'66 Slant Six Turbo Build
why don't you guys run on alchohol? Would that not solve your detonation problems? I am not a turbo guy just know that alchohol can be your friend and make more power.
Alcohol IS the almost-perfect fuel for turbo motors because of its high octane (resistance to detonation.)
I said "almost-perfecct" because it comes with its own set of problems and they are not always easily dealt-with.
It's corrosive.
It, over the long-trerm, is damaging to rubber, metal, plastic, and pretty-much anything it touches, and that incudes the O-rings in the carbs, fuel lines, and a variety of other fuel-related items.
That may be the reason a lot of turbo guys don't use it. Too, its availability is not on par with gasoline.
BUT, it is a great fuel, if you can deal with its "problems."
I think that may be the reason most people are not running it; its corrosive nature..
Just my 2-cents...
