Ahhrrr I see, the addition of ethonal stops the mix from separating!

Yep, this.

Tom's refurb style

​@@a_common_weeb"Refurb"? Buy a dictionary. Look up refurbish. More like butchering style.

It comes from KZbin genius. "Open source" so no "copyright issues".

@@deeremeyer1749 thank you for this riveting revelation on the world that we live in. I'll write my senator a strongly worded email and demand that "open source" music gets removed, in the newest gun ban bill that they are writing.

Oh no, I never put oil in this one!

@unkiescott oh you should go down to your local quick lube and get that looked at

I take suggestions for lyrics, I'll put them in the videos!

@@unkiescott **"Talon in the Sky"** *(Verse 1)* Rev it up, feel the engine roar, Eagle's on the prowl, hear it soar. Turbocharged, it's ready to fly, Talon TSI, reaching for the sky. Sleek and fast, it's built to win, All-wheel drive, it's a beast within. In the rearview, it’s a blur, The power’s here, it’s time to conquer. *(Chorus)* Talon in the sky, watch it glide, The road’s my runway, I’ll never hide. Eagle’s flight, I’m chasing the light, Talon TSI, take me to the night. *(Verse 2)* Precision wheels, gripping tight, Through the curves, we own the night. Intercooler’s cold, the turbo’s alive, In the driver’s seat, I feel the vibe. From zero to sixty, it’s a flash, The speed’s a rush, I’m in a dash. I feel the power, the force that’s real, Talon’s here, it’s got that steel. *(Chorus)* Talon in the sky, watch it glide, The road’s my runway, I’ll never hide. Eagle’s flight, I’m chasing the light, Talon TSI, take me to the night. *(Bridge)* From the streets to the open road, It’s a legend, and it’s in my soul. With every turn and every gear, I’m flying high, no fear, no fear! *(Chorus)* Talon in the sky, watch it glide, The road’s my runway, I’ll never hide. Eagle’s flight, I’m chasing the light, Talon TSI, take me to the night. *(Outro)* Eagle’s soaring, hear it call, Talon TSI, it’s on top of it all. With every shift, we’re chasing the dream, Talon’s here, it’s more than it seems.

I'm pretty sure 98 straight up will cool better than methanol mixed with gasoline because methanol cools about 30% better then ethanol at the same volume. Gasoline cools about 75% less than methanol. Averaging the two fuels would be less than pure ethanol. -Methanol 1100 kj/kg -Ethanol 850 kj/kg -Gasoline 305 kj/kg Bigger number means better cooling

Gasoline is not inherently miscible with Methanol. Just mixing the two, the Gas/Methanol will separate and you'll have a bad time with that as your AFR swings from somewhere around 6.5 all the way up to 14.7. The Ethanol in GEM binds it all together, ensuring nothing separates. I have a paper somewhere about this where they tested it, the value was around a minimum 8-10%, but it's fuzzy and it's been a long time since I read it so I might be off on that value. But with the amount of Ethanol I use in this mix, I have not experienced any sort of separation.

@@unkiescott unfortunately... pump E may not be the answer to mixing, I didn't test it but I'm wondering if I was around 76/78% E in company to 98% in other ethanol based fuels. Long story short it seperated and I burnt up my motor 🤦🏽 tune was on, fueling was on, timing was safe. Some plugs read like M1 plugs, others read like race gas plugs. Learning experience for sure.

@@bbcnova56 gas ethanol methanol nitro ??

I run M5 as my Methanol component... It has a splash of than N you're talking about :)

I'm sure with the presence of meth, it'd probably have a slight edge over race ethanol due to the latent heat of evaporative properties of meth. If anything, this is more for quantity purposes, race gas is 30% more expensive than ethanol and meth is nearly 20% cheaper than ethanol. Undiluted meth is corrosive and lacks the energy density of ethanol and gasoline. It's a fuel that CANNOT sit in the tank and HAS TO be flushed out after every use with gasoline or you'll risk damaging fuel components, especially injectors. Assuming you had one pale of gas, one pale of ethanol, and two meth pales, you'd have nearly enough to make five pales if mixed to stoichiometric like in the video. Anybody jumping through these hoops for emissions has been misled, you'd be better off running gasoline and slightly leaning out the map on low load cruising scenarios.

Fuel pump, injector and class requirements. Also, with this fuel I have no change in the tune between street and track tunes, as it is a drop in replacement for e85.

It's the same air:fuel ratio as E85.

The point of adding the Ethanol in GEM is to prevent separation. I've had fuel sit over the winter and used it the next season without any problems.

I cannot get him to reply to me.. how much more power is this fuel making?

@@christart8461 that's a question without a definite answer. GEM will probably not directly convey additional power like nitro or other oxygenated fuels but it may allow the engine to be tuned differently than when on pump gas or E85 which could then yield more power. More timing, more air density and so on. Just depends...

​​@@christart8461 the fuel it's self actually has a relatively low calorific value compared to straight gas, so GEM alone is not what makes the power. Where the power comes from is being able to run much higher CR, ignition timing and boost. GEM will also run a lot cooler which also brings power advantages. The downside with GEM is you will be consuming considerably more fuel than with straight gas, again due to the lower calorific value of GEM.

6 times..... lol I love that car and miss it dearly. 1990 Ealge Talon AWD with limited slip.

Theoretically? .788. Can I borrow your Hydrometer?

It's a rear view mirror with integrated camera purchased from NikoMaku on Amazon and was about $160. I didn't intend on using this for footage, but it was really nice to not worry about setting up a GoPro during the week while trying to race! Maybe I'll do a more in depth review, I actually like this unit although I plan on replacing it with a different one this year.

@@unkiescott appreciate it! My new race car isn’t going to have much visibility, so review camera would be great. And footage for YT is a nice bonus! What are you thinking of for replacement??

My car has slightly damaged the current camera setup due to vibration (there's been a notable decrease in image quality and increase in errors recording to microSD, but it's not totally broken) so I'm looking at options that move the cameras off the mirror so I can mount them in a dampened manner. And I'd like a 2K or better resolution on the front and 1080p on the rear camera.
