as above,10% meth in tank, or aquamist 50% meth/50%water? who has what? do they both work?

Both would be good but as pat said to me "if a jet blocks on the aquamist?? " It could be drastic but you know your putting the right amount of methanol in

nutsaboutscoobies

do you guys put methanol in your standardish cars then???

if you put it into a car that has not been mapped for it, it will run lean, and cause you problems

nutsaboutscoobies

so it has to run on it all the time once mapped? is it not expensive and whats the gains??

its only worth doing in extreme cases!! Its not worth it on a lightly modded car

thats what i thought lol

i run 20%methanol 20%toluene 60%vpower,water only aquamist with good results.around 500bhp on standard jdm block.depending on your aquamist system you can wire in a relay that will cut boost to actuator pressure if the jet blocks.

if mapped for methanol then yes has to be used at all times.my last car(my05 wrx)was mapped on vpower only at 340bhp 338lb/ft torque.after map for 10%methanol ran 370bhp/348lb/ft torque.obviously not on standard turbo but using vf34,bigger injectors,front mount etc.depending on how much methanol you buy at a time can be bought for £120 per 205l

scoobaroo on sidc runs methonol all the time although his has been mapped & tweeked about with & he leves me standing its a flame spitting monster. give him a shout he knows all about the stuff

I'm still thinking of adding my aquamist as well but not getting it mapped in

methanol is the way forward

can you run on 100% methonol ?

i think andy f did in his dragcar at one point

Yes, but would require completely new fuel lines etc as 100% neat methanol is relatively 'corrosive' compared to petrol or a petrol/methanol mix

stop being ****** i run 100% meths through my water injection system not had a problem yet, dont no how the aquamist one works but on mine i can set how dense the spray is and what psi i want it to kick in at

paul at zen maps mine on the apexi

They ain't on about 100% meths in the aquamist !!! People are on about either running an Aquamist system or running methanol as a fuel additive say a 10% mix which is basically what mine is at

catalunyadave

yeah but im running pure meths on my uk block which comes in through the i/c and straight into the inlet

But your car still runs on petrol, then the methonal is injected as a booster. So its not running on 100% methonal.

Go back and read my post - especially the bit about fuel lines
