1JZGTE MPG Q's
I may do a 1JZGTE swap soon, just wondering what average Gas Milage is. Im currently getting 18-21 MPG in my 92 300 Auto. Also, would there be any functions I would lose? Such as AC, or PS ?
Planning on running the 1JZGTE stock, including stock exhaust.

You shouldn't lost anything when fitting the 1JZ in.
For the record my car does about 13L/100km in normal driving on 98RON fuel and about 8~9L/100km on the highway (cruise control on, aircon on, slightly oversized tyres and 3.5hr trip).

As long as I don't keep my foot in it, I get about 24 mpg on the freeway...slightly better than the 2JZ I had in there before. This is with the 5-speed. If I'm having fun with the throttle, around town I get about 17 mpg.
Both my PS and AC work after the swap.

they have their own way of measuring octane and mpg)

my oxygen sensor probably needs to be replaced, but i get around 20 mpg on the highway and anywhere between 14 to 16 in the city with my 1jz and my car is a 5 speed. are you guys like always staying out of the boost?

Have you even hooked up a wideband and driven your SC around? I have...at cruising, I'm getting 14.6ish AFRs, indicating that the O2 is working within an acceptable range. And I get about 24 mpg. Maybe there's special gas in Florida.
I'd bet your speedo is off.

You're contradicting yourself...when in boost, the 1JZ ECU will completely ignore the O2 sensor output anyway and go dead rich. So unless you've got a standalone, you'd get worse gas mileage than a SC300 with a bad O2 sensor by driving around in boost. Nevermind the timing that gets pulled the moment you see boost...but I won't get into that.

Okay now we've got the basics out of the way. The speed-density management scheme on the 1JZ is pretty simple and similar to other speed-density systems in use. When engine load (which to the ECU is RPM & MAP based) reaches a certain threshold, the engine will go from closed loop into open loop. With a turbocharged car you CANNOT run closed loop while in boost. The narrow-band O2 sensor that the 1JZ employs is incapable of being accurate at anything other than stoichiometric (that's 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel). To put it simply...the moment your 1JZ is in boost, the ECU is no longer "listening" to the O2 sensor, and is relying on safe Toyota-quality fuel ratios to make sure that your 1JZ will provide years and years of trouble-free boosting.
So I say again, if you're getting 20 mpg while driving around in boost, another 1JZ will do the same. The O2 sensor isn't even part of the equation when boost is involved.
