.1 average MPG? Always on the highway? My 2.4 gets about 21 with a k&n short ram

 

0-60 in 8?

my stock 2.2 was around 9.

im gonna have to go test mine out now. lol.

 

I get an average of 26mpg. Most of which is highway

 

I wish i had that feature for my G5 GT. Its a 07 so i'm sure i dont have it, no biggie since i'm gunna get a trifecta tune this spring anyway.

 

Ouch thats really low. I dont get that low when ive been running it hard. Mines low right now also partially from doing a lot of backroading cruises lately. And I will get around 25-26 normally if I do the normal 50/50 highway city mix that I usually do.

lol I was fairly happy considering im an auto. After looking at youtube videos it seems like im actually doing pretty well 0-60 wise.
With less tire spin id think a 7.5-7.7 to 60 would be possible with the current mods. Which isnt too bad for a 4 cylinder auto.

 

I'm not doin much better than this. About 22-24 maybe on a good day

 

m62+auto = 29-30mpg avg. lol Thats mixed driving too. It was around 25-26 before the m62 went on.

 

get a tune sometime...it will allow full power right away instead of gradually letting it in

you dont get full power until around 3k rpm or so...i think

 

Torque management sucks I have the jet which does help but when I can find a spare ecm tcm and bcm I will definitely do a full tune. But for the 2 mods done I was fairly happy. Also in those videos the tires were spinning some. So thats also why it took off like that. Its just too cold even for a 2.4 auto to hook up.

 

my 2.2 pulled around 8 sec 0-60 when it just had a CAI. Gonna have to do a vid tonight to see what it is now

2.2 with cai 0-100

 

When it warms up im going to do another. was getting 3-5 feet of tire spin in those videos. So I know I can get the times down.

 

How are you averaging that much? Mine went down to 17 average, mostly city driving

 

I have no idea how you guys are getting those low mpg's. When I had my 2.4 I got about 29 mixed driving. I was also full throttling it a lot too.

 

Tune and time of year has a lot to do with it as well. I average better mpg during the summer.

 

yah but right now, mixed i get 27-28 MPG and i drive her harder than the average person. in teh summer im around 30. and around 32-33 if i granny it

 

5spd>4spd for fuel economy though

 

true and im an auto

Figured why not on the way home tonight.

Ended up with a fair amount of wheel spin as you can kind of see in the video but oh well.
If there were anyone curious how slow a 2.4 auto is well heres your proof!

Esc and Tc off stalled out with about 5-10 ft of wheel spin this time.

 

yea i was just saying....cause of the HP/TQ difference from the 2.2 to 2.4...

i remember posting on here saying my 2.2 with just CAI was running 16.3's all day long and a few jumped on me and said BS. I know what i ran....and so do a few others on here. Think i was lucky and got a 2.2 that is a factory beast.


i did a quick run tonight gunning it after making a turn and hit sum snow/ice on the road and TC kicked in and still made it to 70 pretty quick...will post the video tomorrow when i transfer it to my comp

 

well im hoping to get a header and get it on within the next few weeks. Also part of the purpose of these videos.

 

heres the run from last night.....TC kicking in with my letting off the gas then back on cause of a snow/ice patch.

lol hard to tell between the wheel turning and throttle lifting.
