    Deriving Mass Air Flow, or Volume Air Flow, based on VE and HP

    Thanks for the quick reply, and great info. I'll have to labor a few calculations, and after I tune a few of these I'll know more about the BSFC's and efficiencies. On a Roots blown 4.6 with 650rwhp, these variables are going to throw off the equestions/results, but atleast I can get an...

    Deriving Mass Air Flow, or Volume Air Flow, based on VE and HP

    Application: Forced induction Gas Engine Do my own tuning, want to write my own calculator so I can plug in VE and HP (all other variables being at STP, etc) And come up with Mass Air requirement, which I can convert ot KG/Hr For sizing or calibrating MAF measurment range. So I know how to...

    Intercooling turbo compressor directly to boost flow

    methanol is corrosive, so most metals with get EATEN by methanol. Which exact metals or if All I'm not sure. Also, on several occassions I have seen turbo housings GLOWING ORANGE from heat after a high end run. I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable injecting a flamable liquid with air, into...

    Ok well I've read up quite a bit, I don't think running the xylene for a few quarter mile runs will add too much soot, especially just a 60/40 mix with petrol. Although some acetone wouldn't hurt. The a/f won't be especially rich, the flick of a few buttons, and a tank of gas later it's back...

    Octane ratings... ?Negative affects of PURE XYLENE?

    So I was going to the store the other day for some nice paint stripper. And I saw this big canister of 100% Xylene. For some reason it reminded me of my Supercharged 4.6 liter V-8 running 500hp on pump gas. Some times I'll tweak the tune to the ragged edge with the timing and A/f ratio before...
