My S60R has a cast iron manifold, haven't modded my pos yaris yet as it is my daily driver, so I haven't checked to see what is in it.

with fragile little aluminum pistons inside the engine don't lean it out.

so if most pistons are aluminum, then why would the Yaris pistons be any different than any other "fragile" aluminum piston when it is leaned out. If that were the case the the 2g eclipse's "fragile" aluminum pstons shouldn't have held up, correct?
and with the exhaust manifold being tubular steel, it would fail -way- before the pistons ever did.

this still does not account for the fact that a DSM is gonna get great gas mileage because of the turbo, and a 1nzfe is NOT going to gain fuel efficiency by leaning the engine out excessively. do me a favor go drive your yaris around at 19:1 AFR for the sake of the almighty fuel mileage and see how long your engine lasts

again, I don't tear apart my pos yaris that I drive to work every day to make it a race car, so no. I don't know what the internals look like.
then again, I don't expect a yaris to be an autocross or drag racing machine.

pot calling the kettle black, you want to lean out a high-compression N/A engine for the sake of fuel milege, because "some guy with a 1993 eclipse turbo did it" thinking it's a good idea.

turbo guys usually run higher octane too.

I asked if anyone had tried to lean it out for better fuel mileage, this forum is about fuel mileage, is it not? I was seeing if I could get some additional fuel mileage out of my daily driver is all.

the afc increments change depending on what rpm it is. I had an AFC2 on my Conquest and it was a great tool. There is more adjustments you can make. Although I am not sure how the AFC Neo works and what you are capable of doing with OBD2 and up.
Doesn't the AEM FIC allow you to adjust a few different parameters of the motor?

you could probably save more fuel by driving differently then you could by leaning it out 2.5%. my POS Yaris is > * :D |

because it's turbo is the reason the DSM could safely lean out the engine and improve fuel economy (because he's not leaning out as much as you'll have to on the yaris to yield any gains).

You can do it, but not that route. Whoever did that was lying.
Those aftermarket piggyback systems can only control open loop operation, and at "cruising mode" its always closed loop so you have to fool something else (like the signal from the 02 sensor). Now this has to be implemented so it only leans the car out under constant throttle (no acceleration)- otherwise knock will occur and your engine will blow. So yes, you can do it, but only to a certain extent. Honda's "lean burn" system goes up to 25.1 I believe, we could probably get away with 17.1, but I doubt anything else (those Honda engines have specially designed pistons which can burn a much leaner mixture, while we don't (just conventional pistons) |

BTW, also keep in mind that with leaner mixtures you produce considerably more N0x levels, so your kind of polluting more... if you care :D
