The downside of beautiful weather......

[1quick]

The killer chiller is the way to go, the ice box is great at the track I’ve seen 45* post blower temps on a 100 degree day but it only last for 5 minutes with those temps

wouldn't a killer chiller be a big no-no at the drag strip since it activates the compressor and condenser get's coolin' and you could drop moisture/water everywhere?

ooooooooooooooh



fuckin' neat

I would think the benefits of methanol are less when running E85. The ethanol is already absorbing a lot of heat. I don't see much a difference injecting methanol or ethanol. Where the alcohol comes from (either from the fuel injectors or the dedicated methanol injectors) doesn't really matter. It absorbs heat and richens the AFR, both which suppress knock.

The comments on water above are correct when running water/alcohol injection (water absorbs a lot more heat than alcohol). So here's something to consider. Try running some water in the E85. E85 will hold over 10% water before the gasoline starts separating out. The water will be dissolves in the E85, so it won't hurt anything. Add about 5% water, bump the fueling up the same % and you have water injection built right in.

(E85 has almost 1% water to begin with.)

I know that meth injection did pretty much nothing to intake temperatures running E85 on LSA engine

The other issue with KC is on a very hot days A/C system can't keep up .Cars get hot inside

Is your water & ice reservoir insulated? I added a simple bubble sheet with foil on both sides. It helped out a lot on those hot days. Some guys use a paint or coating as a heat barrier as well. I have seen bed liner used as well. One of those and insulation would help even more.

Shit, I'll even get 140* IAT2 temps on a 40* - 50* night.

I cry looking at them on a nice summer day.

I was leaning towards an interchiller myself. I just weary about running meth.

No it’s on my list of things to do lol, it’s a long list though, I still don’t see it taking a long time to melt, the water coming back from the heat exchanger after running through the intercooler is like 90* still maybe warmer

404, Downside not found with drop-top.

How does a drop top help with blower heatsoak.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Well, the hair is getting "blown".

Not on my platform, which makes me want it lol.

For those wondering about the drip. It has a drag mode that you can select that diverts all freon to the supercharger coolant so you get no dripping at the track.

The whole system is $900, which doesn't seem crazy. They also sell a 2 gallon auxiliary tank so you always have ice cold coolant "waiting" to flow. It is very appealing.

No , it overheats worst then gas engine cars when run in hot wether multiple times . .Brooks from Drag Times did 3 races in a raw and the Tesla cut off half of its power on the third run

 

[Spivitz]

I haz no value to add about Meth however will post my trans can hit 200 degrees in ten minutes when its 75 or warmer

I thought that if the battery is hot it won't even go into the Ludicrous mode?

 

[Grabber]

I had no idea that Mike Post, Tim Barth, Bob Kurgan and several others were retards.

Damn, learn something new everyday on TCG.

Centri blowers FTW

I have seen NMRA Renegade class car air intake temps from back when they couldn't run intercoolers. Trust me, they can be pretty bad as well. lol

A hellcat guy popped his motor today. Tuned on about the same boost as me, but using pump gas and meth. Went lean......

Not many use it to make up for the octane, but they are out there.

Id keep your stock heat exchanger, the smaller the better, itll recirculate the colder coolant faster/more often

yeah let's talk about range when it's below 30* outside doe

I "think" my stock pump is slow enough to allow for the time to cool, but we shall see. I would also be curious to see what the 7 gallon ice box would do for me for daily driving and no ice in the system.
