taking my GFs car to the track tom. night .

specs are:
homemade kit log manifold
garrett to4b s-trim turbo with .48 turbine
non-intercooled 6lbs running water/meth injection
1 gallon of toluene with 7 gallons of 93 octane

looking for 13.99 , do u think its possible ?

 

Get some pictures man.....and good luck!!!

 

My guess is mid 14s, with good traction 13s are possible

 

Have you run with that fuel mixture before?

 

traction is usually good out there .


no I havent ran this fuel mix before , why do u ask ?

 

how do you like the water/methyl? do you see any cons, all anyone talks about is how great it is...

 

watching, and good luck!

 

I like it , the only issue I have is that I cant advance my timing , so it only acts as a cooler and not a way to run more timing .

 

Just wondering how that Toluene addition is going to run. Let me know how that goes ok?

why dont you go with an fmic of a charge cooler?

 

Straight T4! Good job


Post up your slip when you're back

 

sorry i didnt specify , it is a t3/t4 .48 a/r t3 turbine

the reason I didnt go FMIC is because this is my GFs car and dont want the complex design to keep me working on her car " I have my own turbo and s/c trucks to keep me busy"

I added the toluene to 9-10 gallons of 93 oct. so my octane rightnow is 95+ whatever the methanol is bumping it to . I am trying to keep the knock sensor from having to pull timing .

 

How hard is it to find toluene?

 

^^ go to a paint supply store , its pretty expensive tho .

 

oh well , test n tune is cancelled do to rain , I guess it will be next wed. and another 17 dollars of toluene .

 

is the methyl good for a daily driver?

 

toluene mix for 103 octane is for every 3 gallons of 93 one gallonof toluene. it can be found at sherwin williams. what mix are you doing with the water methyl? what %? adding the water injection you could run more boost what are your afr's

 

actually I think it would be 98 octane . I am running 35% methanol .

blktc05 , running methanol on a daily driver is good for a daily driver , i dont know exactly what u are tryin to campare it to though .

 

well i know that you have to refill the resevour all the time and i wasnt sure if that was very cost effective. im compairing it to the pwr inline chargecooler. i really dont want an fmic and if i dont have to i dont want to have to plumb anything. i just need some cooling for my boost!

 

well the PWR would definately be more efficient for cooling the charged air , but I am also using this as a supplemental fuel source . I go through a gallon of washerfluid once every 2.5 weeks which is about $1.50 . so it isnt very bad I dont think . plus it keeps the carbon buildup from being created in the engine .
