Symptons of too much alky?

[fullahotair]

Just curious as to what the symptons are when you are spraying too much alky? power loss? sluggish? high/low exhaust temps? none?


Thanks,

I have razor's kit. I am not experiencing any issues or anything, but was just wondering what the symptons were. I know the way to check is to turn down the alky until you get some knock, and then bump it up to get rid of it....

So it sounds if you get some bogging it could be a sign of too much alky...


Thanks,

The symptom is more horsepower

You could run 100% methanol as a fuel and make significantly more power than if you ran gasoline.

I do think what you are asking is what is the result of running an overly rich mixture as a result of excessive added fuel via the alcohol injection kit.

When that happens you have the same result as any overly rich mixture which is decreased performance.

The easiest way to know is with a wideband o2. A wideband should be mandatory on these cars, I don't know why so many still don't have one.
