One disadvantage, I forgot to mention in the vid is more frequent oil changes most times. IF you get the tune perfect, and get the motor warm before you push it in the trailer or have a pan heater the oil can stay pretty clean. I cook of the moisture and reuse my oil since it normally comes out every couple races to get the moisture out.
The right oil helps too . But basically you need to boil the water out of the oil was a common practice to run the engine 220* for a bit will boil the water out of the oil .
You’re right on the money concerning fuel consumption. The air fuel mixture is double for alcohol. That’s why I want nothing to do with it in my street car. I saw a significant reduction in fuel mileage and range when they brought out the 10% ethanol mixture gasoline. I call it garbage gasoline. I want fuel mileage and I’m willing to pay a little more for the ability to drive much further on a tank of gasoline.
Thanks for the video ! I'm in the process of setting up my car for methanol now. :) Could you do more videos of how you setup the ecu for the methanol?
I wonder if jonn sometimes spikes his M100 ( or gasoline/E100 ) with nitromethane aka NM to up to 30% concentration as PFI speed and UTG RU-vid channels have done it and one vintage rail has a how to do it safely on the internet. I was told it acts Like a big shot of NO2/adding a bigger turbo/1-3 more psi of boost depending on how much it’s running. I’m doing the same as you as 110LL is $$ ( old 1970 440 mopar and I wasn’t sure if the valves had been fixed for EPA gasoline aka hardened valve seats and valve heads and was doing as cheap insurance ) and my new engine ( 1970 440 RB/426 G2 hemi running turbo boost ) can run on USA 🇺🇸 85 regular pump Ron if I’m desperate ( I found out tricks too do it but not my favourite as I have to lower cylinder pressure and kill mpg/power ) but most of the time I’m planning on 91- to q16 aka AV-gas or E85 depending on where I’m driving local a round town I can get M100 cheap and easy too. its my first pick at the pumps on dyno/race day I’m going to spike it up to 30% nitro I’m mostly reserving it for special events/occasions because it’s $$$ @ 15-40$ a 🇺🇸 gallon and a side effect it at 30% cackles and smells like a 60’s topfueler and I can even add essential oils to change the smell to ie Orange
John looking at the markings on that pump it is a 1100 not a 110 the differance is in the gear size 110 to 1200 have the same housing the number stamped beside the 110 tells the size of the pump I have been running meth for over 40 + years good vid keep them coming and stay safe cheers from down under
@@TurboJohnRacing like your videos man!! One question, you said the 500 precision injectors can be purchased used chep, where I can buy them used? Where you get yours? Thanks in advance
does the compression ratio have to be higher to make it work better? Is there a sweet spot on compression that m1 likes. We all love more compression. But..... ??
Ahhh I see. I may just run meth at the track and e85 on the street. I’m building a street invader style car right now. That’s the class I wanna be in. Drive it onthe street. Hit the track and make nice passes. Britt got the right idea
Is this the same as a procharged motor? Building a procharged small block and thinking of running strictly methanol instead of C16 with and intercooler. Any suggestions?
On my dirt late model racecar I run a piston fuel pump on a 400 ci small block chevy and it's supposed to supply a 2,500 hp engine would it work on a turbo engine? It bolts up to the stock fuel pump location on a old school V8

@@TurboJohnRacing I would have assumed carb would be easier. I have a motorcycle that I am trying to convert to an alcohol run. That way I can still get around when gas is too expensive to buy. Still in the research phase....do you know where to find an explanation on your math for the injectors? Great video my guy. Liked, and sub. Keep em coming.
could work, but i'm not a fan of multiple pumps. Aeromotive can out with some big pumps, but very expensive.

One day I’ll get my head removed from my ass and switch to alcohol and efi , I’m still blow through dominator q16 😭. What does John think about mechanical alcohol injection with turbo? We have rons alcohol injection here in Az and they swear I’ll get more consistency and run cooler . Just haven’t seen mechanical injection with turbo only s/c.
I have a question, I worked as a mechanic my entire life, Did you guys fall into a pit of money? What am I missing here? Ive got bills to pay and mouths to feed.
Why has John Doc been talkin steadily in a negative way about you lately John???? When he does it i instantly stop watching the video. I've met you twice and you were really nice and respectful to me and my family. And I've never heard you talk bad about any racer or anyone period.
