7MGE swap

cre · 05-05-2010, 04:29 AM

A healthy GTE should get better mileage than the GE... they did from the factory.

Your horrible mileage is due to the engine problems, not the turbo.

Running a lower octane will generally increase your mileage as well.

I'll try to help with individual questions, but I haven't the time to post a writeup or to watch the thred like a hawk. IMO, 95% is obvious.

I recommend keeping the oil cooler setup from the GTE.

Are these from the same revision? Pre89 to pre89 or 89+ to 89+??
