Just google "Toluene F1" or go to the water injection thread and find out how to make a pretty simple jet set-up, the guy used expensive fittings and ---- but it can be done for cheaper.

If you are running straight toluene I'd recommend an external fuel cell.

so you spray it in? you dont mix it with your fuel?

You can, but hardware grade needs to be dried and decanted before you can run it, it has bad solvents added into it, or water.

How does one control the accurate injection of water meth under boost? what i am trying to say is that. i have seen ghetto setups that just come on and Off now tuning that with regards to your boost is easy. but how can i have my Water meth progressivly added?

Run a pintle type nozzle with a variable resistor to your Water/Meth pump, resistor being hooked up to the throttle body rotator-ma-jig.
Maybe solenoids that control flow to multiple jets?

---- man I don't know, get ------- creative.

The way I'm going to rig mine is with a micro switch at 75% throttle, just kick the pump on and off.

you could, but usually you wouldnt. think of it as a really high dose high effectiveness octane booster. 30% with 93aki is enough for some good power from virtually any engine with a good bar of boost on top. i drove on it at about 50% before i topped up with gas and it started and ran normally, just had a silly high octane rating...

I have the progressive kit that up the amount of injection per boost,
and my friend is using a input on the hondata s300 to control his.

Boost dependent fpr and a system with a return line?

You Ozzies must have some nicer gas than us in the states, I've put a bit in a gallon jug to mix for the old boosted Jetta we had, all the impurities and garbage and grossness settled to the bottom, the top was a good mixture though, octane should've been up there.

I'm sure it's a better way than those little capsules. :-X
