Mapped For Methanol

[jd]

As some of you have been aware, we have been planning on adding methanol to the fuel system on my scoob.

Results are now in.

previously running 416bhp/350lbft on V Power

now running 446 bhp/370lbft on V Power with 10% methanol and a splash of NF octane booster

Many thanks to Martyn for the input and advice.

Cant wait for Streetwars now!

nice figures but I assume you mean 370lb/ft with the Methanol?

[jd]

thanks for pointing out my deliberate mistake LOL

[rae_sti]

is that with standard internals must be close to max if it is ,v/impressive

[jd]

yep, still on the standard internals.

Your willy must be tiny

Good figures mate. Must go like stink.

Just had a report from Martyn as I have not driven her yet, his words are "fast, very very fast"

Gained 60bhp at 4000rpm and spool up is much better. On the road in 6th saw 1.5 bar at 3250rpm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This may be of interest

update:

finally collected the rocket today and what a difference!

Martyn overlaid the before and after dyno graphs on the pc to look at. Spool up is approx 500rpm sooner and the difference at 4000rpm is amazing...........60bhp & 90lb/ft.

Did a couple of runs with Martyn before coming home and put the foot down in 5th, you can feel the back end squat, rear diff tighten and there is a pressure pushing the chest backwards...............like nothing I have felt before.

Many many thanks to Martyn & Alan again for preparing my car again.

Put her on the rollers at Powerstation yesterday for a 3rd comparison run.

464bhp & 394lb/ft. Staff and watchers were impressed.

Many many thanks to Martyn & Alan.
