Jetting with vp q116

[rx1 fern]

What size jetting are you guys running on turbo rx1 with vp q16 race fuel . I jetted sled with 165 mains and it's still lean . I can't believe how high of jetting I still need . What are your carb setups with say 18 pounds of boost . Thanks for any help guys . I appreciate it lots . Just looking to see other guys setup . Thanks and have a good day

this will give you a little insight on why...

I read that post. Thanks.
BUT My response to all that, not including the arguments of course, If Q16 makes your TURBO sled run better, then you were not tuned properly with the fuel you were using OR you were using the wrong fuel. Why complicate your life with oxygenated fuels when you have a turbo??????? Want more oxygen turn the boost up!!!!!! Normally aspirated, that's a different story.

would q16 make more power then c16 on the same sled by adding more fuel with q16 where it is oxygenated make more power.

 

[TWIN TURBO]

Theoretically Yes, But I've tried this more than once dyno testing with no significant gain in power. Definitely not worth the trouble. Like I said turn the boost up a pound and call it a day.
VP claims there IMPORT will give you 4-5% power increase, haven't seen that either.
Besides Q16 Stinks and not healthy to breath.

You could have Greg build you a motor! There good to 50lb, right Greg? LOL!

 

[TWIN TURBO]

Right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now What could we possibly do with 50lbs of boost??????????????

 

[kviper]

Just think, at 50 lb and the chisels in the right way what we could accomplish!

 

[apexgturbo]

so c16 is just as good.
