I was reading through some SAE papers on water injection and found somthing that might explain why alky almost always works better than water for the intercooled TR. From SAE paper 1999-01-0568: This would explain why pure water works better for hot air motors and is less effective for...

Has anyone ever datalogged ACT's with nitrous? Im thinking about adding a 50 or 75 shot to help spool the turbo (hot air) and was wondering how much it will drop the ACT's.

How much more effective would the alky be if I were able to pull its temp way down before injecting it? Like putting the alky in the freezer over night, or packing the tank in ice etc. Anyone ever experimented with this?

Instead of injecting more and more alky and less and less gasoline like a lot of people are doing, why couldnt I just build a separate fuel system for alky that was activated under WOT? To completely shut off the gasoline to the injectors and supply them with 100% alcohol? You would need a...

With discharge temps around 250-275 which would suit me better? Just because the temps are lower with the alky does that automatically mean that it will be more effective at reducing knock than the propane at a higher discharge temp?

If my discharge temps are around 275+ roughly how many degrees would water/alch remove?

I know this isnt a Buick, but.... I have a Mustang with a Kenne Bell (Autorotor) supercharger on it. If I were to take a small turbo (or a cent blower) to "precharge" the KB what would happen? If the boost out of the turbo was kept down low, like 1-2 psi, what would be the effect on the...

How much pressure are propane regulators normally set at? The reason I ask is I have some really really nice medical oxygen regulators and tanks. Most of them are rated to a max flow of 8-15 liters per min and I just dont know if that would be enough. And I think I could even fill these...

I want to figure out how to calculate the intake charge temperature reduction for propane, water and nitrous oxide. Knock / detonation characteristics aside I still want to know how much each of these are reducing an intake charge temperature. If my research is correct (please correct me if...

I have an 89 mustang with a Kenne Bell (autoroter/whipple) 1500cc supercharger that will probably never produce more than 11-12 psi boost. I was originally planning on using a 75-100 shot of nitrous for a little cooling effect, I know that nitrous wont have near the cooling effect of water/alky...
