race gas fuel cell in the trunk
im looking to run race gas in another fuel cell mounted in the tank to make more power for when im at the drag track. im going to mount it over the spare tire hole so this way the sump clears and the tank sits level. so let me know what you guys thing of the idea. i priced the parts i need at 350 bucks here are all the parts im looking to buy

will you have a valve to switch from one gas tank to another or are you getting rid of the stock tank?

why not just run your tank dry on the way to the track and fill it up with your "race fuel" when you get there?
This is what all/most boosted track miatas do, in fact this is what most track cars do. |
For a bunch of safety reasons that I won't even explain to you because you'll just ignore them anyway, you shouldn't do this.

i dont want to have to run my tank dry and you never truly can run it dry
Clearly, you no nothing. Spec miata drivers do it before races so they know exactly how much fuel is in their tanks. |

i would like to hear them. i get if some one crashes into me it will go boom :giggle: Ask me with perfect grammar and I'll tell you. |
how are you going to control the return line?
|
How much extra power do you think "race gas" will make you?
I have a number in my head. |
water injection > purple
|
lol yeah man some Water meth injection is the same price with alot better results and you can drive it everywhere witht the track power instead of being a pussy with what you have.
|
You are not going to get more power just by running "race gas" or "av gas".
You need to tune high octane fuel to get power. Unless you are going to switch between two different tunes you are asking for trouble. |

This is your response in regard to Spec Miata? You really need to do your homework...

Spec Miata : The Official Spec Miata Community
That took exactly 7 seconds. Either you're too lazy to type "spec miata" into a search window, or you don't know what the fuck autocrossing is. |
im sorry but i dont give 2 sh!ts for spec miata.
the Spec Miata (SM) class is intended to provide the opportunity to compete in low cost, production-based cars with limited modifications theres one of them |

Autocross=cones Road course wheel to wheel racing is what spec miata is. ON TOPIC: I don't know why you're worrying about a setup that will involve perfecting TWO tunes when you couldn't even get one tune right. Also, how are you going to know when to switch back and forth between the two if you can't tell when the fuel line is full/empty of race gas during switches. I see more bent rods in your future young Skywalker. |
Damn, fellas! Ease up on the boy.
You will know when the race gas reaches the injectors by the smell of the exhaust gasses, I suppose. Good for you for taking the initiative and experimenting with something new. I would personally use the water/meth mix so that the benefits of the extra power/safety would always be available. Meth is safe unless you freebase it. |
