Rock on man, email them to me if you would.

 

[FoMoCoSHO]

Do you want all of them?

I got a log too.

 

[tmcphail]

logs and the good ones

This is awesome!!! Glad to see people seeing the benefits of E!!!

 

[tmcphail]

Agreed, downside is further fuel system output degradation compared to E0.

Agreed, downside is further fuel system output degradation compared to E0.

This is where I get confused. Theoretically shouldn't the E provide fuel headroom just like meth? The way I understand it, all meth does is allow you to run less fuel enrichment @WOT(higher safe AFR)...or am I missing something?

 

[tmcphail]

Look at the difference in stoich points of the fuel. You need much more volume (pump / injector / raw fuel system output) with E85 VS E0. That is the core. See your WOT FRP for proof of that.

Torrie, do you have a figure on drivetrain loss for the SHO? I calculated about 27% using stock dyno numbers.

Maybe this little discussion can shed some light on methanol vs ethanol in layman-speak:

SHOdded, are you getting tired of my noob questions?

LOL!

 

[tmcphail]

The D loss is real high through the AWD system ford uses. That % isn't inaccurate.

 

[FoMoCoSHO]

Ok, so working backwards with stock numbers, Torque, Dash Command, and 1/4 mile times, my crank power calculations are....

476 TQ
443 HP

Reasonable?

Corrected for DERP!

SHOdded, are you getting tired of my noob questions?

LOL!

You know it!!!

 

[FoMoCoSHO]

Torrie, I had my Reische 170 installed yesterday, do I need a tweak?

 

[tmcphail]

Yes

 

[Spartn27]

Do these kits have a low level warning built in?

Just for future reference, you can use a low level float switch and wire it up to an LED to retain this feature using any container. They're pretty inexpensive, below is an example. Maybe Torrie can start stocking these or add them to the meth kit.

I always use the factory washer reservoir that way you can retain the OEM low level system. That is unless you want to mount a huge reservoir in the trunk. 

 

[FoMoCoSHO]

Yes

Ok, do you need a datalog?

 

[tmcphail]

No, just email me and I will handle it

 

[FoMoCoSHO]

So my device needs updated apparently but it told me I need to return to stock first?

Is that true?

Do I need to put the 2 bar back in or can I do this process without starting the car?
