Hi Guys
I come over from the turbo mustangs forum, this site has been highly reccomended for information on Methanol Injection.
I know Im not running a Turbo Buick but just looking for some feed back on what I am doing.
I run a 91 mustang 302 5.0 parts are as follow
stock cam and short block @ 9.2 compression shifting at 5500 RPM
Afr 185 cylinder heads
Holley intake with 50 lb per hour injectors
Home built twin T-3 garret turbo setup (.60/.63) @ 13 psi
Treadstone Bar and Plate vertical flow intercooler.
Built Automatic with 3.27 gears and 2800 stall PTC converter
Devils Own Methanol Injection kit with M12 Nozzle @150 psi pressure
Mega Squirt engine managment with Inovate LC-1 Wideband
Best Quarter mile run to date is 10.68 ET @ 128 MPH without the METHANOL
This is with 13 psi and timing @ 20 degrees at max boost on 94 octane fuel
Air temperatures after the cooler were around the 140 degrees F
I have since had my torque converter tightned up which puts significantly
more load on the engine which only allows me to run a total of 15 degree max
ignition timing before I can hear detonation.
Now its time to put a methanol injection kit on the car
I used the caculator on the Devils own to determine I needed the M12 nozzle
for my car. (302 CU Inch, 5500RPM @15 psi)
I am using the -40 degree celsius winshield washer fluid which according to
what I have read on this site is 50% methanol.
Now with the pump activated and spraying washer fluid I was able to get
the timing advanced to 23 degrees with 13 PSI of boost and an A/F ratio of 11:1 Also something worth noting is that the Air Intake temps did not really drop at all. It was still in the 140 F range. But I think the added ignition timing would require more airflow from the turbos which would bring the temperature up.
I cant push it any farther than this without hearing detonation.
My goal is to run pump gas (94 octane) @ 15-16 PSI with 25 degrees of
igntion timing.
Is running washer fluid my problem here???
Would I be able to push it any farther by using a 50/50 mix of actual
methanol????
Or would I be better to use straight methanol?????
Does my goal sound attainable????
Thanks in Advance
