The 94 lights off but will not not run as good as regular gas and when it gets really lean in boost, it gets to the point where it barely lights and the car falls flat on its face, where as if i have regular in, it continues to make probably around 130 hp at ten psi. with the 94 i can make it to only about 4-5 psi, before i hit the lean burn limit and probably top out at 80-90 hp. this is 100% tune related tho, i could change the tune and make it work but i want to keep it constant so i can note what different fuels do and with different conditions. once i have a good feel for it ill retune it for 94m octane and so that i can rev all the way to redline.
The meth injection only comes on with 15 psi boost and starts spraying at 20 psi, it has 2 m15 jets spraying up to 300 psi if i turn the controller all the way up. It sprays 100% meth, no water. I think if i add any water under lean burn it would cool the mix to much and would not light off, as well as slow the burn speed. Right now speeding up burn speed is the one thing i am trying to achieve. Faster burn speed means more of the power is used and not blown out the exhaust port and thus better economy. with this lean burn tune and regular gas i can only rev to 4500 before the speed of the flame is too slow and power starts dropping off. it seems to like to drive around 1500-3000 range best, and i noticed the ****tyer the gas i get the better it runs and more power it makes with leanburn. (the meth helps bring the regular gas back into 94 power territory so i don't blow it up with high boost.)
The plasma ignition, its not real plasma per say, its just a much much much more powerful spark and has a bigger corona to it, there are a few ways of increasing ignition energy. I have just the stock ignition basically looped into itself for more voltage, than a cap to release the spark energy quickly for the most powerful spark. there are 2 different ways of doing it, kinda hard to explain, but ill link some videos to explain it so you guys can understand better and replicate. Hopefully some guys with electronics experience can give there opinion and some suggestions to make it easier for others to convert to plasma in one easy step.
Ignition energy is the one of 2 limiting factors to lean burn and basically dictates how lean you can go while still making usable power or being efficient. with a big spark, you are much more likely to ignite some floating fuel in the spark path because the path is so much bigger, and if you have a really powerful spark the light and heat from the spark can also light off the mix. The other is fuel mixture and atomization, ideally i should have 2 fuel rails, one with very small injectors like 150cc and than one with bigger 1000cc+ injectors for big power, big injectors just spay a jet of fuel not a mist, i need a very very very fine mist, the finer the mist the faster the burn and with less leftover fuel being wasted out the exhaust that would normally be used to keep the catalytic converter glowing hot.
