  • Nitrous & Methanol

    If I wanted to use methanol what jetting would I use?
    What is the "octaine" rating of Methanol?
    What would I have to do different from sparying awith gasoline, that I might not see coming?
    I could get a fuel pump and tank no problem.
    Extra safty stuff would be easy to install too, fuel pressuer safty and fuel purge.
    I think the octaine was equal to about 118, if I rember right.
    Guys that run alcohol carbs I here they jet about twice the size compaired to gas.
    Would I do that with the nitrous fuel jets, 2X the size?
    I want to run methnol because it is cheap compaired to race gas all the time.
    I could up the comperssion and still run pump gas when sparying.
    Stupid ricers will here nitrous and methanol and think its nitro methane.
    It would help me have a secert system, with hiden purge and other stuff below.
    Alcohol wouldn't make black smoke that easly, so they wouldn't be tiped off that there being spared at least the first or second time.
    This would all be for the 150hp to 175hp 3 stage nitrous for the Z28.
    And maybe use methanol for the 50hp or so shot I want to put on the V6 after the turbos go on.
    I realy want propane and nitrous for the V6 for the Cooling + Cooling effect of sparying gas and gas. I'll have to wait and see on the propane and nitrous.

    I may not have made this 100% clear , I want to run pump gas in the motor and alcohol in the nitrous system.

      on a motor running Alcohol, you use gasoline for the fuel when you run the nitrous so the jetting is the same, and Alcohol carbs do use approx. two times bigger jets because you burn twice as much alcohol as you do gas...and alcohol wont be any cheaper because the price is about half that of race gas and you burn twice as much so its a trade off...and as far as running alcohol w/the nitrous, i dont know how that would work...

        If the 118 octaine race gas stays in the extra tank for a week or so some of the chemicals will evaporate but all not at the same rate.
        If I put methnol in and leave it some of it evaporates I will just lose HC3HO It's all one chemical.
        I can get Methanol a lot more places than race gas.
