Default hmm ethanol

I know that ethanol is gonna be banned next season in nhra quick class comp but I was just thinking about running it now on my current motor and set my spare alcohol motor (in process) aside till i get the hang of this motor i realize that its gonna be hard to hit up all the races next season but i just wanna go out there around the local and state area tracks and lay down some numbers just to have Fun and go fast which is what ive wanted to do intially to the car and not be worried about class rules which i think there are way to many . maybe mid season ill change my mind but just for now what do you guys think thanks : -Pdang

Ethanol is kinda toxic. It's also very VERY combustable not to mention flammable certainly doesn't sound like something I'd wanna even bother with if they are removing it from competition. Also, when you have everything for it who's gonna buy when it's not legal to use in the rules, you would not be able to compete. I'm still a little curious on the setup of something like this s it the same as the domestic or no? anyone got any info and I did a search already.

hondaswaper I currently have 4 bosch 1600cc inj. pushed by a weldon pump filtered through a sx fuel filter with metal filiment , and a weldon fuel regulator .
The engine managment system is motec M4 which only drives 4 inj. sequitially . Im not gonna say I was mislead by Javier when buying this system when asking him if it can drive 8 injectors it can . But just not how I wanted it to , it would be easier for me just to wire up four more additional 96lbs injectors and run it off a rpm activated switch than it would for me to do anything else( per advice of Bob the man in charge of tunning my car-tony any input ? ) , Or could just take my loses and get the M48 which really isnt what I want to do at the current time . so thats my setup im more than ready to run alcohol just not to sure how my engine management would go about tunning it thats all really thats got my panties in a rut . Another thing if you guys can help me out I have a custom intake manifold from jg for the h22a the old design before the victor x and I need four more additional injectors welded on anbody know anyone that can get it done with the rail mounting ? I was thinking aobut sending it to jg , they said 350 plus the new rail but latley they havent been answering there phones againg which just makes me a little cautioous before sendin it back to them (it toke forever to get it in the first place ) tony maybe you can help me out on that one-aite guys thats the delima hope you can help me out thanks -Pdang

you can run a second bank of injectors but it will only be semi seq. Kinda like bank to bank and seq...I think that would be easier then bringing them on how you stated above.

what weldon pump do you have?? the 20-25 ?? if you do you will need to get another one to run methanol on a 4 injector setup............PM me for more info.........

Lisa Kubo made around 750whp on 4 injectors and a speedpro with methanol.........

you need the 2035 model.. the super big one.. I opted out on the weldon setups now trying the venom style of fuel setup since they are cost effective.

ACtually lisa is now running 5 injectors setup one injector is controlled through the msd rpm switch..
