you could possibly run 50/50 Water/Meth injection on regular 93 octane street gas which is like running 110 octane race fuel all the time and street this setup without the issue of $7/gal fuel

 

So no local tuners could do the install then? Unbolt the engine and send to VA sounds like?

 

Even if it only made 280whp/220wtq on pump, I'd still be grinning to no end.

 

Id still like to know how the reliability is being addressed!

 

You guys have to realize that IP built this particular motor as basically an all out race motor. The compression ratio on this motor is pretty damn high, so I don't think that IP would want to run street fuel in it. I'll leave it up to Ya to give out details.

 

Please reply to my PM because i'm really interested.

Best regards

Uhhh... they just built it. Time/mileage is the only way to substantiate such info.

Then again, I'm tracking my 2.5L and have had no problems. Rod bearings pulled after a couple of events- no wear at all.

 

What have you set your rev limit to Skip? I should remember as I've read your posts many times, but I have a memory like a sieve

 

It's set to 9100 rpm, however, the power starts to fall around 8500-8600 rpm(needs a bigger cam). I usually shift there on the track. I do have the extra rpm's to hold a gear if need be, thereby saving a shift.

 

Yes im well aware of that but as an engineer, you can see what potential weaknesses are as a result of a change, and do something to adres them accordingly. My question is around the thinning of the cylinder walls and their ability to cope with the increased frictional heat.

What I didn not ask is how long it will lass (not quantifiable without testing) which you have presumed I have asked.
