better MPG and mods what next?Ace$nyper 05-17-2005, 05:10 PM Ok well i have a 93 cherokee sport with 4L auto. I just did tune up on it intake and axle back exhaust *both were needed* this is just my back up ride and i'd like better MPG if i can. should i do the mid pipe and cat now? Would a differnt TB gain me any MPG? Somthing like an MSD system? I like working on her and keeping in good shape but also improving the milage. Ace$nyper 05-22-2005, 01:22 AM no one at all? fergmonster 05-22-2005, 08:28 AM no one at all? what kind of mileage are you getting now? tire size? gears? lift? etc..... Ace$nyper 05-22-2005, 04:20 PM what kind of mileage are you getting now? tire size? gears? lift? etc..... 14-22 mpg mostly about 16-17 with the mixed driving. its stock sized tires and stock 3:55s no lift all it has is the intake and axle back. fergmonster 05-22-2005, 11:36 PM 14-22 mpg mostly about 16-17 with the mixed driving. its stock sized tires and stock 3:55s no lift all it has is the intake and axle back. if you've gotten 22 w/an automatic, i would say you can't get much better than that. Just keep it in tune, and you'll get the best possible! Ace$nyper 05-23-2005, 01:43 PM ok cool thanks! well any more work i could do to add some power without losing milage? I was thinking the rest of the exhaust and T-body next. vamc 05-23-2005, 10:41 PM Get 8mm plug wires from summitracing.com. tayler will work. we have that for our jeep. Kings-x59 05-23-2005, 11:04 PM Throttle body or mult-port injection? how much of the intake have you done? If it's throttle body, do you have a throttle body spacer? paulsenior 05-25-2005, 04:49 PM Remove the venture on the intake hose. and cut out the opening on the front of the box. Thats what I did, helped with power and MPG IdahoJeeper 05-26-2005, 07:06 AM Hi Ace, I'd agree with Ferg, 22 is pretty good... If you haven't bored the throttle body yet, go ahead and do it. I did mine myself, it's a piece of cake to do. I also installed a spacer at the same time. Did see some improvement in mileage and power. Kings-x59 05-26-2005, 11:37 PM I did Paulsenior's mod. Bored out the front of the air filter box, and removed the plastic panel directly in front of the intake hole on the box. -poor man's cold air intake. works good. More horsepower and better gas mileage at the same time requires a later year model engine frankly. I don't know if they are available for a '93, but you might look into a performance chip. the only drawback is they usually require higher octane gas to reap the performance. More power always equates to more $$$ one way or another. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
