its not a very big engine...engine size changes alot of things...basic common sense...so i dont think it should guzzle too much...but i dont know since it has a turbo...but im not sure...i used to have a Sentra GXE which was a 1.8L...dont know if .2 makes that much of a diff. But your right...just have to wait and find out...it shouldnt guzzle as much gas as the stock 2.4L

I get about 480 km's out of a full tank. 380-420km's if i flog it everywhere.
Dont forget an SR turbo that isnt on boost acts like a low compression 2 litre NA so if you dont fang it everywhere you will get equal or better milage to the KA

I get 300 plus miles per tank in mine, and I am always "on it". I would say that's pretty good!!!

Hope that helps.

Why do you say not to purchase a motor from enjuku racing? are they a bad company? do they have bad parts? Im not thinking of buying a motor from them, but being that im so close to them I might be buying some other parts.

Id say Sr20's get great gas mileage, of course it also depends on what turbo/fuel setup you are running, and how hard you drive

I get at least 400kms per tank from mine, and thats with a fair bit of fanging

Both very good points. Take the published MPG estimate with a grain of salt. I never get the mileage I'm supposed to, because I like throttle.

thats the great thing about this modern technology...and the 240sx being so light works in your favor.

I know several people with camaros, transams, mustangs, lightnings, novas...all with fuel injected motors puting out about 350-450hp...but they all get around 8-13mpg in town and about 15 on the highway.
Most imports modded to 400hp or so still average 20mpg.
