1989 Dodge Daytona ES 2.5L N/A
Hey everyone!
Long time lurker here. Just wanted to stop in and see if any one would have some ideas on my cars. I think I currently get somewhere between 28-32MPG on it right now. I have two 1989 Dodge Daytona ES 2.5L N/A 3-speed cars. Wanting to see if I could use one of them to get some pretty decent MPG out of. One of them is getting a 3.8L Chrysler V6 swapped into it, so that probably wouldn't be a good candidate for obvious reasons. But the other one is free game. Now, I'm a very active poster over on Turbo Mopar and Turbo Dodge where there's tons and tons of information on these cars. They're mostly about power adders though. Though I have seen people posting their MPG hear and there. There seems to be reports of people getting 42MPG in their 2.2L turbo cars with the 5-speed trans. That's after heaving modding for power too. Including bigger injectors, larger turbo, and 3" exhaust with no cat. I have a 2.5L engine with a sloppy 3-speed auto. So I know the first boosts to speed and fuel economy would be swapping to the 5-speed trans. Here's a list of ideas I've had to increase the MPG:
I think the only thing that is kind of sucky about the N/A part so setup is the pumping losses. A turbo might actually help the fuel economy slightly. Let me know what you guys think! |
