I was daydreaming today about auto parts and my mustang eco-modder project and was thinking...
If I am able to derive over 30 mpg from my 2.3 ohc motor with just playing with the air fuel ratio and maf sensor readings, what could i gainfully accomplish if I was to put together a purpose built smaller displacement miller cycle 4 cylinder motor?
Miller Cycle Info:
Miller cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Would a 2.0 liter SOHC Miller Cycle motor be capable of putting project mustang in the 50mpg club?
I'm assembling a parts list in my head right now:
86-88 ford ranger 2.0 block (pistons TBD)
91-93 ford mustang 8 plug head (milled for hi compression)
Custom Cam ground by Web Camshaft
Custom Intake manifold utilizing an eaton supercharger
Moates 1/4 horse EEC tuning
I think I might hit 40mpg now, but it sure would be sweet if I could build this car to produce 150hp and 50 mpg...
thoughts? ideas?
