VTEC and Full tank of petrol

[TRUMAN]

just curious.... a full tank of petrol + giving the car some vtec.. would that have any affect on ur motor or anythings? slower????

[SPEEDCORE]

What exactly are you wanting to know? :confused:

[bennjamin]

The car will be slower only because of extra weight from teh extra fuel.
Did you think extra fuel in the tank would mean more fuel in VTEC ?

erm yeah what do you want to know?

you talking about overfilling the tank and its effects on the engine? or the added weight of a full tank of petrol.

First one = ok as the fuel cover has a pressure release (just don't over-overfill)
Second one = i assume a full tank of petrol is around 50l = 50KG. thats nothing. having another passenger or slightly bigger wheels is worse

LOL!!!!!!!!!!

umz.. i dont think vtec would do anything negative to ur engine.. its built that way. but ummz.. full tank = more vtecing and distance to cover

i think what hes trying to say is would ur car be slower with a full tank when ur vtecing it... its obvious that if u have more petrol mean more weight so ur car would be a bit slower but i highly doubt you would notice it from half a tank and a full tank.

1L of petrol equates to about .8kg.

Vtec is so hektic and ohh so powahful

I vtec it around da boyz juz ta prov I iz da shiz homie.
Werd.

do a test, find out and report back to us.

i notice a small difference in performance when i've got a full tank and when it's down to the last 1/4, nothing major though, just that with less weight obviouslt it will go a bit easier, not faster. Only way to find out is down a quater mile

[dsp26]

^^^ i asked a few people this before... especially with overfilling a bit to round up $ after the pump click... i'm pretty sure it raises fuel pressure a tad...

[EuroDude]

Dont know about u but I find that the engine actually performs better with a full tank of fuel, probably because there is more pressure in the fuel tank, which results in more fuel or more pressured fuel entering the cylinders.

i actually find it performing better when i run on the fuel light
then just fill up half a tank of bp's 98
i find it more responsive then pouring a full tank never the less
diff motor's diff prefrences

and to truman a full tank of petrol would not lose overall power
there would be a tiny difference, but nothing that would destroy your motor etc

well the petrol would be extra weight in the car... the engine would have 2 work slightly to be compensate for the extra weight...

Have to agree with you mate. Feels slightly smoother and picks up better. Or could be bcoz i see ive got more fuel, and i floor it more lol.

yeh, wen im low in petrol i drive like a granny...

as soon as fill my tank i cane the shit outta my car...
