Hybrid water/methanol injection

[David P]

I have been researching water methanol injection for N/A engines, and it would appear to be worth around 10bhp and 2mpg, no info found for torque or w/m consumption.

 

I am looking to install one of these systems on my N/A, but as usual, without forced induction, it is not easy for Cinderella to go to the ball.

The only unit I can find that is capable of progressive delivery for an N/A is an Aquamist kit at around £600!

 

Consequently, I am looking to mix and match to achieve similar results, but without the big number.

 

Tank, could be washer bottle, aftermarket w/m or bespoke, pipes are pipes, filters are filters and low level indicators are found in many OEM washer bottles.

 

Could a Supra fuel pump be used and regulated with an OEM fuel pressure regulator, a fuel injector used for spray delivery, with the AEM ECU providing progressive delivery info to the injector as a percentage of fuel delivered?

 

Would the petrol resistant seals resist methanol?

 

Input welcomed.

Sounds like a lot of work for 10hp

Just get nitrous.

I enjoy the tinkering and the challenge, and these 10bhp's and extra mpg's keep adding up.

 

Should this original idea function, it would be an economic and useful system for turboholics too, surely there must be a member on here with some positive input?

 

I may add nitrous later, yet have other plans first, and enough half finished projects to keep me busy at this time.

Im sure as youve probably researched, theres loads of water meth injection kits available, Ive got one on my new car. And youll know that its really only used on turbo cars to cool the inlet charge.

But by all means crack on, its your money
