tfreer85 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 So I've put roughly 1k miles on my Autech SR20DE swap and figured I'd share my MPG results so far. With me still learning stick (need to replace the shifter bushing) and occasionally putting my foot in it I've been averaging: 27-MPG Combined 30-MPG All freeway 24-25-MPG in the city I don't know what the car weighs yet, but I'm quite pleased with the results!! Just need to ditch the spoiler now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 How did you confirm it's an autech? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78zstyle Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Cool spoiler, whats the offset and size of your wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfreer85 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 BluDestiny - I haven't really confirmed. It was installed by Vildini Motorsports. It just stopped cranking today, verified the battery was good, might be the starter after only a couple of weeks of driving it really kind of irks me to have a failure so fast. 78ztlye 17x9 with a 5" offset. (could be wrong, I got mine a LONG long time ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 How much did that swap cost you? and why did you choose NA over a turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfreer85 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 The motor was about $1500 ish. The reason I went N/A is I wanted something completely different for engine swaps. I have never ever ran across another 240z with an Autech SR20DE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger280zx Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I predict your highway mpg goes up to 33 when you loose the wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperIV Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I don't understand the wing on an NA car that you are talking about mileage for, I would have sold that to a Honda kid right off . If you lose that and do some of the normal drag clean up that the high speed guys do, you can get a lot better fuel economy.Do you have a pic of the front of the car so I can see what openings there are still up front? Just curious about how much more you can de-drag the front. Edited June 10, 2013 by CasperIV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasperIV Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) What does the method of induction matter concerning wings? Nothing specifically other than typically if people running extra down force are talking about fuel efficiency racing which rarely involves an NA SR. The wing it's self doesn't directly correlate with the NA reference other than the oddity of the pairing. The gist was that I wouldn't have even tested the mileage before having removed and sold the wing. Edited June 13, 2013 by CasperIV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
