I've heard of people using a 70/30 mix of water/methanol with no problems. The kit works great.
I'm running the WI kit atm, but soon I won't need it.... [img]wink.gif[/img]
Don't know about methanol, but I've always run 50/50 alcohol/water with no problems. The kit works great, easy to install, etc. Not necessary at stock boost, but at 9 psi or above, I think it's a good safeguard and potential power adder when tuned right.
You could use isopropyl, but I use denatured alcohol. Straight water is also effective. I've used the alchol hoping it helps some to make up for the 91 octane we get here. http://www.hostboard.com/forums/
Oops.... I meant a water/alcohol mix. Maybe I should refrain from posting after working a 12 hour shift [img]redface.gif[/img]
hehe
Methanol is corrosive to Aluminum... and it eats rubber and plastic hoses. I suggest staying away from it unless you are willing to empty the resevoir EVERY time you park the car !!!
So if not methanol, what kind of alcohol do you use? Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol?
BoostedEX, why won't you need it anymore? Are you going to use a different method of intercooling? Are you looking for a buyer? [img]wink.gif[/img]
Has anyone used water injection to increase timing beyond stock (ie. past 16 degrees)? Is there any benefit to this?
hell yeah, not sure off hand what my ignition map looks like now with my new hondata tune but its definitly pretty agressive. As for before the hondata was tuned, i could run full advance on the distributor without a single ping. Just be careful though and keep an eye on the bottle because as soon as it went empty my car would start to knock.
BXSI, what is your distributor timing set to?
I SECOND what BXSI said about watching the bottle.
I recently installed the Snow Performance kit and with straight alcohol, the car will not ping what so ever. As soon as that bottle ran out...I would start to hear a slight ping. This tells me that my Hondata was tuned very aggressively without the water injection. This is probably why I am making 252 horsepower on a dynapack.
Anyhow, it would be interesting to see how much more horsepower I can extract..... as soon as I can save up some cash, I will head back to the Dyno.

Anyone know where to buy the cheapest one? Isn't it cheaper to buy an aquamist one then the jr? Aren't they the same item but jr's is just rebadged as a jr product?

Bryan good to see you finally got that snow performance kit up and running. nice numbers you made as well.
217gsr my distributor is at full advance, but i have a hondata so it may be retarded some places along the revband as well. But before the hondata was tuned and with the alky injection and 440cc injectors i was also running full advance on the distributor.
How many degrees advanced is full distributor advance?
How many degrees advanced is full distributor advance?
i'm not positive, but i think it's somewhere around 21 degrees or so.
I am running 18 degrees advance with 50/50 alcohol/water and Hondata tuned.
