Hey if anyone out there has a 20b [3 Rotor] engine can you please tell me how many mpg you get? also, will new fuel injectors and light weight parts increase mileage?

Cheers.

 

If you're looking at the mileage, the 20B is not something that's going to give it to you...

About 6L a minute! haha

 

I was interested in this question as well. I know the 13B-REW gets like 14/18mpg but how does the 20B compare?

 

depends on how you drive. i think i get about 8-10mpg. stock turbos, 1600cc secondaries, supra tt FP

like someone else said, 20b's arent for gas mileage.

 

...if youre in it for fuel consumption , youre better of doing a diese conversion , 20B loves fuel

 

Lol how do you guys daily drive these cars or are your 20b powered FD's weekend warriors.

 

I get about 12 mph hwy and may 8 to 10 street.

 

Making frequent stops for gas and having a thick wallet is the only way you will be able to DD a boosted 20b FD. An NA 20b on the other hand probably wouldn't be any worse than a boosted 13b, may actually be cheaper if you are running 87 octane.

 

Cheers, i went to the rotary specialists here in nz, guy replaced my fuel injectors, said they were old and ****, also gave me 2 fuel savers, a tornado thing [just increased hp] and a cool magnetic thing, got a bit more mpg from that! i went from 22 city to about 25! amazing!

 

Um.
Ok...

You got yourself an alcoholic there!

 

Haha - Not quite - I think we worked out it will be about 20L a min on alcohol!

 

Originally, I got about 13.5 mpg on my daily commute and about 15.5 mpg on long freeway trips. Once I added a wide-band and enabled feedback to the Tec-II units, I got about 15 mpg on the daily commute. I haven't been on a long trip to check that mileage figure.

How do I daily drive this car? Joyfully! I can't afford a weekend warrior, so it goes to work, to the grocery store, etc. To put things in perspective, most high-powered, exotic cars (Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc.) get similar mileage. Few cars producing more than 400 hp get high mileage numbers. Chevy was able to get high EPA numbers (approx. 26 mpg) by putting an "over-overdrive" gear in it's six-speed tranny that went in the Corvette and the Camaro. I'm not sure what the cars got in the real world.

If I don't sell the car, and if I do a single turbo upgrade, and if the upgraded motor overpowers my T-II gearbox, I'll convert to the Corvette/Camaro 6-speed and see what it does for my mileage figures.

 

Daily driven ?!!.....hell no , i rip it in the weekends man , besides , my week shedule doesn`t include time for my 3 rotor

 

does anyone know the difference in the series numbers? i'm planing to do a 20 for my 93 vr, the guy quoted me at 6000 how does that sound? and also would like to know if there is anything i need too double check on or need to know before jumping in this..

Thx in advance guys

Thanks for all the help, think ill stick to the 13b until they get that RX-8 hydrogen engine into production :P

 

Use single turbo with big hot side like t72on a Q Trim exhaust a/r 1.6 single exhaust 3inch down to 2.5 half way back.
