I didn't mean to be a smart arse. The Cressida (mine 1988 MX83) is a fantastic car and was way ahead of its era. How many cars in it's class were any where near the mark. Maybe my engine had been "looked after" a bit more than most, but at the ned of the day you're right. They are not the most fuel efficient. For anyone who questions the 1JZ conversion and the cost, the thing is awesome and the fuel economy is BETTER than th 7M (considering the vintage of these engines, this should not be surprising). I run an auto, so this SHOULD be worse than the manual, but if I can pull half a ton of trailer (all up approx. 2 ton) and still get around 9 to the litre, then why wouldn't you.

I have read a lot about this conversion over the last few years, and while you can build an absolute killer, my car is everything that I want. Kid taxi, long distance transit (2300km's in 24 hrs) and freely rev's to the 7500 rpm rev limiter. with constant heavy loading and frequent excursions to ht e high side of 7k rpm I would expect the fuel efficiency to be CRAP. BTW I still use the standard fuel pump and this thing is no where near leaning!
