Nope, I'm running a turbocharged 1.6L D16 Z6 with a Z6 head that's modified with my own prechamber that I built. I have been working on this design for ten years now.

My car does great at 55mph to 58mph. It will get a little over 70mpg at these speeds. But anything over 60mph the FE drops off drastically. This where aero is going to help a ton. Then it will be a complete package.
