Quest for info

Hi folks ??? Is there a ballpark setting for a 525ci Alcohol motor Idle check popit valve?. From earler post I read that 68% to 72% is ballpark for barrel vavle leak down. Looking for help on this info so if you could help please do . Fuel System: Bird catcher 990 Enderlee pump, 1471 High Helix Retro Littlefield with nitro barrel vavle.

 

Id start at 72% and 5 lb idle. then id see how it responds and take idle temps.shoot for around 280 egt and 130 head.Their is more,like secondary pressures and how close to the main circuit you are and what temp you want the stage temps and so forth.

 

have you had your pump flowed?? I think you might need a bigger pump? as for some more inputs on the pump see what other guys think.

 

Id prob say no unless hes got a helluva boat anchor tied to it.

 

Thats actually the best advice,saves on typing also!

 

basic set up

is your motor a hemi or a wedge type

 

are you sure your barrel valve is a nitro barrel valve? they make a k style for both alcohol and nitro. If is a nitro you need to get the alcohol one

 

R B S yea it's a HEMI and S W R yea im sure its a nitro barrle vavle What's the difference???. and had the fuel flowed check by rep manifacture then sent it off to have it polydine coated fuel does not seem to be a problem.the plug's hardly show heating on threads maybe top thread only.Thanks for the imput will continue to keep yall updated and see what happens any and all info from you Im sure will continue to help Thanks
