[troy5251]

is this the first time this engine has been started after a build?

[JanEkstrom]

@troy5251

Yes, first time. 

[flyflaboy23]

Use a nitrous plate to purge some gas into that thing to get it started faster.

Trust me..it really works.

[JanEkstrom]

Yes, we have that in mind to use a couple of NOS Fogger nozzles to purge the engine.

But then we found out that if you have full throttle in a couple of seconds then you crank the engine before push the starter switch, there was no need for any NOS kits anymore because it starts really easily.

[fordlightning]

your ganna burn up the starter trying for that long...

[JanEkstrom]

Correctbut we can all see that the Summit starter is working GREAT and we still using the same starter without any problems. So we/you cannot complain on the Summit qualify starters.. hehe

If you don't want to look like a bunch of duffuses,do all the cranking shit off camera, warm the car up, then start the camera and start the car and show everyone how badass it is. Jeeeeze rookies.

Engine starts and STAYS running at 2:25

@eXp0N3nT1aL

depending on the compression and the initial timing.. definately.. pro stock guys are always squirting pure nitro methane in their blower hoods to get their cold engines started.. blower cars often have a hard time starting... lower compression huge cylinder volumes and big valve overlap contribute to this.. but my guess is this guy had retarted his timing just a little bit too much... but its a safe way to beat preignition on a new motor.

[eXp0N3nT1aL]

@TheLucidsun didn't know that about the octane but that hard to start?

[TheLucidsun]

Octane is actually a measurement of a fuels resistance to burn..... it has a higher heat value...there fore produces more BTU's BUT the flash point of the fuel is MUCH higher..... starting a cold engine on methanol can be difficult not to to mention the cam in that motor prolly has a huge overlap.. so at low rpm's doesn't have the greatest compression....trust me its hard to start a cold motor on methanol.

[eXp0N3nT1aL]

isn't methanol a higher octane fuel? if so it should burn easier therefore starting easier. it's like using starter fluid or carburetor cleaner to start it and btw once it turns over.... don't let it die hit that little thing next to your foot i think it's called the gas pedal not trying to sound like an ass or anything but come on you can build an engine but you can't get it started?

[msmyview]

needs a cold start methanol injector lol just an idea .

[marlinredneck]

I love the mask...Will you be flying in high altitudes? I gotta stack 351. gettin headman headers [:

[IYARF]

time to change ur starter

[72Horton]

@Bamchucknorris LOL!!! Ya I can see it's no diesel. Regular gas engine cars have block heaters from the factory for the colder states. I wasn't trying to disrespect you. Nice engine. Good luck with your car.
