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.

    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
    • Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?
    • Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
