bahaha i was waiting for your comment

[Fack_Dude]

Just remember bro bullshit walks and proof talks....lol Post up dyno results. How much boost are you at?

ahha well i was told from Brian thats what its pushing, i haavent picked up the car yet, eather tomorrow morning, or thursday is the only time i can actually get the car. so when i get it ill post a picture!

good man.

[Genpu_Mz3]

nice mikey! fckin beast

[pwdunmore]

That's some wheel spinning torque numbers! lmao... I thought you would have got a higher HP number with the BNR but still awesome.

Post a VD or dynojet results

[mikey32235]

picking up the car in an hour hopefully! just looking for a ride

[mikey32235]

WOW!!!!!!!!!! This car is a f*ckin ROCKET!!!!!!!! I have the Dyno sheet, the car makes exactly 348.7WHP... as for the torque, i guess brian was incorrect at 390...she's making 414WTQ!!!!!!!

Drove all the way to barrie (school) just now and it drives perfect, i checked the meth tank and it has less than a quarter left :p I have 3 jugs of meth at home, but those are $12 each, what is the most conservative way to make methanol at home? I have seen people use washer fluid but I've heard that shit could mess up the car..

The car is tuned for meth to inject @10psi. And tuned for 94 octane

Thanks for all the help guys

(on my phone, will post pictures when I'm home)

holy crap Congrats! Glad you are finally enjoying the car

...what is the most conservative way to make methanol at home? I have seen people use washer fluid but I've heard that shit could mess up the car..

I'm really happy the car is working well for you. Regarding home-brew methanol........ do you understand any of this stuff?

To make methanol, you need first to create synthesis gas, which has carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas as its main components.

Conventional steam reforming is the simplest and most widely practiced route to synthesis gas production:

2 CH4 + 3 H2O -> CO + CO2 + 7 H2 (Synthesis Gas)

CO + CO2 + 7 H2 -> 2 CH3OH + 2 H2 + H2O

This process results in a considerable hydrogen surplus, as can be seen.

If an external source of CO2 is available, the excess hydrogen can be consumed and converted to additional methanol. The most favorable gasification processes are those in which the surplus hydrogen is “burnt” to water, during which steam reforming is accomplished through the following partial oxidation reaction:

CH4 + ½O2 -> CO + 2 H2 -> CH3OH

CH4 + O2 -> CO2 + 2 H2
The carbon dioxide and hydrogen produced in the last equation would then react with an additional hydrogen from the top set of reactions to produce additional methanol. This gives the highest efficiency, but may be at additional capital cost.

If the answer is no, don't attempt to make methanol at home. The result will be more harmful to your wallet and health than blowing up your engine. I'm a chemical engineer and I wouldn't do it.

[greyseason]

I'll be honest. I tried to make sense of those equations logically, and I was still like WTF. Especially the part where it said, "as you can see from above, you will have surplus methanol" or something like that. What am I looking for! Haha @Aitch that all makes sense to you? Damn

[mikey32235]

haha ya i didnt wanna have to even attempt to learn that lol.

driving the car tonight was a blast, installed the rallye 3 belts too was going to install my momo team wheel, but i realized the NRG hub bore is too small to fit the momo horn... NRG lied to me! *******s lol... so im going to have to return the hub and purchase the momo one. and for you guys who are about to say "why didnt u buy the momo hub in the first place if your using a momo wheel"? look at the nrg then the mom and you can see the diffrence, NRG offers a shorter hub which looks cleaner IMO.. the momo one has that classic look that your used to seeing in honda civics.

forgot to post this in honor of @Fack_Dude ...

"to all of you who said i couldnt do it, or said i wouldnt be able to start my engine... FACK YOU!!!"

[Kiyomi]

buy methanol at a chemical company. they sell it in large jugs/barrels and will last you a long time (99% grade), and its cheap.

"we sell 18L pails – they are $48.75/pail (2.71/L)"

Yup. Taught that crap for too many years.

oh ****.

[Snotrocket]

Only 350 HP? Most guys make that on spring pressure.

[mikey32235]

[r4mi5awi]

Amazing! Congrats!

[BlueStreak]

So you wanna make meth? Enlist the pros.

Heard that you're making 350whp on 23PSI and 12-13* timing. That's pretty reasonable IMO.

[pwdunmore]

I thought this was weird too... There must be something that can be addressed.

Just some food for thought because I have seen similar set-ups with BNR making higher HP numbers so I'm not sure what the deal is here.
They are good numbers but something doesn't seem right comparing data (94/meth/BNR/built motor) but I could be wrong lol... The torque number is a monster so I don't know why the BNR is running out of breathe up top, its not a K04 lol...

[Fack_Dude]

At the end of the day who cares what the kid got. At least he's up and running.

[BlueStreak]

A built motor doesn't make power all its own UNLESS the head is ported. Even then, you'll make more power on the top end than anywhere else. Built motors ALLOW you to make power... all else equal.

Fobio informed me that the motor is tuned to 23PSI at 12-13* timing up top. That's super conservative and I personally would venture to run that on straight pump gas BUT I would tone down the torque to 370ft-lbs or so because the engine would knock otherwise. That being said, don't try to run without meth

In short. Given the boost/timing inputs, you're making decent numbers. I don't like the torque profile but that's just preference on my end. Towards the top, the power drop off would be noticeable enough that the car would feel slow. I'd say you'd have a lot more fun at a flat 350-360ft-lbs run to redline than your current powerband. At 414wtq, you can't even get good grip in 3rd gear.

@mikey32235 @BlueStreak
I thought he has a VCTS delete and PNP intake manifold (maybe mikey can tell us that information) which it not close to head work but still a start.
