    110 fuel ...or NAVGAS

    in General Chat

    Posted

    Damn I am gone for 3 days and this blows up.

    I am going to run methane gas from my a$$ on my new car because its unleaded so it wont hurt the o2 sensors and the octane rating is through the roof.

    I should be able to run about 60 PSI of boost with it!!!!

    I cant wait!!!! You effers are in trouble.

    glad your back can i sit with your dog ???? :DDRrocks: :pumpkin: :pumpkin:

    this is a quote from wikpedia.

    Avgas properties and varieties

    The main petroleum component used in blending avgas is alkylate, which is essentially a mixture of various isooctanes, and some refineries also use some reformate. Avgas has a density of 6.02 lb/US gallon at 15 °C, or 0.72 kg/l, and this density is commonly used for weight and balance computation. Density increases to 6.40 lb/US gallon at -40 °C, and decreases by about 0.5% per 5 °C increase in temperature.[1] Avgas has an emission coefficient (or factor) of 18.355 pounds CO2 per US gallon,[2][3] or about 3.05 units of weight CO2 produced per unit weight of fuel used. Avgas has a lower and more uniform vapor pressure than automotive gasoline, which keeps it in the liquid state at high-altitude, preventing vapor lock. The particular mixtures in use today are the same as when they were first developed in the 1950s and 1960s, and therefore the high-octane ratings are achieved by the addition of tetra-ethyl lead (TEL), a highly toxic substance that was phased out for car use in most countries in the late 20th century.

    Avgas is currently available in several grades with differing maximum lead concentrations. Since TEL is a rather expensive additive, a minimum amount of it is typically added to the fuel to bring it up to the required octane rating so actual concentrations are often lower than the maximum.

    now back to what i was saying about myths, this is the same fuel used on ground vehicles "it is the same fuel " low lead rating is because they took out a lil lead and took the octain rating from 105 to 107 and dropped it to 100 octane. anybody that dynos there car on the wrong fuel is asking for trouble. avgas has nothing to do with it. tune your car on avgas or tune your car on race fuel or pump gas . you start mixing and your inviting trouble . oxygen sensors are commonly removed on high performance applications such as sandrails. so it doesnt apply.

    avgas is not some speacial fuel it is effing 1970s "ethyl " gasoline with a lil lead removed to drop octain rating

    race plains dont use it because there running huge hp there bigger motors and need more lead for cooling and higher octain. ground based vehicles in most performance applications have no need for that much.

    till you push 900 hp or higher.

    the first "unleaded" motors could run lead fuel. the only difference they made was hardend valve seats !!!

    because lead helped keep this high heat area cool. hardened valve seats aloud more heat at the valve seats to do away with the need for cooling by the lead.also dropping compression because of the missing lead and lower octain rating. thats why the 70s and 80s big blocks only had like 180 hp :clap:

    theres no mystry here, they are 4 stroke motors. in the air and on land. you could take your "race plain" land it at a chevron and fuel up on automotive 105 ethyl gasoline in the 70s same fuel same fuel same fuel

    btw: don, kerosene is deisel fuel that doesnt have all the impurities filtered out. and back when the world still made sense kerosene was vastly cheaper. and there was several stations busted in barstow ca for selling kerosene for deisel. they got caught because the filters were plugging up and blowing the tips out of the injectors. from impurities. not because it is a different fuel.

    side note: why do you think bert wont comment? and pete is laughing ?? because neither want to type all this info. and the myths you guys believe is comical. :blink:

    of course if you still refuse to believe and hold on to your "myths" i guess ill go explain it to berts dog. i heard he at least listens !!!! :dunno:

    Who do you trust in?

    well i trust in god !!! this country was founded by christians and this country was built around christian values. with tolerance to other religous beliefs. instead now we have a few whiney a$$ people that want it all abolished. and the results are self evident that this country is effed up.

    it is time for the majority to stand up and tell these people to shut up. this country has no sense of its self what so ever.

    our founding fathers never meant "seperation of church and state" to mean no praying. and complete abolishment of god.

    it was written to keep the pope or a president from laying down a mandatory religeon. or forcing our government to make decisions that need a blessing from these entities. so all would be able to worship god in there own way. and non believers to not have to deal with forceably being sent to a "church"

    the more these "modern people" meddle, the more our society declines . look around it's self evident. school kids are out of control . social graces are out the window, no ethics in bussines or government.

    how much more "writing on the wall" do people need.

    avgas may be illegal now for street

    avgas is hard to get without pilots license and only at small airports

    avgas is a drier fuel, no lubrication

    avgas is lighter and weighs less than race fuels

    avgas means you have to jet richer or you will go bang

    avgas for engines at 2500-3000 rpm at altitude

    avgas is not used by high performance aircraft, they use sunoco racing fuels etc.

    so---------why the hassle?

    you want performance with a performance engine, then buy the good stuff! :laughoff: :stir: :laughoff::laughoff:

    avgas is not illeagle for the street and were talking about sand rails (off road )

    avgas availability i didnt have much trouble

    avegas lubrication ?? total myth not dryer the lead content is plenty for "earthbound" vehicles

    avegas weight if it is lighter its because they dont add all those chemicals into it.

    avgas does not cause lean burn again another myth

    avgas can easily power 800 + hp on the ground or more and cheaper than the race fuel

    Got my self a neat new project!

    I found what I think is a super deal on a low mileage Turbo Subaru Engine. Even though it's only a 2.0 and not the 2.5 it still puts out 227 HP stock as it is the Impreza WRX set up. It's out of a total and is complete with harness radiator and fans etc. Only 35K miles too. I'll put it this way. I paid way under 1K for the total set up. Am told that is a good deal! checked on line and all engines like this one that I found were at or above 3K.

    I will put it on the engine stand and just take my time to evaluate everything and try and have it mounted and ready to run by next Opening Weekend.

    I've had it with the normally aspirated VW as I am use to turbo cars and want the additional HP. If I'm lucky the 2180 is about 100 HP. Not enough extrs weight to hurt the total HP on a car that only weighs 850 pounds according to Prowler.

    I miss the 250 HP I had in the 2.3 Ford Turbo but that car was heavier.

    I am happy and now have a project to take me through the winter!! If I can hold off that long. Depends on upcoming trips with the VW!

    I was told that they have to rev to make HP but what the hell does a VW have to do to get anything respectable.Bottom line, I'm happy about my find!!! :barf::flipoff::clap:

    thats a smokin deal !!

    the answer to the highlight is the vw has to be sold and another motor put in. thats the most respectable thing a vw can do :ogp:

    Well this is what I have been doing lately
