I thought you had plenty of corn juice pumps over there Amon, no ethanol near you?

Im inland a couple of hours from newcastle, and that being the closest place with e85, and my trips being long, and the cost on new ecu + bigger exhaust, injectors, fuel pump, tune etc this is my best and by far cheapest option

i'm no expert,you'll have to look it up, but i think once you mix them together, methanol lasts for a long time

or indefinitly, i thought it has a reaction when mixed with water I know it still f**king hurts in your eyes after 6 months in water..lol

by itself it doesn;t last long.

with a cdi i run water, but with stagea i had water, then 50/50, might go with 50/50 as ignition is

"maybe" not the best(splitfires coils and b@m new volt 18V ignition amplifier), decide when the time comes..

and what it tunes like

i hate mixing though, so might just try water first and if it makes 300rwkw on up to 23psi ish i'll be happy

cheers

I have a nitro powered hovercraft I made when I was in high school. I bought 10-15% nitro meth for it which lasted up to 6 months no problem. I just squeezed the air out before putting the lid back on.

I'm not planning on ever filling my tank to the top. Just enough for the occasional squirt and half full on track days and keep an eye on it.

I'm getting methanol free now from a mate who races sprintcars :) winning

I think the consensus was it's legal so long as you don't rely on it to pass emissions testing. I'd imagine the WM mix would have to be non flammable if stored in the boot as well.....

Im running a Aquamist HFS6 kit, with direct port injection in each runner of inlet manifold.

well i should not say running but have wired up a HFS6 car is still not on the road/running it is being put together

Keen to hear how it goes

  • 2 weeks later...

so i need to get a new kit but only want to spend under $500 delivered. I am leaning towards the snow stage 2 kit for $460 delivered, but i am after peoples opinions on what they would get for under $500?

the car is map sensor, running 17psi on stock motor making 290rwkw. Thanks if you guys can help as i am looking at purchasing in the next couple days.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
