Update on this for those who asked for it. Car made a very responsive 332rwkw with the normal road tyres on the same dyno. That is 17kw up on the semi's. Tip for anyone using semi's - don't use them on the dyno unless you want to have chunks torn out of them and make less visible power!!!!

good result, how much boost was it running and what ebc?

Boost spikes to 22psi, before tapering down to 20psi, using a Greddy Profec B. Best way we could control it given the shitty HKS actuators - jap is not always best it would seem... Sent you the dyno sheets, makes 280rwkw by 4800ish which is really sweet on the street.

i know this may not be relavent but hot 4s or pi or something did a replacement fuel one day for it.

it was using methanol instead of ethanol and they used less methanol in fact a 40% petrol and the rest was methanol.

it could take more timing and made more power with the same setup maybe 10/20 kw over e85.

just again 60% methanol and 40% petrol and it wont eat through any thing but it can only be home made.

^^ 60% is enough to be corrosive.... especially if left to sit, it was called MD60 (Martin Donnon 60% meth)

he post on here and is a wealth of information, may be worth sending him a pm asking how safe it is.... im sure he will say not so safe (good for power though).

It's not so safe breathing the exhausted gasses from a methanol car in a dyno cell!!! Use a reperator with an organic vapor filter at minimum.

Is there a corrosion inhibitor additive available to the public yet?

I'd like to find out what fuelcontroll use in Sucrogen that makes it so less corrosive.

Justin.

Justin i am currently using "md60" and added the vp additive. about $30 a bottle.

VP M2 Additive for Methanol

M2â„¢ Upper Lube

Leaves a thin film of lubrication to protect against corrosion between races. Protects valves, guides, cylinder walls, fuel pumps, and aluminum fuel systems for methanol powered engines. Extends pump life. Virtually eliminates white powder residue from the interaction of Methanol and aluminum fittings. Allows fuel to be left in fuel lines for longer than normal. Does not alter the tune of the vehicle, nor block any fine nozzles for mechanical injection. Not recomended for use with Rotary vehicles. Can be mixed with other oils in historic motorcycles.

Reports back from most racers, especially smaller capacity engines, is decreased engine wear, especially on piston rings. Use of this additive can mean the difference between 1 engine or 3 engine overhauls in the same season. One bottle treats 200 litres of Methanol.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
