E85 Fuel Setup

[PJ.]

I was running dual maps for a time, but it just isn't the same. I'd rather carry spare E85 than cruise on 98.

Yeah mate, def a popular item

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 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.
