Frankie, that's what my laptop is for (for switching from a "E85" map to a "gasoline" map in Nistune)...I've never been too crazy about about water/meth injection systems which I would have to rely on another pump/resevoir, but it seems that there are more and more failsafes available now...idk - maybe i need to warm up to them more.fos240 wrote:i would do this over running e85 all the time. what happens if you drive the car somewhere they don't have e85. (like where i live. lol)

klattr, quit beeing a sisssy!!!! im tellin you, the meth kits are getting to be pretty safe nowadays, and there are plenty of fail safes built in, i would do it in a heart beat!!
by the way, did you get your idle anybetter?
i know i told you that i wasnt using iacv or anything, but i switched back to it, and it made my car idle and start farrrr better than it was in cold weather, just somthin to think about

For a car with a nice sized intercooler, absolutely not. E85 is a great fuel and will support huge amounts of power safely, more than pump + water/meth.rn240sx wrote:is this methanol kit better than running full E85 100% of the time..??all shal perrish wrote:the meth kits are getting to be pretty safe nowadays
Now, a supercharged car with no intercooler is a much harder decision. Water injection will cool the charge better than e85. Which one is better for this application? Thats a good question lol. I, like eviltom, don't like the fact that water/meth is a secondary system which gives more chances for failure.

Ok I understand the physical difference between the turbo and supercharger... And I know both introduce mad amounts of air into the motor but why are they so different when it comes to using the right type or mix of fuel... ??Kfred wrote:For a car with a nice sized intercooler, absolutely not.

yes, when you live far enough away from a e85 station that it is not worth the hastle, and he isnt going to be making 700hp on that supercarger, i would go meth all the way for sure, infact, when i get paid here in 2-3 days im going to be getting my meth kit from aem and run that on 92 sure it isnt e85, but if he were to travle to were there is no e85, all he would have to do is throw some windsheild washer fluid in and be good to go, so yea, i think meth is the way to go for him, and as mentioned by kred its cooling proporties are AWSOME and being as he is running a supercharger with no intercooler there is massive amounts of heatrn240sx wrote:is this methanol kit better than running full E85 100% of the time..??all shal perrish wrote:the meth kits are getting to be pretty safe nowadays

When did Ryan sell this car to the current owner? I love the way this car was built, but do want to make sure the nico sale thread is legit.
