turbo for mileage

[Ryan]

You're an idiot buddy.

I guarantee you'll get s--- a-- mileage on a 0.5L. Your theory sucks.

Mileage is a function of many many variables, an important one being how hard the motor has to work. An engine designed to work at peak efficiency when its pushing a car with a 0.4 COD at 100 kph through a G transmission will do MUCH better in these cars than, you're right, a 7L V8, or a 1.5L Honda pile. Turbo's help motors run more efficiently under some conditions, too, but not where mileage is concerned. You can't say a bigger motor or a turbo will be for sure less efficient, so why don't you keep your mouth shut unless you know what you're talking about.

Excuse me for being rude.

Merry Christmas.

i have to agree that milage is all about propper tuning i had a 76 firebird with a 350ci that surprisingly got better milage then many of the other cars i have driven and thats between 8,6 and 4 cyl engines and im not going by distance to a tank like said in some of the prior post here its about how hard the engine is working and tuning cause not nesasaraly size cause i doubt i could get better milage from a 4 cyl in a full size chevy ie then what i would get from an 8

well, that ain't workin' so lets dump in almost 1 more Litre of motor! Um... yeah. Mileage FAIL!

Bashing people for their comments on how funny your concept of internal combustion engines vs gas mileage isn't going to win you any brownie points.

You need to read up on motors..... allot.

You only have a K8, you have absolutely no experience with a 2.5L in an Mx-3. Those with a KL in their Mx-3 (properly configured and running right) will get better milleage than their K8 did, it's a proven fact.

Brownie points? Really? If you haven't read my threads, you'll see that I'm not kissing anyone's asses.
