After re- reading that article that 9k linked and doing some calculations , I decided to remove the 2 stage system I had made up and go back to one stage .
Then I took the wirds' advice and just upped the boost .................................................. .........to 17![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Got some methanol coming as well - am thinking of just adding small quantities (10%ish) - mainly for better window washing but I guess i'll want to speriment as well .

You cruel and horrible person lol.
Last year I had to pull out a rabbit or a hare out of my oil cooler bit of the bumper. Well what was left of it anyway. Animals running across the road can be a pain in the ***

I'm curious to see what the maf voltage looks like. I knew the meth would added soon. It's a win win situation...Can't wait to see VD

Well - i didn't really set out to use it but seeing as it shares the same reservoir as the window washer fluid ... plus one of the suggested fluids to use for W/M is washer fluid containing methanol ... i figured it was the logical thing to do .
Only I just got the container and one of the suggested uses is 'paint stripper ' which has me in a bit of a quandry ...............................
Don't expect much - I have only raised boost with the EBC which is only affecting boost to about 6000rpm . 6-8000 will be same as before .

You know that little chemistry thing where water turns into a solid state at 0*C. The temperature at which methanol does that is much lower :D. The difference between the regular antifreeze and the -40*C antifreeze is the percentage of methanol.
Back when I still had my 13b and was running pure water, I forgot to drain the tank one winter and the lines and pump froze so I had to redo it lol.

A little bit of research and I did find some warnings about paint damage when used at high concentrations ..... like 60% , with the inference that it doesn't hurt at lower concentrations.

Couldn't resist the urge to log it
Here is the load log - pretty much 200%+ from 4500 onwards . 84/16 water /methanol by mass.

Here is the virtual dyno (no CF used - would be 440 on Dynojet setting)

Maf .................. Yes I hit 5V . Will post that log over in the ME section
Also : my 3" midpipe just arrived so ............................

Looking good brettus!!
how is the wideband reacting to the W/M ?
its funny how we have the vdi closed but there is still a hickup in power there. then it takes off like 40hp in 400rpm range... unless you opened the vdi??
