Fuel mileage from a gasser?

[Feds]

PS. do you know what type of turbo would fit my engine? Need that on my wish list!

Any turbo will fit, it's just the exhaust manifold you need to make fit the turbo. I might be tricky finding a turbo manifold for your engine. Civics and 240sx etc get turbos put on them all the time, so there are a few aftermarket companies that make manifolds. Otherwise you need a fab shop to make one. I'd look for a t25 from a 300zx or 180sx. They are common and cheap ($200).
But putting a turbo on a vehicle is a major procedure, it's not just bolting it on. You need oil feed and return lines, intercooler and piping, bigger fuel pump (sometimes) and a way to regulate fuel, so you can feed it more gas, as it builds boost. There are lots of ways to do that, some cheap and easy like a SAFC, but if you do it wrong, you blow your engine up. Unless you can find someone that had done a turbo on a engine like yours, and learn from how they did it, you'd be doing a lot of figuring stuff out on your own, which can be challenging to say the least.

If you're getting 450kms to a 65L tank, that's pretty sad. That's like 14.5L/100km. From what I've read, that's worse than the V6. Mind you, I guess not everyone drives their van like a race car.

Or buy a turbo Eclipse/talon on the cheap. All the top-end parts should bolt up, plus you have a pre-tuned ECU.

X2 or swap the motor
Custom piping to a intercooler where the rear ac is( remove ac) and run a pull fan!
