So guys my brother is building a 2.3 for me and I was wondering what kind of mpg's you guys are getting? and what turbo/injector setup are u running also what kind of power is being made?

thanks!

 

2.4L, fp green, 1450's, double pumper, 500hp, 16mpg

That includes a couple spirited merges onto the highway

 

building a stroker motor...asking about power levels....mpg should be the least of your concern. just my opinion... mine probable will barely get 10-12 mpg downhill

 

2.3, hta3076r, fic 1800cc - double pumper, built 6 speed with 4:1 final drive - I get about 16mpg w/ e85

 

I know that its just I'm making a 1400+ mile round trip soon and i jsut wanted to know how many tanks of gas i may need to go each way hence cost in gas for total trip.

 

Not a good idea if your gonna take a new built motor on a long highway trip.

There are just to many variables to even ask this question.

 

Ok I see lol well thanks a lot guys I appreciate it.

 

Are u saying not to take such a long trip on a new motor ?

 

I get 20mpg commuting on 91 in big urban area, while on E85 I get 16mpg under same conditions.

By advancing timing in cruise/low loads you can achieve maybe 22mpg on 91.

New motor has to be broken in with variable load/speed, not long highway cruise.

 

Ok I see awesome im looking for a turbo for this car to make about 500 whp oin 91 but i wanna make more with e85 ive been looking into bbk any other suggestions i wanna spoool really fasy

 

Yes, just as alpinaturbo says, you need variable speed to break it in.
Your looking for problems if you take a long highway trip.

GL!

 

2.4L FP black 650hp, FIC 2150s, double pumper, 4:11 final E85= 17mpg

 

2.4L R2's 2150 cc E85 & 90% city driving ~14mpg, ~180miles for a 12.5gal fill up.

Now i recently went to 91 oct, oem injectors & stock turbo; waiting on a new turbo & sending my injectors in for inspection, same driving, im got 23xmiles to the 1st tank.

Depends on tune man.

btw, i got ~40k miles out of my 2.3L, before going LR 2.4L
