Bad MPG after top end rebuild and y pipe mod!!
alright ,ive cleaned my injectors very good,ive changed ;plugs,wires ,dist cap,rotor,ThrotlePositioningSensor(and yes this thing cost me alot) and i did a y pipe mod known as (chief pipe mod) alot of dudes did it before me,and im runing no cat,and my fuel filter is new and my air filter is cleaned (k&n).
the only thing i did not changed is the O2 sensor,witch i think is as old as the truck itself,could it only be only that little sensor thats doing all this??
i meen its really bad its even worst than before i did the rebuild,and i had a damn hole in exaust valve numb 6 and i had one driping injector and everything was dirty ,i meen wut the hell.i think i get around 10 or 11 miles per gallon in town.makes me nuts
any sugestions?

Hmmmm new free flowing exhaust = less bottom end torque more top end hp due to lack of back pressure. Perhaps your problem is in your foot to get the truck going as fast as before but with 10 less torque.

i know it sounds crazy but the cam caps fits perfecly,no mismatch watsever,and i sealed them anyway with some high heat and oil ressitant packing. and i cant afford to switch the heads ,its gonna cost me another set of head gasket and alot of pain in the butt. so there is no turning back now.
I don't know, but this might say something about the problem.
Not trying to start a flame war, just a thought.

These are 4 stroke engines, They dont need back pressure, They need velocity and scaveging affects.
2 stroke engines do.
I would say O2 sensor, Check the wires too, possibly may have pinched or burnt.
The O2 sensor is after the Y pipe right ?

MOST have problems with Bosch on Toyota engines. Sparks plugs, O2 sensors, etc. Not ALL, but most. I think part of the problem with the O2 sensors is a difference in shaft length (Bosch is shorter & isn't in the exhaust stream as far).

You dont need back pressure, is correct, what you need is hot enough exhaust for it to move fast. Hot air flows faster than cold air. Too much free flow at low RPM prevents your exhaust pipes from heating up sufficiently. This is one reason people that have headers wrap them.
Now, put a cat on your truck.
Poisoning the air is not acceptable just because it makes you think you can go faster. Plenty of people drive with converters and don't have the problems you are having and they aren't contributing as much to lung disease. Driving without a cat is like driving a 2 stroke, and you should save that for riding your old motorcycles.
