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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
