Message	I converted a friends 95 1.6 sohc auto civic to a 5spd turbo(stock motor,440cc inj, td04-15g, 10psi, 200fwhp). He used to get 30mpg city auto n/a. After the 5spd turbo swap,he still gets 30mpg in regular easy city driving. Boosting alot, it manages 25mpg city. It of course needs premium gas, so the bill does go up, but gas mileage is still great, even compared to most new cars today.
