What is the advantage to premixing gas?
|
A very good and informative read:
http://pettitracing.com/rx8/index_faq_protek.htm I run 1 oz. per 2 gallons of gas for street driving and 1 oz per gallon for AX and Road course racing. I do not have my OMP anymore and personally feel its a waste of space under the hood of the car, you will get much better mixing from premix and better lubrication. Many in the racing community agree. |
Thats interesting reading. How hard is it to remove the omp? Is there a certain type of oil people are running or will any two stroke oil do? Thanks Dan

The oil metering nozzles require a bit more effort, though. You will need to remove the upper (and lower, I can't remember) intake manifolds. You remove the oil squirters, and replace them with bolts. (or whatever method you prefer). Use TCW3 oil. I buy a gallon from the local boat store, and fill up smaller bottles to take with me. |
look at all the grime and **** there from it leaking.
mine looked the same, and thats why it got the boot when i went turbo, and will again on this setup when i tear it all apart to go megasquirt. i doubt it even pumped anything, just leaked it all out instead. |
I noticed my leaks all over also. Thats why I would like to get rid of it. It looks like the average is about 2oz. per gal. Has anyone noticed any performance or longevity by getting rid of the oiler>

Whats megasquirt??
|
2oz per gallon is too much, I put in ~11oz per full tank (17 gal) to get 3 gas tank fills per each quart of 2-stroke...
megasquirt is a type of aftermarket ecu |
For the street 1 oz per 2 gallons gets you about 200:1 mixture.
Racing? 1 oz per gallon, like everything too much is not better it makes problems. |
