Mods: full bolt'ons, fp red


Some q's:

1- considering to run 100% alky (no water), only thing i can find here is isopropanol, would this be ok??

2- wt's the max alky to fuel ratio i can run? possible to go upto 50/50?? max air flow with my setup would be 55 lb/min (probably less)

3- From what i understand, you can connect the injector signal to the HFS-5, meaning that you'll have the same alky/fuel ratio (+/- some fluctuation due to different manifold pressure) throughout the rpm range (all you have to do is pick the right nozzle size), is that right?

Plz share your thoughts/comments

Tks

Thank you for considering Aquamist.

Answers to your questions in brief:

1- If possible avoid isopropanol, I read this article that this alcohol is not good for this application. If methanol is not available, try de-natured ethanol from: http://www.brenntag.be/ (Belgium)

Article about iso-P.

2- It is possible to run to 30% without too much mapping problem. Beyond this, you need a full blown ECU to manage the alcohol. plus return ti tank pressure regulator.

3- Yes.
