    Ignition timing for Methanol vs Gasoline

    Well we ended up making 1070hp to the wheels through a TH400 transmission. The problem now is that we are having a hell of a time finding a torque converter that will allow us to stall at 5500. So now it looks like we will need to throw a 225 shot of nitrous at it to get it to launch...

    Ignition timing for Methanol vs Gasoline

    A/F was fine as we have logged every pass that was made with the car whether it be on the dyno, or track.

    Ignition timing for Methanol vs Gasoline

    You have to multiply .65 by Methanol's stoich A/F ratio which is 6.4 .65*6.4 = 4.16 You are thinking of gasoline's stoich A/F ratio. What I really need to know is what type of additional timing we can add with the methanol vs. Gasoline. Is there a rule of thumb like: with methanol you can add...

    Ignition timing for Methanol vs Gasoline

    We are waiting to get the car back before we can tear into the engine, as it is currently getting a new intercooler installed. We definately are not experiencing a lean condition as our datalogs showed that we were tuned at about 0.65 lambda. This is a turbocharged car. For reference we also...

    Ignition timing for Methanol vs Gasoline

    We are running the stock Toyota head gasket, but I am aware of other people that are running the same gasket on methanol with no problems. The head studs are stock sized (7/16" I believe) but were upgraded to ARPs L19 material. The timing was about 6 degrees advanced at 40 psi and 8500 RPM...

    Ignition timing for Methanol vs Gasoline

    My company has recently built a drag car that uses methanol fueling and high boost pressure. We are having some problems with burning through the head gasket, which I believe is due to an over conservative timing map. Some info on the engine are: 3 liter of displacement (Toyota 2JZGTE), 40+ psi...

    Advice for Methanol race car

    I currently have a turbocharged 6 cylinder methabol race car that I am having problems with pre-ignition on. We have seen instances where the engine will pre-ignite and cause the head gasket to be damaged between cylinders. Does anyone know an effective way to combat pre-igntion? Also, could the...
