Water/Methanol Injection

[psycobone]

i was just wondering if water/methanol injection would be good on a h22 turbo.it makes the engine much cooler so u can boost more..why no 1 on cb7tuner did it..i am planing on doing it but not sure tho...

any suggestion any 1 thx.

ive considered it and it has been discussed ALOT in the past...

the only problem with running a meth kit is the greater potential of something going wrong. Whether it be a nozzle issue, pump goes out, line is leaking etc; those are all very small mistakes that can cause major damage to an engine that is tuned so lean.

Many of the higher end kits like SNOW try to take care of these things. But in my personal opinion, a big FMIC should run cool enough, and if you really want the power, just get tuned for race gas.

If your car is a strict street car then look into it. It is by no means a bad option/power adder

I was thinkin of doin the same thing but as exr33 said, there are more things that can go wrong with it. Unless your kit is installed flawlessly and tested and checked over time and time again, there is a chance something could go wrong. If its worth the risk to you then go for it. Theres an Evo 8 around here pushin 30 psi on a 35r with pump gas and ethanol injection daily driven. He said that he could crank it up to 36 psi at the track on race fuel. Oh btw its pushin 582 AWHP and 481 AWTQ. Hows that for a daily driver? Lodollar would know lol

Heres a link the evo 8........or should i say the Evilution lol

Also I'm not sure if anyone here has had any experience tuning with water/meth injection?
As 91exr33 said, Big FMIC should do enough cooling, and then you could always add a IC water sprayer, Or Co2 spray across the face of it for extra cooling.

also i know that when you tune with methanol stoic is like 14.3 where as it would normally be around 11.8-12. so 14.3 is WAY lean so if somethin happens with the methanol. Say bye bye to your motor

[gdout90accord]

this is my next project to do, water/meth injection you only tune the portion of the map when you start spraying meth/water and most kits comes with this light that tells you its working or not when you get on it, for example if the nozzle is spraying or not or the pump goes out

hey i see you changed ur sig.....i like it lol. I cant believe you can drive with your bumper/lip that close to the ground.

haha its already cracked up, im looking for a new lip

so it would be better to run on fuel race then water/metho injection??fuel race much more rich less change of leaning out and blowing my engine...cuz whit both u can boost more so bascially 1 is safer then the other 1 and it does almost the same job. right?

and also what if i am tuned rich...whit water/metho i would be on the safe side for more boost no?

Water/methanol injection is pretty reliable. Having a pump or something fail probably wouldn't be nearly as bad as having an injector fail under full boost. And like it was mentioned before, they usually come with a light to let you know when the system is active. It's just another safeguard, same as running higher octane fuel, but cheaper if the car is daily driven and pushing the detonation threshold of pump gas.

Most people only use at the track when they really want to crank up the boost, but I know a lot of EVO and Sti owners that swear by it in their daily drivers, especially here in Vegas on 100°+ days.
