    NOS injection on a propane engine

    Nitrous and propane have is being use together in diesel engines to improve performance. I just don't no how you would control the mix of the two gases to maintain control of the combustion. BULLIE DOG is the company that has that combination for diesel engine

    Idle Vaccum, Copper head gasket leack?

    You most likely have a crack in the head or the block have it magnaflux inspected for cracks. O-ringing the head is ok for high compression engine but you still need to use a gasket to seal all the other part like water jackets. Silicone is not a substitute for a good gasket. Silicone and modern...

    liquid chemical supercharging

    Water injection can be used it cools the charge and if a small amount is use the water will increase the explosive charge of the fuel being used. There are many systems on the market today.

    Reverse cooling - how to?

    Remember guys he wanted to reverse the water flow this was not a study of energy consumption! The belt maybe 90% effective but you have the drag of the impellers in the water which steals HP from the engine the electric pump is a constant load if you have a concern with the power of the...

    Vapor Lock Parameters?

    I had a car with the same problem but it would lock at 100F. I tried new regulators and fuel line and it still would lock at 100F. It turned out that the Borg Warner pump that I had did not have enough head pressure to over come the tank pressure on the reticulation of fuel causing a lock while...

    Reverse cooling - how to?

    Use an electric water pump that is a two fold plus you save the HP of not have to drive the pump with a belt and you can flow the water in the direction that you are looking for. The reverse flow is a good way to help in detonation. Electric water pumps have come a long way and they are reliable.

    Fuel Temperature

    I have done some DOE's on just this point. I was monetoring the fuel pressure and fuel temperature of a product supercharged engine at our local drag strip. The results of the DOE showed allot more then temperature and pressure where a factor in the performance of the engine. But a fuel pressure...

    Fuel Temperature

    No you do not what to preheat your fuel that will start pre ignition and reduce Horse Power. Cooling the fuel as much as possible is the best thing you can do.
