lol, just messing around. It was from F&F 4.

 

im sorry guys for the noob question, but what is the use of the Water/Meth injection ?

 

Hey 350Z400rwhp, that's the setup I was thinking of doing, using the windshield washer tank...but isn't the pump supposed to be lower than the tank?

 

Not sure if it matters. I don't have any problems with it though. The only thing you need to worry about is if the tank is mounted higher than the spray nozzel. If so you need to install a selonoid.

 

lower intake temp, no need if your n/a

 

Thnx

 

Water Injection or Water Methanol Injection, is a process by which a mixture or water and Methanol are injected into the fuel/air mixture on the way to the combustion chamber. Water/Methanol Injection provides "Chemical Intercooling" inside the cylinder. By injecting water and methanol in a finely atomized spray, the water is able to evaporate under the high temps of a firing cylinder, and when the water evaporates, it takes heat with it. The methanol also has a cooling and octane boosting effect as it burns.



The production of more power by a water/meth injected engine is not a by-product of the water/meth mixture alone. You must tune for it to get the most out of it. The evaporative effects of the water/meth mixture, plus the octane boost, allows you to run more advanced timing, and boost, thus increasing power. Methanol having the octane boosting effect, you can adjust your AFR's with tuning, and be able to run the same AFR as a pump gas tune with less fuel added to the fuel map of your engine managment. When the system is spraying, methanol is making up for the fuel that gets taken away during the tuning process. You end up with about same 12.5:1 or so AFR with less pump gas added, you also increase knock resistance, and due to the octane boosting effect, you can add timing and boost to make more power safely.


and yeah if ur boosted

 

very informative.... thanks!

 

I didnt realize I never posted pics of the finish product. Never got to tune with the meth injection. Car was totalled.

Mine is pretty super stealth also, I have a wickedcas sub box in the driver side compartment:



Windshield washer fluid tank





Pump is in battery compartment





Solenoid is in break fluid compartment

 

most people would shy away from having a potential flood near the battery and crucial fuse boxes.

 

I drive my car less than a 1000 miles a year, if that, so I am not too worried. If anything, I'll come up with something, it would be a good little project.

 

Couple teaser pics of my Direct-port setup from Aquamist and Jeff Howerton. I'll be getting home sometime this month, so hopefully you guys will see it in action by spring. Pretty big project it's going into.

Anyway heres the container

Will post more pics once I get home from Iraq.

you're crazy man! It's a privilege to be a part of this project

Btw it's fun keeping people guessing
