How long does it take a healthy engine to fill a 500-600ml oil catch can?

That depends on how hard you drive it around corners...

[Marky]

It shouldnt ever fill it

Healthy engine will put out a bit of vapour mist but nothing more

If being tracked and / or a built motor with big clearances when cold, then it might breathe a bit more, but a street car motor shouldnt come close

as I running 440cc injectors an I stick 550cc injectors in will I use more gas even If I don\'t do any other modes?

[Kiwi_Fozze]

If the ecu is told that you have 550s, no

If stock ecu, it\'ll overfuel like a mofo

[QRAF]

ok so yes it\'ll over flow just thought I\'d get these 550cc ones for $100 and just safe guard my car from running out of gas. I just assumed what wasn\'t used would just be sent back to the tank

[Shiny Alex]

New here and changing the things I don\'t like.

I want to swap the ugly orange indicators for some nice chrome type ones but can\'t find any in Repco or SCA.

So is there any online NZ based sellers?

The extra fuel won\'t go back to the tank. It\'ll all go into the cylinders. All 25% extra of it. Mine spat awesome flames on overrun when I did it

(I.e. don\'t do it......)

Im thinking ECU to injector pulse width is based on original injector sizing - will o2 sensor feedback loop correct this at all? (Rich signal sent to ECU to lean off by reducing injector pulse width?) im guessing open loop fuelling will be screwed as explained

[Koom]

Marginally at best. Some people have reported it working for them. All I saw was a tonne of smoke, a bit of a flame thrower and some washed bores.

[Marky]

It will attempt to but as above don\'t even bother

Some cars can do it (adjust over time via closed loop) - but not soobydoos, it might get close eventually but will end up not "safer" as such, just running a bit weird and slower before

Best analogy would be if you had a 1l bottle of water, which you used to measure out 1l of water every hour. If someone went and replaced it with a 1.1l bottle and you had no real way to monitor it, you\'d just be wasting water and not picking it up for quite a while, and then you\'d end up not being accurate anyway

I found putting yellows in a grey injector car caused it to cut higher in the rev range and not go as hard, there is also the black smoke on WOT too

[QRAF]

glad i asked.
