Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!
I am going to start experimenting with the burns for methanol. Toulene can be purchased at paint stores right?
I want to really see which explodes more 'controllably', or rather with less rage behind the explosion.
I am finding that mixing more methanol then water will actually make the engine run a bit smoother and quieter. If you run nothing but water, the engine bogs a little, and it doesn't seem to have a lasting cooling effect.
I haven't risked trying it with pure methanol, as I think its to flamable by itself. Hopefully I'll be able to test enough to see what chemicals might be mixed the best.
My other questions then are, how acidic or basic is toulene?

Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!
Couldn't you use some kind of 2 gallon resivoir so you don't have to refill as often? How long does the fluid in your current resivoir last you? Also, what kind of gains would this have if you DO NOT advance timing?
Anyone else got pics of their setups?

Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!
In the meantime, I just rigged up an intercooler spray system that sprays ice cold water all over the intercooler only when I flip on a switch. It's only good for using on the dragstrip where I can play with it and dump in ice and cold water.. The whole deal cost be $24 bucks... a water res. (1 quart)..., water pump, hoses and nozzles... it really does work, and allows me to bump up the boost and it seems to cut out detonation. I need to tinker with the nozzles some to get it to work to it's best though... I did it just for fun, and it took about 1 hour. When I get it cleaned up, I'll take some pics ... lol
