Water Methanol Injection
 

The ingredients on winshield wiper fluid are methanol and distiled water. someone told me that if you take your windshiled sprayer tube, and spray it into your intake, it is somewhat the effects of nitrous. now i know what nitrous does (freezes the air, making so more air can be compacted into the cylinder) but some cars in drag racing used to run off of pure methanol. he said that i would need it to be a mist, so i would have to get a 25shot connection from a nitrous setup and connect it to my intake. will this add horespower???? your opinious are wanted

i dont get it....do you think i can find a fitting at homedepot? because all i need is a fitting that will mist...right? i mean..this is going to be homemade...but this really does work? i mean..i know i have to have a very fine mist, but it will work? i have a 95' integra LS (b18b) ...i/h/e ....how much hp do you think this will add?

Re:Water Methanol Injection
 

All that does is allow you to run more boost or timing and not detinate. It also aloows you to run lower octane gas. It more of a pain in the ass for a driven car. On a racer I would give it a whirl. I was going to set it up just as a project. You have to atomize the water.

i know i have to atomize the water, i just had to find a fixture that will do that, i am sure Home Depot/Menards will have something like that. anyways...will it do much to my N/A car?

Re:Water Methanol Injection
 

nope i doubt it will do anything for a n/a car. the methanol it contains is very little otherwise you would see
flamable warning stickers on the windshield washer bottles.
it's used more in forced induction for it's cooling capabilities. you want the most bang for your buck? install a 50shot of nitrous, that'll put a smile on your face.

treb-nordap.... where are you located?? I could have sworn i saw a civic that looked EXACTLY like yours (not surprising, IT IS a civic) rite outside my building...

Re:Water Methanol Injection
 

i know it doesnt condense the air quit like CO2 or N20 would, but i am not sayin that this will add 100hp...will i see a minor 5-20hp? i mean...that is still a BIG hp for like what...10cents and 15mins of your time....u get the point

Re:Water Methanol Injection
 

Another thing you should consider is how pure is that windshield washer fluid? I wouldn't want to be spraying contaminated blue ---- into my engine...but maybe we see things differently. :P
