I am really interested in using alcohol fuel in my Drag Hatch. Will be a turbocharged 1.8L DOHC engine. Anyone using it already in their cars let me know need some help to get me started.!!!!!!

 

our civic runs on meth, just make sure you have a good fuel system, something double of what you would need for gas

 

if you are going to run meth then make sure you use some good pumps like weldon along with a meth compatible regulator. and some big injectors to match.

 

You need 2 1600cc injectors per cylinder and big fuel pump at a minimum. An ignition that can fire a 5-1 mixture is also needed.

 

we are running 8x1600cc injectors with a aeromotive belt driven fuel pump.the more fuel pressure the better.

 

go big with everything, you cant have too much fuel. Youll eat so much fuel youll be wondering how it ever went through the engine. 8 x 1600 is the minimum.

 

I have 4/1200 cc on my all motor..... k?A

use the waterman fuel pump to the cam sprocket or if your going dry-sump run a mechanical of the pump, it will be the best set-up for your meth....

 

very interesting

more...............

 

Yes more more please your opinions and facts are very helpful...

 

we used 8 1600cc inj. and 2 Weldon 2035a's, now were switching to a manual pump with a vacume pump all in 1

I think he did. i went down there yesterday after they were messing with it and it sounded mean as hell. thats gonna be a monster of a car.

 

How about maintanece on the whole fuel system and motor?

 

damn thats a lot of fuel o:

 

just drain fuel (meth) then cycle regular fuel and leave it in until next event then same process, and have your inj... checked every other race.i never had any fuel problems with this process.

 

Thank you for that tip will keep that in mind....but still wondering what comp. do meth people run and then tuning process is it the same with any other EMS even the best brand of EMS to run.

 

why do you guys decide to run methanol instead of ethanol? with the ethanol you dont have to go through the fuel drain process and i believe (i may very well be wrong here) that u can make the same amount of power with methanol.

Yeah Earl we got it running, we were planning on going to a few local test and tunes this weekend but there are a couple of things to be worked out first. The problem was the ignition dwell was too short.

any info on this?

 

We run Ethanol and it is easy to work with! We do not have to drain the fuel system after each race but for the work involved run Meth it makes more power and runs cooler.
