I did a sheet for a vw 1.6 diesel swapped into a crx. Really simple and cheap. The spreadsheet spit out 80 mpg for the diesel crx at 55 mph on a level road.
From your experiences, do you guys think this project would be worth completing once I graduate? I can't find anything about a swap like this except a guy on youtube who never showed the thing completed.

A crx gets 55 mpg?
I was thinking the same thing about the swap.
What other lighter smaller cars could you swap a TDI motor into?
80 mpg would be nice plus do some eco mods mentioned in here to get 100?
Just found this thread about the swap
