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.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
