Maximizing Gas Mileage (Air filter...)

ZenkiS14 · Post by **ZenkiS14** » Thu Apr 22, 2010 6:54 am

Ok, so I really dont care about power or sound that much, but I DO want to absolutely maximize the gas mileage that my lil D16Z6 gets.

I need a new air filter...should I just do a drop in K&N into factory box with all the plumbing, or slap on a short ram/cold air intake?

Again, what has been proven to be the absolute best for gas mileage and efficiency...

And while Im on it, what NGK plugs do these cars like? What fuel filter is best? What plug wires? And what other steps can be taken to get the absolute most possible out of these cars?

Sorry about your job Kyle, but as stated before.

K&N and OEM NGKs. I believe the civic VX came with an OEM undertray of some sorts it you ever stumble on one in the junk yard.

I will post up my MPG results later tonight, I just finished off a full tank today actually. gotta fill her up.

But ok, looks like a K&N and some NGK's. I fixed my exhaust tonight, so now its oem quiet again (thanks erik!), and im picking up some fat-fives to replace hubcaps with torn up tires.

Hoping to get an EX lip from Erik soon for el cheapo, then I guess that undertray thing Dan mentioned if it'll make a difference in Gas Mileage.
