Ok, I think I figured it out. Here is what I was thinking: You take two containers and fill one with 02 and one with fuel. You set them up with a 14.7:1 ratio of Air to fuel. Now if you could combust this and send it to a WB the reading would be 2.5v 14:7:1 right? Now, remove half the...

What A/F ratio do you guys target at full boost when you are running methanol injection? I have noticed that I can go quite a bit leaner than normal with alky injection, but I'm still a little confused about how the methanol impacts the WB 02 readings. Normal gas is most chemically...

quick update.. I did some more testing today with the new solenoid. It works great. I put a 300psi gauge on the system and the pump could push it right to the 300psi max when running full out with an m10. I also discovered that the solenoid needs its own isolated power source; don't...

I bypassed the regulator and lowered the voltage. It still surged slightly. I'm not talking about the major on off thing it does with the regulator. I'm talking about the natural surging/fluttering the diaphragm pump does as it makes each revolution. The intermediate tank eliminates any...

I wonder how much pressure it can handle.

Shurflow surge suppressor I started to setup my Shurflow system this weekend and decided I really did not like the surging. The diaphragm pump seems to surge slightly no matter how high the rpms are. I decided to experiment with a small intermediate tank to see if it would smooth things...

Wow, just did a quick test with the Shurflow pump. 12.3 v supply with pump regulator bypassed, 10 second run. This had a bigger shorter line than my test with the SMC pump. single m15 180ml(17.1 gal/hr). 80% more flow :eek: It pulled about 11amps. That think can pump!

Just got my Shurflow pump and it has a big red sticker on it that says "not for use with flammable liquids". Not exactly what I wanted to see. Does anyone have in insight on how safe it is to run pure alky with this thing. Has anyone heard of a mishap? Also, I was thinking about running...

Just thought I would add some data points. I did some test with my SMC kit the other day. I wanted to see what different nozzle configurations would yield. This was on a pretty new SMC kit with a long 4 foot line and the car not running. I tested with pure water and I’m sure there are some...

Thanks for the info. This actually helps. I'll go as big as I can (two m15s) and then dial back with the pump speed if it is too much. Here is one more stupid question. Has anyone tried freezing the alky and then insulating the tank, so it will already be real cold as it exits the nozzle? I...

OK, I'll try anything. But I do have on question. What's the max volume of alky that you run? What % of alky vs fuel. I would also be interested to hear what nozzle at what PSI and what injectors at what PSI. I'm just trying to figure out the optimal nozzle and pump configuration. I'm...

I understand some trial and error is required, but I was hoping to get some #s to base my new nozzle configuration on. Is there a generally accepted ratio target in terms of fuel vs alky/water?

I'm an ls1 guy, but I came here to learn more about alky/water injection because I know you guys have the most knowledge and experience around. I'm trying to figure out what the ideal amount of water alky is. I've heard many different #s and mixes and I want to see what you guys have found...
