Devils own methanol injection - sam - 10-01-2013
Right been looking at these kits for a awhile and speakimg to bruse who runs it in the uk and also talkong about his old 200hp dt still on a lucas pump so my question is what benifts Is there having kit and what kit should I look into is there much point in going for it?
Cheers sam

Does make a good difference, especially on a standard intercooler...
Just water does make a good difference, but you'll really notice it with methanol in the tank... However it does become expensive, it's essentially like adding another fuel to your car!!!
Drops the intake temperatures MASSIVELY in fairness...

Im want to get a kit with a 10.5 litre tank after the 2nd of feb, how does it work? Can you notice it under hard acceleration temp wise?
RE: Devils own methanol injection - Ruan - 11-01-2013
Basically it sprays a fine mist of water and methanol into the intake air, since water has such a high specific heat, it absorbs a massive amount of heat from the air, the methanol goes through phase change to a gas, which also absorbs a massive quantity of heat... Also the methanol is a fuel, so helps with combustion... Even without long pulls, you can feel the difference when it comes on...

Thanks dude

I'm not sure entirely on how it works and just wondering if you have it on all the time or just when you put your foot down?
RE: Devils own methanol injection - samass - 11-01-2013
I'd have it on a switchable system with some sort of controller so it kicks in when you come on boost, that's my thoughts anyway..
RE: Devils own methanol injection - 4WayDiablo - 11-01-2013
Would make sense wouldn't it lol
RE: Devils own methanol injection - samass - 11-01-2013
haha yep, sure does in my head lol
RE: Devils own methanol injection - sam - 11-01-2013
I think you can have something buy your accelerater pedal so you can have it only on full throttle according to bruse
RE: Devils own methanol injection - Ruan - 11-01-2013
Yeah, comes on at a preset boost pressure, don't have it on all the time, causes proper shit running as it cools the combustion too much...
Some have a controller you buy that increases pump duty cycle as the boost increases... If you have a good intercooling system, its not as effective, but for long hard pulls, it keeps inlet and exhaust temps in check.

yep, or that ^^, micro switches and shizz
RE: Devils own methanol injection - Chris_90 - 11-01-2013
Ash23 has one of these kits for sale I belive
RE: Devils own methanol injection - sam - 11-01-2013
I no dude as said not looking at buying one until after the 2nd of feb
