If my 1ZZ-FED blows again, I might drop in a 1KR-FE for ****s, giggles and superior fuel economy.
That little engine got me 3,5L/100km in a not very aerodynamic car.
I wonder what it would do in my spyder, especialy if I actualy ran tires with a fuel economy rating better than F  |
Perhaps we're making assumptions and confusion between fuel efficient engines and fuel efficient vehicles. Anyone have the new Godzilla engine bsfc handy?
