Methanol Tuning Basics

A brief overview of Methanol tuning. Some basic info to get you started. Methanol tuning is hard to find info on and I would like to share some of my research. Hope you learned something new ! Thanks for watching

Thanks for the info . I'm doing a pump fuel with methanol port injection setup at the moment. I figure adding methanol later in the tune at high boost and rpm it gives best of both worlds pump fuel keeps condensation down and hotter while cruising with easier cold starts and less costly in the long run.

Brother, thank you so much for making all of your videos. You have helped me a ton with everything megasquirt, turbo, meth, car etc. I am very grateful for you.

Youtube algorithm finally worked! This video was great.

Thanks bro, appreciate it, really helpful

I'm a little slow on the math side But I am running a 496 bb chevy twin turbo 76mm with a mechanical fuel injection system I
from Ron's killer injection Termanatior1060 and I'm wondering if I should mix with gas I run 1/8 mile what is your opinion. you seem to know your stuff so I would love your opinion if so what would you suggest me trying for a mixture rashito I'm non intercooler at around 620HP

Thx for the video!Running m1 since 2018 on a allmotor application!Learn a few things👍

Been combing the internet for months for information on building a methanol fuel system. I had to watch and read a lot of crap unrelated along the way.. This video really covers it all and is to the point. But was buried deep under meth injection videos and E85 videos. Very hard to find.

You want more that stock timing even with Boost?? I always thought you take timing away with boost even on methanol

128oz/gal. 50/50 mix = 71.5oz Methanol - 56.5oz Distilled Water

It only burns slower because you’re making it richer Methanol burns faster then gasoline so if .9 lambda methanol is 15% faster

ave you done to fuel lines and du you run the car on straight pump fuel before stand still or is it not necessary when you only at 30-40% m100? Do you change oil more often when you at blend fuel ? Thanks a lot

I have subbed on multiple accounts. Sorry for the spam, but you deserve the recognition.

Is there any reliable info on installing for na on high compression engines? Mostly looking to see how somebody would setup the tune. My best guess, with very little understanding, would be connecting to the injector pulse width signal and setup to only run above a cruising speed. Really curious if the possibility of 2 mpg and ability to run lower octane could work. Plus no carbon build up on the like mine have much.

Bro does methanol have a shelf life? I have left over and still in its original can container for about a year now and want to mix it 50/50 with water, appreciate your help

I have found that POR15 has a fuel tank sealer I've used it in a fuel tank its good for methanol 3years now with no corrosion on a steel fuel tank. Probably won't work on plastic tanks because drys very hard and won't flex and could crack. Also I'm thinking on my new build I'm going to have a drying filter on the fuel tank breathing hose to prevent moisture getting to the fuel and low pressure 2 way valve. Will try 50/50 methanol 91 mix and daily drive it. Would 2 stroke oil be a good lube additive methanol?

Just an fyi, top fuel dragsters only run about 15% methanol, mandated by the rules. Top fuel dragsters run nitromethane as a primary fuel. A/F ratio on methanol is about 5.5-6.0 for most combos, as rich as 5.1 for best power.
