Water Methanol Injection

I have heard the same thing....but I'm running 100% methanol in my kit. That was at the advice of my tuner. Him and 6 other cars are also running 100% methanol. The kit I have is from www.alkycontrol.com . Buick guys have been doing this for awhile with no bad results.

Personally, I think the meth is sprayed at such a high psi and when atomized correctly into the a/f mixture there isn't any chance for it to be corrosive inside the combustion chamber.

As far as I know it's only corrosive to certain rubber/plastic parts. I don't think it's a problem with metal. They've been running methanol for a long time at Indy.

Hey Matt,

Lidio tuned my car from Alternative Auto. Just saw that you are in Michigan too. I live out in Clinton Twp about 3 minutes from his shop.

Anyway, the methanol kit was installed end of November. I did get to take the car out about 2 weeks ago on that 55 degree Saturday. The car moves for sure. I took my buddy for a drive and he said the before and after is very noticable. I gained 90+RWHP from 5K-6500 RPM then the power curve starts to drop and I ended up with a peak gain of around 42RWHP. Lidio thought that the heat from the s-trim at the high boost points was the cause of the power dipping since the temps would start to come back up...but no where close to where it would have been without methanol. If the power would have kept going up to redline we would have seen a 100+RWHP difference at 7K. That is with 2.5 lbs more boost plus the methanol injection.

So, so far I'm very happy with the results.
PM me if you want to get into more specifics.
