Not the point,I completely understand direct injection. Now does ethanol some how work differently in the cylinder of a direct injection engine? Than it would in a port injection or a carburated application? Its still going to chemically cool the cylinder tempature correct? And blending it will obviously rsise octane. Would you not agree? I bring up water meth injection to simply make a point about the need for specific tuning. How the fuel gets to the cylinder is irrelevant. Yes methanol injection has its own pump. But once it reaches the cylinders. It is still just being burnt with the gasoline. What does the fuel delivery system. Have to do with the science of how alcohol is conbusted in an internal combustion engine? Obviously the stock fuel system has plenty of room if Ford can get and addition 50hp out of a tune. Without the need of changing injectors or the fuel pump.
I was responding to your post in which you claimed "The E has a chemical cooling effect. Which will drop your Intake air temperature".
Combustion chamber temperatures are a whole 'nother subject.
Allow me to reiterate...
"You seem to be a pretty smart guy, but you just need to do a little more research, and please stop running Ethanol above an E10 mix in your new Ranger until you do.
Please report back here (afterward) and share what you learn,"
Still... please be careful not to curse Ford if you destroy a perfectly well engineered engine.
I don't really wish to pursue this confounded discussion any further for now.
Thanks for your thoughts and good luck with your experimentation.
I've seen enough oil on the track to avoid what you're selling.
