The silvia guys are dragging a lot of lard around. Take 500kgs out of the equation...it's like towing another datsun.

With the A12, do you have 200hp on tap ?
I strongly doubt that even a 100hp a12 would get anywhere near 10L/100km.

The standard A-series does wonderful things... it just doesn't them as good as an 18 year old CA18

I get around 7L/100km on long trips at 120km/h with the a12... does a CA18DE really do better? The S13 board guys seem to be quoting 12 - 15 L/100 (not much better than a CA18DET).

Real world s13 mileage (s13 board)

not exactly the nicest on my ute, gets driven everyday in peak hour, and rarely see much over 10L/100kms, even on club cruises its not much more than that, maybe 12L/100
pretty damn good for a performance car, dont think the ca's are as lean when their in a 180sx but haha

I drive my car briskly every time I'm in it and I rarely see worse than 11 litres/100km during city driving.

Even during track days I've never gone past 14 litres per 100km.

Impressive - I assume that is highway cruising where the whole lean cruise functions get used?

high 7Litres/100kms for sr20det, and low 8L/100kms for ca18det.

I drove Sydney to Melbourne on 270mmx9.25 cams and still got 10L/100kms with my CA18det.

A ca18de gets better fuel economy than an A12.

sr20de should be much better on fuel than the turbo ca18det - I'd guess around 8-9L/100km for the SR20DE, the CA18DET probably 10-11L/100km.

(at a wild guess that is - based on the power they make)

grayhood bud if you are putting a ca18det or a sr20de in a datto most ppl dont care wat sort fule consuption they getting cos its more of a power upgrade then if you want good fule consuption stick with the a12

i drove for about and hour an a half doing 100kmh the other week and it chewed around 12ltrs so wat evea that works out to b i dont think its to bad but

I know this might not be the first thing on peoples minds when stuffing something a bit more fun under the bonnett
But what sort of fuel consumption are people getting out of these conversions???
miles per gallon or litres per 100 km
