		<description><![CDATA[Tweet I had a question over email the other day about an E85 converted, supercharged BMW 3-Series. After answering the question, I thought it would be helpful and interesting to demonstrate to all my readers here and followers (on facebook and twitter) the advantage of using E85 on a supercharged set-up and the possibilities it opens up during your build up. As an introduction, E85 is an alcoholic fuel that is 85% Ethanol and 15% Gasoline. E85 is a high octane fuel with an Octane rating of around 102 Octane points which, when compared to gasoline and it&#8217;s 92 Octane points rating, has an additional 10 points of Octane. The advantage of using a higher octane fuel is that the in-cylinder flame front travel rate of a higher octane mixture is slower than that of a lower octane mixture. If you had watched my video series on tuning your timing and timing trends (here), then you may remember that the flame front travel speed is affected by many factors including mixture density and in cylinder pressure. Having a higher octane mixture, slows down the burn rate. This means that we can increase our boost level, our compression ratio, or our [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Tweet Update: The article below was written for an older version (version 3.1) of the header calculator. Since then, in version 3.3 and above, the power calculator is able to do all forms of header calculations, including: Primary and secondary pipe lengths and diameters Shorty, tri-y, and long tube header designs Targeting a specific rpm range for your long tube or tri-y design for maximum launch power or best street cruising The first part of the video below is still informational because it goes through the concept and theory of a 4-2-1 header and why it is benifitial on street applications. Part 2 of the video which covers using the old version of the header calculator is now obselete I&#8217;m afraid. Be sure to checkout the link at the bottom of this page to the free trial of the power calculator where you can calculate the dimensions for your intake, shorty header and exhaust for FREE I received a question in email last week about using the power calculator to design a tri-y or 4-2-1 header for a 4 cylinder application. The car in question is going to be used during a hill climb competition, and in this type of racing a [...]

First we&#8217;re going to talk about some of the underlying concepts of ignition timing and timing advance Then we&#8217;re going to look at some simulated timing curves Then we&#8217;re going to summarize with some insights on how you can use this information to increase your horsepower by advancing or retarding timing, in the right places to gain more power. First of all, let&#8217;s look at a 4 stroke engine animation &#8230; This is top dead center&#8230; when the piston is all the way up the bore This is bottom dead center &#8230; when the piston is all way down the bore. Usually when when we talk about timing advance, we talk about &#8216;B.. T.. D.. C.. &#8216; or before top dead center. Usually the spark plug ignites the mixture before the piston reaches top dead center in the compression stroke. Now the reason why we fire the plug &#8216;early&#8217;&#8230; is that the mixture of air and fuel [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Tweet A friend of mine is building an intake manifold for a naturally aspirated Toyota Celica. The car is equipped with a 2.2 liter 4 cylinder engine that generates around 135hp @ 5500 with 6200 rpm redline. With a lot of modifications, the engine can achieve 180 crank hp @ 6200 rpms and turbocharged and supercharged versions of the same car have broken the 320 wheel hp mark @ 21psi of boost @ 6200rpms. Now that we have our parameters defined: Displacement: 2200 cc Peak RPM: 6200 RPMs Target hp: 180 hp corresponding to about 270 CFM of flow Number of runners: 4 Number of throttle bodies: 1 Plugging these parameters into my power calculator I get the following dimensions for the intake manifold that I would build. For comparison here, we have the dimensions chosen by Mr. Turrani for his application. Parameter Power Calculator Mr. Turrani’s Manifold Intake runner diameter 1.22” 1.75” Intake runner length 13.4” 14.3” Plenum volume 3 liters 1.4 liters Throttle body bore 58 mm 60 mm (Gen 3 3sgte stock throttle body) In general, when doing research for the power calculator, I found that typically intake manifolds have a volume that is 50 to 80% [...]
