That works

It's premature to discuss power numbers at this time. I know that sounds harsh but thats just how it is.dalke,
Any thoughts on why power numbers are where they are? Looking forward to more tuning.

Manny..English please?
Apparently for whatever reason the methanol didnt make a huge difference in dropping ACT ..Which makes sence when using e85. If it were standard gas youd see a difference for sure. Something doesnt seem right though with 200 degree temps..I'm sure its either a mistake of some sort reading wise or somethinsg seriously screwy. I have a couple of buds that do e85 conversions for a living along with the tuning involved. If I talk to them Ill see what they say

On a port fuel injected vehicle the fuel used will not have any effect whatsoever on the temperature of the air in the manifold as the fuel has not been introduced yet. Think about what you are saying here. E85, gasoline, diesel, or straight nitro methane = same intake manifold conditions.I know and it has a 2.0 A/R with the new lower intake inverted with E85 correct?
When using e85 as a fuel I wouldnt expect meth injection to cool intake charge temps.
And why wouldn't we see 200 deg? Ambient temps were around 65 deg, and when you consider that a twin screw generates boost internally at all times, it follows that there will be a temp increase at all times. I have witnessed this in real life on all AR blown cars. The temps that we were seeing during part throttle operation were around 150-160 deg. I would consider this to be normal. The temp rise due to boost alone at 15psi is substantial so 200-220 deg is absolutely great considering an Eaton generates about 340-360 deg at similar boost levels.At the same time I wouldnt expect them to be 200 degrees either. So somethings up. Thats what I was saying
First of all there is no mention of knock. Please read carefully. We chased false knock signals for a large portion of the day before concluding confidently that we did not in fact have knock. I realize that using a knock sensor while tuning is generally not recommended but in this case we were being careful, to our own demise as it turned out.Also there was mention of hittin knock. If you have the AFR commanded properly it could very well be a timing issue. From my understanding (not experience) both are way different.
I;m just curious of the outcome

Mike,
Are you expecting to get this sorted out and tuned prior to the Dayton meet ?

The people I know that do e85 conversions were on newer fleet vehicles. Of course now they have flex fuel vehicles but they did it before that came around. They also did propane convertions as well.
I'm sure you guys will figure it out one way or another.
