less than 10% than.... ever run more than that? I understand you cannot run more than 20% with out "heating" your fuel tank to 170 degrees F. Something to do w/ the h2o produced when burned.

Luke,
Can you post your dyno run with that turbo?
I'd like to see how your turbo spools because i was thinking of going with a #6 w/stg3 turbine wheel.
Thanks

Uhhh, gasoline is already 20% toluene typically. Germany can have as high as 30%. So compute your percentages based upon adding to the existing mix. Also the heating is only required to vaporize the fuel when the toluene content is over 84%.

BTW, what's the by-products of burning normal hydrocarbon-based fossil fuels? Regardless of toluene content?

I'd say the water would not effect the O2 reading. It's a chemical compound, even when heated it's steam and still water molecules. You are not breaking the molecular bond, just turning it to vapor. Just consider it a steam cleaning for the turbo.

BTW, you need an electrolyzer to break the molecules down into hydrogen and oxygen. All in all, if you were dividing molecules, it would probbably blow the engine from the heat generated by the hydrogen. It's pretty mean stuff, I was humoring myself by looking into a hydrogen injection set-up similar to NO2 and home cooked. It would be mean if it didn't melt down. (mental note) &gt;&gt;liquid pistons are bad&lt;&lt;

Our 3" downpipe has help increase spool-up tremendously with lager turbos. The torque peak is realized sooner because of this.
