whats the deal with not being able to run less than a half tank of gas with a turbo setup on honda,.I keep reading about people cracking sleeves becuase of too little gas in the tank??am i reading this wrong,,Please correct me ..I plan on boosting my type r this winter and ide like this explained to me.THanks guys

 

i believe you are reading that wrong.. full tank, 1/2, 1/4 tank of gas will not hurt performance one bit, the reason people are crackin sleeves is because of a to lean of an A/f mix, and gettin detonation. so you dont have to worry about how much gas is in your, tank, just dont run it dry, and get air in the system

 

I have seen people say this on here before too. I was like WTF. Why would that matter

 

i think what you have read is that some people are worried that with the tank very low and boosted motors needing so much fuel, that fuel sloshing could lean the motor out. ive never really seen this happen but i guess some people are just paranoid. its not just hondas it could be any motor.

 

with some of the larger fuel pumps, they move so much fuel that if the tank doesn't have a lot of gas in it, the pump could catch an air bubble....bye bye motor

 

I think you guys are reading post about sumped gas tanks. With a Sumped gas tank, you dont have the baffles to keep the fuel from sloshing around...causing possible air in the fuel lines. So it's ideal to have over 1/4 tank full of fuel.

but my car started again.
and then i got it tuned.
and made 303 whp.

i think thats a little different that leaning the motor out due to lack of fuel
