Update:

OK it looks like I have enough waste solvent now to last me clear into next Summer. So I'm thinking I might get a used Honda Generator and run it on waste solvent also and use it to run my heaters this winter in my garage.
I need make a few changes to the Talon and a lot of modifications to the Insight so heat will be a must.

I'm also going back to my single intake valve system on the Talon. I modified one of the lifters or "lash adjuster" to only open one intake valve about 1/8" off the seat and it has about 1/3 of the duration compared to stock. This helps with swirl and makes ultra lean burn work a lot better. It still has decent power though, enough to keep the car fun in the winter.

I wanted to get it to the track but I still need to purchase a new fuel regulator, bigger injectors 2150 cc/min. and a larger waste gate, but I'm out of $$$. So I will have to wait until next year for track times and dyno numbers.
