Default Would U? Trade 2jz na-t for stock 2jz-gte

This thought has crossed my mind lately so I wanted to hear other people's opinions about it. So I have a 92 SC300 na-t with a t67 running good and making decent power(450+ hp)....tranny limited(w58). i love my car a lot. Thing is I drive the car daily to work and it's about 50miles a day so I spend quite a bit on gas and so far the car is reliable but who knows what's gonna happen down the line with all this miles adding up(between 250-300 a week). So it has crossed my mind to trade my SC for another SC with a GTE w/BPU since boosting is what they were made for so I'm sure reliability isn't an issue. What mpg do u guys with GTE's get? Let me know what u guys think. Here's a a pic of the car.

Only if the one you are trading for is as clean as yours.

If you plan on commuting that far for a while, that might be the better bet for you. On my old 1jzgte setup i got average 21mpg. If the car you are trading with is clean, that wouldn't be so bad.

Is buying a daily out of the option?

True true. A beater isn't out of the question. Just wanted to hear CL opinions first.

what are you using for fuel management

when i was using map ecu piggyback my mpg was horrid among other things , since going aem and getting it tuned by a real pro i actually get around 28mpg on hwy off boost of course and going in and out of boost around 22mpg avg ( and i have 2 pumps , large line from tank to -10 sized fuel rail and 750cc inj)

its all in the tune

if you are not on standalone , i would suggest considering it instead of starting over for a na-t on aem with proper components is quite lethal on the streets

I'm on haltech e6x tuned by alpha, 750cc injectors and a walboro 255. He tuned it the best he could but it still runs rich at idle. 11.0 at idle....pig rich. But higway cruising in vacuum ranges btw 13 and 15 dep on rpms but mainly stays in the 13's. What's ur respective afr's? I get about 280miles to a tank.

idk how an R154 might change that gas mileage, but i think it would help a little better than the W58. Taller gears, less rpm at higher speeds. I would throw that in instead.
