Nitromethane
Hi richard, thankyou for your support.
The place locally is a R/C car/plane shop in Hitchin, Herts, the owner told me that most places have stopped dealing with it because of the insurance implications for storing nitromethane and methanol at the shop. He is only allowed a small quantity. Health and safety risks also means that delivery can be expensive. Methanol is easier, and he says it has been harder to get nitromethane, but he is still able to get it on special delivery. I will be contacting him next week, and try and get more details, and I'll order some nitromethane :lol: Interesting results here, of course liek alot of people I am concerned about safety of using this, but the feeling overall is that small amounts say up to 10% by volume methanol/water would be reasonable?

You know what else is scary...the thought of nitro igniting in my intake manifold. I'm kinda starting to have second thoughts. That nitro may be highly unstable with 20+ psi of warm, boosted air contacting a hot engine head. Its one thing to combust in the cylinder. Quite another to combust outside it.
Maybe I'll return that 30% nitro RC fuel and switch to the 5% nitro mix they had... |

I have also spoken someone darg racing expert at the show, I think he said NM97%M3 with makethe engine run lean and NM93%M7 is what they use to fuel those 8000BHP engines. I think for our little experiment here, mixing 20% neat nitromethane and 20% methanol 20/20/60 of NM/M/W should show some good power gains without causing too much drama.

Re: nitro
ubcnme, this is a nice find. This NitroBooster seems like it may be the ticket. I may order some to try out on my water injection set-up soon.
I run a snow performance WMI system on my Ibiza Cupra 1.8T and was looking to get this stuff shipped across, where abouts are you located as we could split the costs. Shipping is a nightmare.

I am quite interested in this nitromethane mix.
There is a small forum over at snowperformance.net and the folks there say that it will NOT mix with water, and that best bet is 50% methanol50%nitromethane (homemade from pure liquids) That's with using an emulsifier, too. So how come people here mix nitromethane with water so easily? :? |
