I was wondering if one were to build from the ground up a 13b-rew for alcohol, could you use renesis rotors with 3mm apex seals, with a rew e-shaft, and a nice street port. Since alcohol needs compression to run, would these parts give enough with approx 1 bar of boost to operate correctly? Or would it create more problems than it is worth?



I'm just throwing ideas out there because I am very interested in ditching gasoline.



Thanks guys any input is helpful,



Erik

Straight methanol. 100%. It's proven over and over again. Works exceptionally well. It's almost magic. While a dozen other people and vendors will wave their flags with big-number claims alongside their alleged super gee-whiz ninja controllers, this is what I can show what straight methanol does in the real-world:

Nobody else in the world I know off has the REAL data I have on any system that can equal what I have proven on water injection and normal pump gasoline, lots of grand standing and slurs and hype but very little analytical lab grade results.



If you want real answers, feel free to e-mail me



peter@riceracing.com.au



I supply water injection kits all over the world to real racers who want the simplest most proven rotary solution and NO guess work.



I can also tell you how to build the engine and tune it, again based of actually doing it and proving it.
