Nick, can you translate that please? Are you saying denatured alcohol is better to use for some reason?

denatured stuff really stinks when i spary and your behind me. i cannot smell in the car when spraying.
So performance wise there is a differance from the stuff at Home Depo and the race stuff, My tuner said he would like me to run the race stuff when he checks my car with the cooler weather, I have just had a hard time finding it in stock anywhere North of Chicago, Thanks for your help. Ken

sorry :o

see nat the alchy is controlled, whether its denatured or meth. by a map sensor. most of the alchy kits that jose and ecs sell are probably 2 bar mine is 3 bar. this just means that yours will inject from X psi up to 14.7 psi. if you were to run more then 14.7 your alchy injstion will not increase any more. these kits inject on a linear rate. mine will still be injecting alchy or denatured past 14.7.

"there is no difference between denatured or meth as far as perforamnce" Jose

denatured stinks like antifreeze though, itll scare you, "crap i blew a head gasket!"

nat we need to go for a cruise. are you north or west of me? or both

Thanks for clarifying that Nick.

Yes, I'm both north and west of you. I'm an hour north of Harrisburg, but would love to meet you somewhere and check out your car. Probably the best way would be to meet along Rt 80 somewhere. I think Hazleton would be about 1/2 way for both of us. I'm about 10 miles off the danville exit of rt 80. Let's do it before the weather gets lousy.

Nick, you weren't kidding this denatured alcohol stinks! Whoa, today was the first day I was able to drive the car after filling the tank with it and my God I can smell it really strong inside the car! I may syphon the rest out and replace it with methanol. It's that bad!

Funny you mention that Nick. I've ridden two of my R1's and my Hayabusa over that road too. It's rt 125. That was actually a road we always tried to hit whenever we went on a ride. We'd follow it down to 81 and loop back up around.

Let's tentatively plan something for next weekend? PM me and let me know if that's good for you and Jay.

Nat, have you forgotten how your old C5 smells when you sprayed it? Give the same nasty smell you're describing. Did you ever try running methanol in it instead of 50/50 alky/water?

Curious, what (if any) type of performance gains would I get from switching from a 50/50 denatured alky/ deionized water mixture to straight methanol? 6# boost application. are we talking like 5 rwhp that can only be seen on the dyno graph, or something that will give a SOTP gain?
