pump fuel is a random mix of crap anyway.

for running dual rails and useing the ecu to controll the mixture of fuels the engines getting  you would normaly use aftermarket managment,  it is possible to use std ecu's to do it but some wireing alterations have to be made,  and some serious reworking of the ecu's programming not just the map.

you can get piggyback meth or water meth systems  of varying qualitys and capabities. 

randomly adding methanol to your fuel is probaly not the best idea  in the % concentarions that your goig  to get awway with with no ill effect your not going to notice much.  pump fuel is 5% alcohol anyway iirc.    tho its an ethanol blend  as its not poisonus wheras meth is pritty nasty stuff. 

what do you want to acheve and from what engine ?



all the VW's have gone bar 1.

ko3 mkv gti. running currently 300bhp. fmic/tbe/induction/fdv.

would like to up the octane rating. It runs better on v power but its not readily available where i am. ive also filled up with bp102 once and it felt like i immediately gained a considerable amount of bhp.

help me  :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

f**king dear though for a ko4 conversion. I might as well sell the car and get an M3 and remap it. Wmi is my next option though!

Wouldn't mind the FQ, but at nearing 80k miles things are going to start going t its up.

My brother in law is selling his M3 CS 2006 (Comes with 19" standards and uprated brakes all round)

He said I could have it for £15k (Its on at £21K) A tad sluggish considering the 'stigma' attached to M3's, but having said that 'Clubsport' said they could remap it and take it from 340bhp and 270lbft, to 375bhp and 330lbft and take the limiter off, so rather than the mundane  :shocked: 155mph it should be good for 190mph.

I borrowed it to go to Newastle Emlyn in Wales in January this year, when my Jag was in the garage and it was a very nice car. Totally planted and returned nearly 26mpg on the whole journey.

Plus which it would be nice to own a rwd drive car! I couldn't bare to buy an mx5, boxster,, z350, 328 etc just to get into the rwd circle.

If I really wanted something brutally quicker than anything else then I'd buy a custom build quantum/caterham kit car. My friend owns the company linked below and he could build a 450kilo, 350bhp kit car, that would smash anything. His personal Quantum vx (7 replica) has twin turbos, has a dry weight of 530kilos and produces 440bhp. Just under 900bhp per tonne  :grin: 0-60mph in 2.3 seconds (Quicker than a 1000cc British superbike), 0-100mph in 5.2 seconds (quicker than a Veyron) and 0-150mph (top end) 12.1 seconds (quicker than a Mclaren F1)  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

We seem to be going round in circles here.  :wink: Somehow i doubt even a 1300bhp Polo would smoke a twin turbo 7 round some twisties!
