Sorry lol forgot you have a sump tank.... and yes the ms2 has provision for the e85 sensor, then yes we will need to set the e85 fuel table up. The table should have exactly the same curve, just higher numbers by about 30%
600 hp????So,...WTF?......You read all of the disclaimers out there on Summit's website that fuel pumps have now, and it looks like the fuel itself is what is getting hot because of the recirculation...my 200.00 pump evidently doesn't like that. All of Holley's fuel pumps have this disclaimer..
Like this one:
Looks like it should work,....It's expensive enough..
Until you read this junk..
Pump gas compatible for intermittent use, or under 90 degree ambient temperature use? 80 p.s.i at 18.5 VOLTS!!!! What do I have to do,...carry a mini reactor to run the pump?
If your target is 600 engine HP on E85, that pump is not big enough. At 500 engine HP, that pump is not big enough. You also have to get a larger regulator and a larger return line. I assume the fuel injectors are large enough.
Now just how is that "simple" solution? I can easily find e85, more so than straight non- E10/15 fuel. It's also easier to just plumb the thing for a water meth inj system thAn to find a marina every time I need gas.....your version of easy is much more of a pain in the ass than mine.Seems like the solution is simple....non ethenol fuel. Around here the marinas and some farm stores carry regular old 80s style plain gasoline...without the ethenol. That stuff wreaks havoc on everything that it touches. Especially, steal and rubber seals.
I buy mine from a farm store in VA every chance I get. The marinas fuel is about 3 bucks a gallon.
The secret question is: how much water/methanol do you inject?I agree Mike let's water inject our cars..
I have already assembled a list.
The secret question is: how much water/methanol do you inject?
How do you control the process?
Is it boost pressure, inlet air temp, throttle opening, RPM or a combination of 2 or more of these variables?
In our case I would set the parameters in tuner studio to inject based on kpa and possibly mat temps... since the megasquirt has multiple i/o I can program the output to trigger a relay.
Then the question of how much, based on manufacturer info I think the 5gph nozzles are a good starting point.
I know you are using a cheapy manual boost controller-but-don't you have a boost controller in the MS not hooked up?It's the freakin boost controller.......Before I left for this little trip, I actually reset the thing back almost half a turn.....
Max boost is still showing 13.3,....and the only reason that the other 12.3 boost spikes you see in this log don't go right back up there is because the engine is rattling, and I'm instantly lifting.
So,...I didn't do jack to that controller, and it has crept up from 10. something, to now over 13+!!! again,..this is AFTER I set it back a little... Again, who knows HOW much boost the engine was seeing on Saturday???
The tune goes where it's sposed to go,...AFR dips down into the high 11's, and timing is below 15 degrees....It's just too much boost for the gas, and the chamber design I'm guessing....(Although the getting sideways at 40-50 mph in second and third gear thing is a freakin kick in the ass)...
I'm really liking the fact that I think the HG is gonna hang in there, I was worried that a stock composite HG would never let me get anywhere near the pressure levels the engine has seen...
So then,...I gotta get a REAL boost controller,...One that can be trusted to stay where it's set, and not just arbitrarily creep up to where ever it decides to go.
Quiet you,....Glad youre ditching the digital gauges... again.
I never liked digital gauges myself.Glad youre ditching the digital gauges... again.
