Thanks Zissis for the update and sharing your new video of Unity

If I were you I would continue testing with alcohol since water mixes with it very well. What you do is add water until Unity has a problem running and then try to make changes that could help her to run better, when she does then add more water and keep tuning, modifying and you may eventually get to more water than alcohol

If you post your results and you have good results, then most probably Robin David would want to make you a Firestorm replica for Unity to further improve your results.

Keep up the research and sharing.

Hi Luc.!!

Thanks for the advice.!!
I am going to do it even though alcohol is much more expensive than gasoline.

Anyway I have noticed some "problems" running with alcohol. When the air intake is choked at full, this is the only way to start. On open air it won't start. That means that she needs a very rich mixture with alcohol. When I try to open the throttle at half, there are some misfires. Those misfires stop when I open the air intake at full. Then I can throttle it at full. When back to idle, and air NOT choked, it stops.
You can notice that on the video.

Thanks for the advice....
More updates to come soon.!

Hi Zissis,

I would not think that using the choke fully closed to be a problem. I think that the more water we have going in the engine the less air intake we will need since the water contains Oxygen

... so keep this in mind for optimal tuning

... that choke leaver maybe your best friend after all.

The alcohol you are using already contains minimum 7% water as it is not 100% pure.

Also make sure to vent out your exhaust as the alcohol you are using contains poison so people don't drink it and you don't want to breath that stuff.

Thanks for sharing

new nickel plugs

Hi everyone,

I received my new set of Firestorm replicas from Robin. They are beautiful .. you've already seen one of them posted here.

The first thing I did was a pressure test. It would barely fire either on regular spark of VexUs. The gap is much greater .090 Krupa gap. The Bug would not run. Robin said he's running the same nickel plug/gap so I started to suspect my Bug's old coil. I switched it out with a new one and ... tah dah !

Under the pressure test these plugs Kick A. But, and I don't know if I should feel disappointed or not, they produce what appears to be the same plasma spark with or without the VexUs plasma circuit "on". At atmospheric there is a difference though ... but that doesn't count.

That's this update,

Greg

Thanks for the update Greg.

interesting way to find that your old coil was not outputting as much as the new one.

Also, very surprised

that your pressure test is not showing any difference in plasma with or without the VexUs circuit

I guess the real test will be with the engine running!... please do update us of the results of what happens with the engine running and you turn on and off the VexUs circuit using these new Nickle Firestorm's.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Luc,

Well the Bug runs very peppy. At idle there is an increase in RPM with the plasma circuit "on". Either under load or sitting at higher RPM there is no perceptible change. With more standard plugs there is change across the board
