based on david buschur's site and al's site (dynoflash)they recommend 100% meth, anything otherwise is a waste. but hey whats the point of arguing about % over the internet, try out diff combos on the dyno and pick what works best for u.

 

All I said is what they told me. Don't know if the shop I use is scared of WI or they are just blowing smoke. And I was just talking to one of my friends at the shop about it and I wasn't asking them to do the work. Not sure if this maybe just rumors floating around the shop or not. That is why I said - I was told (second hand stuff).

 

Facts:

- Methanol is flamable, yet has a much less energy output than gas and much higher octane rating.
- Methanol only has about 1/2 the heat capacity of water.
- Methanol has a much lower freezing point than water.
- Methanol will disperse better when sprayed through a nozzle.
- Methanol will evaporate faster than water.

I want anti-detonation feature, so the more water I put in, the much higher heat capacity it will have, the more energy it will take to raise the cylinder temperature when compressing the mixture, thus you can achieve a much higher compression ratio. I will only add Methanol to keep it from freezing. I am sure if your goals are different than a different ratio is better for you.

 

When I installed the Snow Performance Kit on my car, I talked to Tony Snow (Owner of Snow) for an hour or so. I was told to NEVER use 100% Meth. Always a 50/50 mix. I used my windshield washer tank which proved very useful when the "low level" light came on when the level was low. Mounted the pump inside the right front fender.

Have fun cleaning up the mess it produces all over the back of your car. It didn't seem like a big deal at first, but after doing it constantly, it got old.

That is what I was planning - first spray at 3-5psi at 1 GPH, then second nozzle to come on at 8-9psi with 4 GPH more for a total of 5-6GPH. Yet, I will test and let you know.

 

Do you have pictures of the mounted pump?

What mess, please explain, why would it cause a mess and where?

 

No pics and it's off now. Sorry. My mechanic cut 2 pieces of L bracket metal and drilled holes in them and screwed them into my frame or something solid like that in that area. The area was (if sitting in the passenger seat) in front of and left of the front left tire behind the plastic covering there.

The mess comes out of your exhaust. it creates little blobs of burnt Meth all of the back of your car. And you need more than just water to clean it up. It's kinda like the exhaust film that's usually on the back of Z's (at least the one's I've seen especially the F/I one's) x's 10.

I will say this. I got 25 ftlbs of torque from just running the meth and making no tune/boost changes or anything.

 

interesting....well, I guess I'm about to find out....since my car is black it might not be as extreme as on your yellow machine.

Thanks for the info though

 

I havn't seen any BLOBS on the back of my car...I guess it's where your exhaust is located and how far back it is....Mine probally spews all over cars behind me..LOL...And about aps being against it that is bs.....Ted is in tight with APS and they know about and aprove all of his projects.....I think aps may be running water injection themselfs...
