Hello everyone,

I've got a question I was hoping you could help me with. I'm doing engine testing on a D16Y8 VETCH engine out of a 1998 Acura EL, which is extremely similar to a Honda Civic SI as far as I know (I posted here since I figured there would be more info on Civics). I need to size a fuel tank that will be used inside our test cell and to do that, I need to find a BSFC map. I'm assuming a maximum engine speed of 4500 rpm with a max test length of 30 minutes, so using those parameters I was going to take the information from the BSFC curve and calculate how much gas would be used for a test like that to try to size my fuel tank. I've looked all over and called a few dealerships, but I've had no luck whatsoever. If anybody has any information or any suggestions, I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance!

 

I would say 1 gallon or less...those motors get 30+mpg easy
