I may sale my car soon, because i'm wanting to get a truck. I'm hoping to get an s10 2.2 4 cylinder automatic. My question is...I want 20's on it. How much will that hurt gas mileage? And how much would a cold air intake on an s10 help gas mileage?

Help is very appreciated.
Thanks!

it wont totally kill ure gas but rollin 20's on a 2.2 is goin to be death good luck makin it up hills lol if i was u i would go head and get the 4.3 they are better and u wont have any problems good luck on ure project man i miss my s dime

 

[Ricer_DX]

Yeah, i would get a 4.3, but they only get like 17 mpg around town. I thought I might could get around 22mpg with the 2.2. And, yeah the 2.2 is SLOW to start with, 20's won't help. :mrgreen:

lol me and three freinds were goin to morris town in east tn to a car show and my we wanted to kill our freind with his 2.2 cuz when we started at the bottom of the mountains we would be goin 80-90 and when we started goin up them he slowed down to about 60 lol i was like damn

haha :lol:

Would a Flowmaster help with gas mileage? I don't know much about cars mechanically. But, i think exhaust is suppose to help with gas mileage.

s-dimes look killer on 20s i would go 4.3 as well, a buddy of mine had a 4 banger and rolled 20s and stared havin trany problems and im from arkansas theres lots of hills there, the 4.3 trany can hold lot better on 20s you can bolt a 350 strait to a trany that came off a 4.3 so yeah....

if ur going to git a s10 git a 4.3 thers manny resons like 2.2 are crap thay love to blow head gaskets crap the motor was manly dezined for a cavie and 4.3's dont git that bad gas milleg shit the ex wiffies got 18mpg in her 4wd with 4.10 gears its all in how you drive it and ull git better gas milleg out of the 4.3 in the long run because it wont haft to work as hard to go up hills or start moving or any thang else but hay you never lossin to me any ways do what you wont

 

[Ricer_DX]

Ok, I would like the extra power of a 4.3. But, i wouldn't consider there to be alot of hills around where i drive. Thanks for the advice guys. 8)

it really ant the horse power that helps you its the tork and the 2.2 is going to haft to stugle any ways as far as DD exspecly with 20"s what it wont be any problem with the 4.3 and in the rezuly youll haft to run the piss out of ur 2.2 when you can have the 4.3 and probly end up giting close if not better gas mileg

 

[Ricer_DX]

Yeah, I understand what you are saying. I may end up just keeping my honda and de-ricing it abit. :wink: If i keep it i'm planning on putting a carbon fiber hood on, and hopefully lower it a little with coilovers.

Sell that hood son.... so you'll be able to get that CF Hood.

 

[Ricer_DX]

I can get a cf hood, but i just been wanting a bagged minitruck. I think i will go with the evo style CF hood.

I had 20's on my S10 for a lil while and it barely did anything gas wise. Your Turning radius is gonna suck cuz the tires will rub.

lol I thought you said you were de-ricing it

 

[Ricer_DX]

I have a beat-to-hell, bone stock 1994 S-10 long-bed with a 4.3 that has 190k miles on it, that will get 22-23 mpg highway, if you do the speed limit.

Do the speed limit, roll away and slowly accelerate from stops and take care of basic maintenance, and you wil get over 20mpg out of a 4.3 in a S-10.
