How much gas you save with a b20?
I have a d16y8 which is great for gas but I want a little more power now. I'm thinking about a completely stock 99+ b20 motor with ls transmission. No mods besides a chip 28 with b20 basemap or an obd1 ls ecu. Does anyone know what kind of MPG I would be getting with this setup in my 97 civic? Would I be getting the same MPG as a d16y8 or less?

so you want more power but you also wanna save fuel?
it all depends on your driving. short shifts and when your cruising down a hill, take it out of gear. and dont race everyone on the road.

really? I thought that it would at least get me the same mileage or a little less than the d16y8 because the motor is in a lighter car. But I need someone to confirm this if anyone has this swap. The d16y8 is fine but I went from a powerful h2b so I miss the power lol

bigger engine, more power, uses more gas...
just because you put a 454 big block in a toyota truck doesn't mean you're going to get 4 cylinder fuel economy... (just an analogy)

I had almost this exact setup in a 96 cx hatch i built 3 years ago. Being i live in Canada, i got 500 kilometers per tank
my setup......
- 96 cx civic, no options
- 2000 B20Z engine
- 2000 LS tranny
- OBDI conversion w/PR4 ecu (p75 sucked)
- edelbrock header
- Toda flywheel
- twip loop exhaust
Car was wicked powerful and fun to drive! Faster than any gsr swap around here
