I just wanted to start a thread on this, been using it for about 2 months now and its really amazing what so little can do on a tune...

 

100% nitromethane is $29.40/kg ~88ml

how much do you put in methanol?

 

top fuel evo's

 

I have been experimenting with many different mixtures, have gotten mixed results, I would rather not say on the forum what % as I don't want people just trying it as it can be dangerous stuff...if you look on the aquamist forums Richard has some nice threads about it and what % stays in solution and what not...

 

gezzz....you started the thread and now you say "I would rather not say on the forum what % as I don't want people just trying it as it can be dangerous stuff"

how much...or the range of concentrations used for your experiments? what sort of mixed results did u observed?

 

I just don't want joe smo coming hear reading and just trying it, I have been playin with different %, I use 50% methanol, and I vary the water from 40-46% and the nitromethane from 4-10% give or take...

 

why not 90% MeOH + 10%CH3NO2? Is H2O necessary?

they are all volumetric percentages right?

 

I was looking at some Nitromethane recently. I was unsure on how much to use, so I didnt use any. I am still interested in this stuff though. I believe one of the evo gurus has some experiance using this stuff, hopefully he will chime in with some information.

 

I don't like running straight meth, im a fan of having water...

 

how much change in AFR did you notice going from 4 to 10% nitro?

Also you mentioned mixed results, how so?

 

see the crazy part is you don't see much change in afrs but it does make the car run leaner, so I would tune the car first to be a little rich and then dumb it in and go from there, mixed results were from the higher than 10% because I was running lean and it wasn't staying in solution, right now I am trying to figure out whats the lowest % I can run without sacrificing power...

 

maybe upping methanol will help nitro stay in solution?

You running lean because you got high egt...but not able to see it on the wb?

 

yea the egts start to climb higher than norm, btw I am by no means an expert on this stuff, I made this thread to hopefully learn more about it and help other learn, all I know is what I have seen so far and I am hooked...my tranny died on me in the middle of doing pulls...I was spinning 1-3 with snow tires without nitrous which usually is only possible on nitrous for me...it was pretty wild...

 

i'm trying to learn as much from you as possible b/c jestr is tuning my car sta jan20 and if this nitro stuff is that good, i'll overnight a kilo of it to try it.

 

Well snow performance sells nitrobooster but they don't explain the % that is in it, that you mix 8oz to 2qt and has been shown time and time again to make almost 30whp with no tuning...I can get you a hookup on some of that if you would like but its about 40 dollars a bottle, very very expensive...
