Dave, let me piggy back on your 2.3 turbo question with another thread. I have raised this on other forums, garnering the expected usual armchair speculation....
From all of the information I've seen on www.turboford.net, the Esslinger aluminum D-port head flows as well as a moderately ported iron head. The thing is...
In reality, there are advantages to both water and alcohol. NACA found that a mixture of Alcohol ( around 40% = interestingly methyl or ethyl gave about the...
Actually that "phase shift" as you call it is only an issue with Methanol Ethanol and water form an Azeotrope and will not self seperate or stratify, so the...
... Norm, Dave Flanders runs an Esslinger head on his turbo 2.3L (now 2.5L) turbo mustang. I'm not sure which one it is, but it will not accept a factory...
... Alcohol is a pain in the neck to add and then try to compensate for in your fuel maps. Just run water, you won't have to mess with the fuel maps and it...
Nice project! Unfortunately, the old Toyota Mods email list crapped out (lost the server) a few months ago, or I'd invite you to join up there. There were...
Next time use some sears/craftsman stuff, I've never seen anything, after any amount of butchery that they wouldn't take back and give you a new one. As far as...
... Heh, I hear ya there.. I also had to fab a spark plug wrench for my pro action heads too (recessed spark plugs, normal wrench can't reach the hex on the...
Thanks. I've so far been directed to De Anzio Performance in Lake Elsinore (Chris) and will check them out this coming week. The Safari system has two...

I have actually seen 22 psi with no detonation. 23 psi is a different story. But this is a non intercooled setup and I only run on 92 octane. Without the...
