HUGE MPG gains for your Bronco!

In today's video we are going to tell you how to get better fuel mileage out of your bronco! Coltons Bronco has a 1.5 inch Fabtech level, Fuel Block wheels, Bronco letters, Bronco floor mats. He also has a 2.7 L Automatic Bronco.
We are going to be trying 3 different things to see how it affects the gas mileage. Right now colton averages about 18 mpg.
The first test is a K&N High Performance Filter. This is designed to increase HP, up to 50% more air flow, and washable. This test took the gas milage from 18 to 19.6
The next test is the MBRP Armor light exhaust. After the installation of this exhaust it brought the mpg to 19.7
The last test is the ford performance procal tuner. All you need is a computer to install this part to your Bronco. This brought the mpg to 20.1 which is quite the gain.
After all of these tests we found that the filter and exhaust are worth it, while the tuner is not due to you having to buy premium gas.
If you are interested in any of these products you can get them at TCcustoms.com or give us a call for more information (205) 491-0010.

Back in my younger days I thought the engineering that went into new cars could be inproved but the more i changed things the worst results i got. I believe keeping it the way it comes will pay off in the long run.

Im currently doing 21.4 on my 2.7 sasquatch. Did 25mpg between Chicago and NY. Thats just stock. I didn't swap anything, if anything, added more weight to the front swapping the plastic bumper with an all steel. Its all about how you drive it. Eco mode and coast when you can. Use the hills for momentum. Country roads do better than both city and highway driving.

The MPG needs to be verified by the odometer and gas pump. The display on the dash is an estimated calculation. Should have filled the tank, installed the part, drove 200 miles, and then refilled the tank to get the MPG !!

The way you drive will give you far more gas mileage than any of these mods ever will. Most people who do these mods do it for performance and will negate any positive effects on mileage by driving more quickly and aggressively. I doubt you'll ever get your money back out of better mileage for the cost of these mods.

Premium fuel is less efficient than regular because it is harder to ignite. The advantage is you can run more timing or boost because it helps prevent detonation.

K&N filters flow better because they filter less. Which is REALLY a concern if you are running in dusty conditions.

Ford clearly state that any modification to stock will void the power train warranty…..this gives them the out they need. I don’t like the K&N filter because it changes the mass air flow specifications and in time the recharge oil gums up the sensor. I think the only modification I would do is the Ford Performance tune that is sanctioned by Ford. We all have to remember that this is carefully engineered and designed the way Ford intended and when you change one element, it affects so much more than you think……usually not positive for the long term. They say the combined direct and port injection engines do not require a catch can……I installed one to see if this is true. I swap out if I have to go to Ford for any kind of service. I would be putting a disclaimer on your videos that says these modifications come with a warranty risk and changes you make are at your own risk. If you want better mileage or more power, buy a different vehicle. Coming from a BMW X6 M (570 hp), I would choose the Bronco any day of the week. It has more than enough power with everything stock. The only element I don’t like about this engine is the wet belt in the timing chain case.

@ericdw5678 Ай бұрын

I would not do K&N, the oils that are on it and the oils you have to reply will just it sucked into the block which will increase the silicone levels. Also it does filter less. Fust stay with stock

@breaddrinker 7 ай бұрын

The K&N was a terrible fit on the bronco. It isn't just looser. It rattles. You can see him double thinking it after setting it in place. It has no room to lock down, allowing air in without it passing through the filter. So, yes it increases air throughput. Major pass. Also, consider what an offroad filter needs to deal with compared to an on road one. Higher throughput can mean less filtering, especially with a poor gasket fit, which means dust penetration. Something the tight fitting paper filters nearly entirely stop. You know what else increases horsepower and MPG? Not running an air filter at all. A death sentence for such a vehicle. There is a similar sized K&N with a metal strap screwband to snug up the gasket grip. I'd run that one over this one that is a supposed drop in, but because of the dust issues on off road vehicles, stay with good quality paper filters.

If you’re looking for a commuter for gas mileage buy a car not an off road machine 😂 My Bronco works it hauls my boat Goes fishing/ camping/ pulls my flats boat in and out at a dirt boat launch Goes to the hardware and gets loaded with mulch or pvc pipes or whatever is needed to run a campground that day. Does some off road driving just for fun on occasion. Do I take care of it yes Keep it clean yes Do all my own filters and fluids yes I am not silly enough to think it was going to be good on fuel mileage though 😂 2021 Badlands 60k on the clock and running strong only motorcraft filters used. excellent fuel mileage is for Prius owners 😂

Try adding not only the K&N stock air filter, but try E3 spark plugs and you’ll notice you’ll be into the 20s very quickly and you could still run on regular fuel

The K&N filter you installed is the wrong one. That is too large for that air inlet inside the box. There is a revised filter I think, but have not been able to find the part number for the 22+ bronco.

Seems strange that Ford would add that stupid auto stop/start in order to increase MPG, but they wouldn't make these intake/exhaust changes. Probably due to noise restrictions.

K&N style filters KILL engines by allowing dirt to pass thru. NEVER run a K&N style filter on any motor that does NOT get torn down and rebuilt between races. If you go to look at a used car and it has one of those filters, walk away, fast.

Yeah every time someone talks about K&N it makes me want one more but I keep hearing it’s not meant for reliability, it’s meant for performance and that means you get more dirt through the filter causing more damage and upkeep later on.

@christopherdimotsis1024 4 ай бұрын

Yep 👍 but one thing also if you live in the city and your not out on dusty roads there is less impact, plus if you have a high intake/snorkel it raises the intake level so your picking up less dirt and dust that’s gonna be closer to the ground…. But in the long run it’s definitely less protection but I’ve seen people with aftermarket intakes above 150k (had them installed before 30k) with no issues too. Environment, maintenance and driving habits will affect your reliability more than anything.
