280z: Turbocharged, Megasquirt efi, 7.8:1 compression, currently running 15 psi but after the methanol i will crank it up some more (20-24)
Questions: What are the pros and cons of running straight methanol on my 280z as far as cooling and fueling are concerned? Does running straight methanol require different fittings or lines? any info on this would be appreciated. Also i like the idea of a direct port set up but im not sure D.O. has nozzles small enough for my application. The car will be making around 350-400rwhp with the boost around 20-22.
Any info on the straight methanol, direct port pros and cons, etc would be appreciated.
Just ordered my Devils own kit yesterday! Found it on Ebay for a steal and its still new and in the box.
My ems runs off of a 3bar map daddy sensor so im still not sure if i will need an additional sensor or not? |
Our kits are designed to 100% methanol all day long. Every car is different, some like a mix some like grand nationals like it strait. It all depends on the vehicle, You can start with 50/50 and work your way up or down from there.
we carry M1 nozzles for are smallest size, but direct port is really not needed on most vehicles especially anything under 700hp hp. Newer engines are computer designed so their intake tacks mix the air very well to get it to the cylinders equally.
If you got a progressive system and the map sensor is of a GM scale the the controller will function just fine with that.
