Why are you putting an " ' " before Bisi? That's his name, there's nothing before the B.
But explain then, why Bisi said that it was a "hoax" to hurt his business after speaking with you? I find it insulting that he doesn't even show real concern about peoples bad experiences, instead dismisses it as "hating".
As for the pump thing, he doesn't actually mention the use of meth injection, instead only posts pictures and advertises his build as making 700hp on pump. Nothing more, nothing less. He leaves out little, but important, details about certain things which can be, and usually are, misleading to the public.
There is a " ' " before, that's why I put it there. 'Bisi is an abbreviation of his full name.
I'm not here to defend 'Bisi and his business, that's not my job. I just came on here to share my personal experience with him and my viewpoint on the whole thing.
I disagree on the "pump gas" thing completely. From what I've seen, many have read the words "unleaded fuel" and immediately assumed 91-94oct. pump gas and then went on about that.
From what I have seen/read, the build is titled "QUEST FOR 700hp". That means it is a goal he is shooting for with this build, whether it happens or not. He clearly stated many times that it would utilize unleaded fuel and water-meth injection. He also stated that he would change things in the setup as needed to help achieve his goal.
UNLEADED FUEL encompasses alot more choices than just pump gas. I think everyone has been missing that and the fact that it's just a goal, if it doesn't happen that's OK. It's still gonna make big power.
I have no idea who you are but that right there sounds like ass kissing. You sao "if you made more power after a cam change then so be it" well isn't that the point . there shouldn't be massive gains by switching to a new cam, this is a performance cam......
and on a side not NO ONE has touched on the fucked graphs he posts. Yeah no big deal right?
Call it what you will. Once again, I'm not here to defend 'Bisi and his business, that's not my job. I just came on here to share my personal experience with him and my viewpoint on the whole thing.
I take this cam thing with a grain of salt, because I haven't had a bad experience. We have all seen plenty of builds with good cams in them not perform due to some other flaw in the combination while others utilizing the same cams excel. Point being, I think people tend to immediately blame the Bisimoto cam if they have one because they feel it's a magic bullet. Just like any part, it may work well for some and not so well for others. 'Bisi is just an easy target because he is such a public figure. If you bash on Crower or Skunk2, etc. there's no face to the name.
As far as some of the graphs he posts, they may seem odd but I don't think he fabricated them. It may just be a worst case scenario that he tuned and it made those huge gains, so he posted it. I don't know.
It's also a recreational impossibility. I can see making a large (100-125 whp) increase in knock limit over popularly "understood" limits by increasing head flow and raising the point at which the engine makes and carries torque efficiently, but you're not hitting 700whp (in anything that traps like 700whp) with unleaded gasoline as your primary fuel. Here are my points:
- Stock injectors for gasoline and big secondaries for methanol, ok, but conventional water/meth results in a 15% increase in knock limit. On a conventional gasoline D16 with water/diluent injection, non injected 325 whp --> water/meth injected 375 whp for a stock cam/port car. You can even break 400 by a bit if you aren't alarmed by the engine's timing requirement dropping off like a stone because it's at the edge of knock and the gasoline is volatile. Add in some big port/valve mojo and a good cam and I can see brushing against 500-550 and it might even brush 500 on a heartbreaker Mustang dyno with corrections not applied.
- Dynamic compression ratio is an interesting thing, but the static rating of 9:1 is still a primary factor. You have to have a combustion chamber big enough to support the fuel/air mass that is burning inside of it and 9:1 on a small bore motor is pretty limiting. Period. End of story. Argue with Ricardo or Vizard or God Almighty.
Anyway, I can appreciate your point on everything else, James, and thank you for tossing it in. I'm glad that a lot of the 1.2's are working correctly for you and therefore others, but I know that there is a problem with them/some of them whether it's caused by an error in Bisi's design, an error at Web during grinding, etc.
JD, thanks for the education on water-meth injection. I personally have no experience with it. Your arguement here seems logical against straight pump gas. But based on my comments above regarding the use of unleaded fuel and the other options that includes, do you think it's feasable on say the Torco 108 unleaded?
I have respect for you James, all of you guys are good to me... and in no way am I pointing any kind of finger, but to clear something up... He does indeed portray that the build is a pump gas build. On multiple occasions on multiple sites.
Its not.
Not that it matters a whole lot (It bothers me).
I take your knowledge on the limits of the D as the best around (as its been proven that you know how tro make power on it).
Thanks Spiker. I never got that impression anywhere in anything printed in the magazine articles/forums or out of 'Bisi's mouth. All I read was "unleaded fuel" and the intended use of water-meth injection to try and reach a 700hp goal, and that changes would be made if needed to try and achieve it.
