Uno Turbo 1400cc
Hi guys. Iv just joined the forum,and im a newbie to methanol injection. I live in south africa and drive a uno turbo(mk2), which is a 1400cc turbocharged.
My mechanic has just installed a meth kit in the car for me,but its a self made kit. Never the less,it works,which is ok. I have a couple of questions reguarding my system though.. The injection sits in my intake pipe just before the throttlebody. Now,is it suppose to spray a mist of meth, or a fine jet of meth? Secondly, its a very standard kit which kicks in at 1bar boost(via a adjustable hob switch), which i dont know how much PSI that is, but when do you guys suggest it kicks in? I must still get the car re mapped with the kit on. I have 550cc injectors on, witha large intercooler, and a TD04L 13T Turbo running at 1bar, at which i made 115kw and 220nm(before the meth kit,and its flywheel reading). I want to push out as much boost as possible, What size nozzle should i use on my 1400cc motor? You guys think il get near 2bar boost with this setup and meth? Its a alcahol pump by the way, so im running pure methanol. I want to run in the region of 150 - 200kw, so does the nozzle size depend on the power the car is currently making, or the power its planning on making with meth? Replies will highly help me...thanx! |

It will be easier to estimate the meth flow aganist the fuel flow.
I normally recommend the following: - 100% water: 10-15% to fuel - M50:W50 15-20% to fuel - 100% methanol: 20-25% to fuel (figures are based on knock free conditions) Just total up your fuel injectors

Re: Uno Turbo 1400cc

It is impossible to give you the answer you need without knowing the pressure and flow rate of you water/methanol pump and your fuel consumption rate. I would just start with the smallest nozzel you have and work up slowly until you experiance any sort of abnormal performance, then go back a nozzel size.

If you are not sure teh flwo of your system, spray the water into a measuring glass for one minute. Once you know the flow rate, you can then work out the water to fuel ratio of 10-15%.
It is very difficult to help you without this infomation.
