rb25 gas mileage
What kind of gas mileage do you guys get with your rb25? I can hardly get over 200 miles on a tank. What about you guys? I need a wideband!

Re: rb25 gas mileage (amakadius)
You should definitely be getting more than 200 miles per tank. That is what?...14-15 mpg on a stockish RB25? You should be getting upwards of 20-28 mpg.
If I stay out of boost, I get about 20 mpg. I think it has something to do with the lower compression pistons and larger cams not being as efficient, but that is just a guess.
Frankly, I don't really mind getting 15 mpg on a tank since it is my toy car and that is about what I expect out of it. I balance it all out with the 39 mpg my daily driver civic gets
