Going to get hold of some methanol in the next week and get that mapped in time for cadwell

This can be used to run more boost if the turbo is capable of pushing more air (mine isnt at the top end), run more timing to gain extra power or run leaner to gain more power that way.
I will experiment and see what can be done but I am told that a few extra degrees of timing can be had - possibly worth 20 bhp ??

The Zero Sports Thermostat opens at 77C i believe. This allows the water to run cooler. (available from Lateral Performance amongst others)
Cooler is better to a point.
An added benefit is that the water cools the oil in a modine near the oil filter transferring heat from the oil to the water. As the water is colder it cools the oil more.
Much cheaper than £300 for an oil cooler.
