Default Water Injection...what are you guys using for fluid???

hey guys, just want to get an idea what you guys are running in your water injection setups (for those of you that have them)

I will be tuning tomorrow and need to find something to run in my water injection system...please be specific where you guys sorce these products...

anyone running straight distilled water? methanol 50/50..where did you get it? VP stuff? hardware store, please list brand names and be specific...

windshield washer fluid???one of the top tuners on the subaru forums runs blue windshield washer fluid (w/out glycol), has been for over a year, and makes tons of power with no ill effects...comments?

Thanks in adavance..come on chemists, show me what you got

I originally used windshield washer fluid then switched to a 50/50 mix of distilled water and methanol which I got from a local shop. I never had a problem with either BUT I can say my EGT's were lower with just the windshield washer fluid.

If you're in a place where the temperature drops pretty low in the winters I believe the windshield washer fluid has more methanol in it, here in Atlanta I could only find brands that were 8% methanol.

I'm running Boost Juice from Snow Performance.

It's a premixed 51% distilled water 49% methanol.

It works perfect

here's the link
