Take it to your tuner? Are you planning to just install the kit and adjusting your timing based on what someone on this forum tells you to set it at?

usually ign timing dont have to change alot depending on which type of gas you were using, the biggest difference is in the ammount of fuel

whats your compression ratio.

just the same with that of a race gas. afr goes as rich as 9s or 10s

are you using meth as the primary fuel? or added in the intake tract, like a Snow Performance kit, for intake charge cooling? this is what i am doing:

snow stage 1 kit with aquamist HSV, controlled off of the haltech SEM output for V-tec. the nozzle is right after the FMIC, 50/50 water and methanol injected for cooler/denser intake charge. will enable me to run more timing with less detonation, thereby equaling higher output with a cooler charge. more boost, so i could run a race gas map on pump gas essentially. previously 302whp on pump gas @ 18psi..... not dyno'ed yet for the meth changes....

good luck

i didnt read carefully.. you said methanol injection..

that **** sucks, just put race gas in it... one more thing to go wrong and kill your motor

I have the same opinion on that stuff. A lot of guys are running meth inj around here with a lot of success, but I always question it...why not just run race gas?

I guess i don't have much faith in the systems. If anything in the meth injection system fails, the motor is toast if it's tuned for meth injection. Not worth the risk in my opinion. Setup the motor properly for pump gas and run it at that. If you want more, put race gas in it.

What octane level do you achieve running pump and then injecting say...25% meth?

One of the RX7 guys here has a real nice setup he made at home that only sees high boost if it sees meth. I have been with him when his meth quits working or runs out, and it will not go over his pump boost level.

they make such things to safeguard against that situation, running out of meth/water mixture..... i am running the snow performance safeinjection with mine as well. if the SI reads a blockage, be it no more fluid, clogged nozzle, anything, it will dump boost via solenoid. you can have it totally safe for whatever purpose you need.

good luck.
