August 29th, 2010 11:25 PM #12Hello there. I think we have the same problem. I drive a '94 Nissan Sentra LEC. Recently, I had to replace my distributor since the car would not start. When it was replaced, had to see a mechanic again since the car's performance is sluggish. According to him, kapag pinalitan ang distributor, kailangan din syang i-tono. The performance became excellent (better than before) but I started emitting thick white smoke (para syang usok ng dalawang tricyle). That's when my fuel consumption started to increase. Before, I can log in around 10km to a liter. It became something like 5 or 6. I was advise by the mechanic for an engine overhaul and at the same time, replacement of the timing chain. The smoke is now gone, but my fuel consumption is some what the same. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

I recently started using a B13 1.4L as an extra car. At first we would get a dismal 7km/L in city driving. We overhauled the carb, tuned-up the engine (change plugs, adjusted the timing and idling). We now do 10km/L mixed with a driving style of driving with a light foot, having the A/C set at half and shifting as early as possible without "stressing" the engine.
Also pondering on doing a carb LPG swap (was quoted around 16K i think) but it still depends on whether we decide to use this car more often or not.

True, however my daily drive (Altis) is also on LPG.
I've been using the B13 for coding, palengke, and foul weather (i-just-washed-and-waxed-my-other-ride-and-don't-want-it-to-get-wet) duties. If we do continue to fix it up (just love the tons of surplus goodies available for this car) and my brother decides to make it his daily drive then we might do that (and keep his 6 cylinder ride as a weekend car).

November 8th, 2010 02:24 PM #18hello everyone. this is my first time to post here in tsikot although i'm a regular visitor and must say that i've learned quite a handful from the discussions. just recently, i bought a 2nd hand '97 nissan lec and would just like to know if an 8 to 10 km/l fuel mileage on highway driving is really normal for such a car? thanks...
