Has anyone successfully converted a ZX12 efi. system to run on alcohol :?:

mini sprint cars do it all the time
i think the only issue would be fitting the fuel rail and injectors in.

heres some dyno's on it:

i think you need something like 56% more fuel by volume. but you can get 650cc injectors from Muzzys, so upgrade the pump and you should be good to go with a remap. i hope you like changing your oil all the time. the(blown) alcohol cars at the track go through a pile of oil...

thankyou for the information given, i am following up,, i know the pitfalls of running alcohol, as i used to run a turboed z1 kawasaki many years ago,,, because of the high maintence involved i am not too sure if i really want to go with alky in my zx12, just finding out whats avilable, is all :)

Highly unlikely. That stuff is just plain nasty and dangerous.
