Devilsown Methanol Alcohol Water Injection - View Single Post - First question-When is WI viable?

maxsheldon · 12-02-2007

Air temps in CT are blow freezing right now so I'd imagine numbers would be skewed. No IAT sensor on my car. I may rig something , but not for a while yet. Also not smart enough about cars to understand what you mean by timing pull, or what to look for in cars behavior when this occurs. Kinda newbie at some of this stuff. I do understand W/I and I also realize that as you increase the methanol to water ratio you raise EGT's. Higher octane = higher temps. Hence the 51/49 mix. I am in the process of installing a 3" DP on the on the angled 16T. Have obvious mods to increase air flow, CAI, 2.5" cat back, slightly bigger injectors, no tune yet, Nothing approaching crazy, I'd say. Always humble enough to ask for help, never to old to learn!
