This info hunting for Z18ET is going no where -

6km per Litre
second is _ if you work the engine hard enough - is better you buy a V8

he IS trying to sell it, for a reason.....

it's an old old engine with a turbo....

A friend of mine used to have a car with one, it certainly went nicely. He never mentioned lousy fuel economy though..

easy fill the tank and drive for 100km and then fill it again and look at the litres you use.

Osix,
i have the next generation eng on from that, mine is a sohc ca18et (not twin cam), it to has 8 plugs and is similar technology, and yes sir-re, dont expect to get great fuel economy, mostly due to the turbo design and the ecu's of the day. with an aftermarket ecu you will be able to turn a bit more economy orrientated on cruise, from memory with a factory ecu i use to get around 400km to 50lts if i was being a very good lil boy, otherwise that could drop to 280-300km for 50lt at the spank of a hooker. Mind you when i took turbo off and put a na exhaust manafold on, i was able to put bucket loads of timming into it and now get 600km to 50lts regulary.
