I have a guy locally that could make me one so I can try it out.

Re: New guy, new build
There is no fuel going through that 'Y'. How will that help with atomizing the fuel ?

He is spraying methanol though. Thinking it's not feeding each cylinder consistently. It's a stretch, but at this point it's cheaper than replacing the turbo in this battle for cooler charge temps.

Re: New guy, new build
Just an update but I got my water meth working MUCH better! this is a 3rd/4th gear pull in 75 degree ambient and it was about 90 going into the motor. The W/M is working so well the temps actually started to come down!

and this is an old log

Re: New guy, new build
Yeah...that's much better.......You are running a little rich on boost though.
I'd shoot for about 12.0:1 maybe 11.5 at the richest and see what your power feels like. 10.78:1 is really too rich and it might run better if you lean it out a bit.
Just go slow and see if you feel any difference.
125*F. IAT's aren't too bad at 14 lbs. but there is room for improvement if you tweak your system a bit. Just remember that the more hp your engine makes the more W/M you will need to add.
That is why I run a staged 2 nozzle system.

yeah ive been leaning it out more. It was pig rich because of the added meth that was spraying for im slowly leaning out the fuel tableClonebug wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 9:56 pm Yeah...that's much better.......You are running a little rich on boost though.

Re: New guy, new build
it was a relay or ground issue. I tried testing it and it would only turn on for 2 seconds then it would just buzz and stop working. Which is weird because I tested it for 1 minute strait right when i finishing up my car to test the flow of my nozzle but it mustve stopped working right after that because ive never had temps this cool
