ok thanks...im running a 2.9 on 42s with a heat exchanger, intake, custom tune, and nitrous

the tune i believe is going really lean on me, but i know its not the injectors because of me only runnin 16 psi

how much do you thinki would gain once i put a 2.7 60 lbs, and a new custom tune to balance the a/f ratio

if you're letting the car idle after a hard run, they will do this. if you shut it off rigth after you get off the throttle. let it cool a bit, then read the plugs. you will get the answer you're looking for.

then again, im lazy and just watch the wideband for anything funky

Was this tuned by a shop or did you have someone else tune it? How lean does your A/F get?

Once tuned properly with what you have your looking at a 15-20 horsepower gain when you switch over to the 2.7" pulley. With where you live you shouldn't have a problem finding a shop to provide you with dyno tuning.

What your not going to feel is the added safety a water methanol injection system is going to add to your engine. This is particularly important with you running a shot of nitrous. This will help stabilize the combustion process slowing down the flame propagation when both on and off nitrous helping to reduce detonation and keeping the tops of your pistons and upper rings cooler.

depends on how you mix it.

meth has a corrosive property to it, also has a low flash point. clear fire is not fun. when mixed with water it takes the flash point an raises it, and the corrosivness of it is not much to worry about.

You can look up the msds by getting on the manufactures website and then doing a search for msds. Most neg 20 washer fluilds are 20-30% methanol.

Methanol can eat at some materials, This is why its important to use parts in the systems that are compatible. You would be surprised but there are methanol kit manufactures that use parts in the systems that are not compatible. It blows my mind. Alum can have issues it its under constant contact. People have it alum anodize commonly to protect it from chemicals. Then with Brass Compatibility's It should not be used unless its nickel coated. Some places charge you extra to get parts that are compatible with the intended use. I highly recommend to stay away from bare brass.

This should help. I put this together to make it easier to know how much methanol is contained in the various types of windshield wiper fluids. Depending on the brand the percentages may fluctuate by 1-3%.

Wind Shield Wiper Fluid Rating:

+32 Degrees Fahrenheit Rating - Contains Approx. 1% Methanol/99% Water
+20 Degrees Fahrenheit Rating - Contains Approx. 10% Methanol/90% Water
0 Degrees Fahrenheit Rating - Contains Approx. 23% Methanol/77% Water
-10 Degrees Fahrenheit Rating - Contains Approx. 20% Methanol/72% Water
-20 Degrees Fahrenheit Rating - Contains Approx. 33% Methanol/67% Water
-25 Degrees Fahrenheit Rating - Contains Approx. 35% Methanol/65% Water
-32 Degrees Fahrenheit Rating - Contains Approx. 38% Methanol/62% Water
-50 Degrees Fahrenheit Rating - Contains Approx. 62% Methanol/38% Water

Last edited by AIS; 12-02-2007 at 12:51 AM. Reason: We stand corrected as there is generally a 1-3% variance in methanol content per brand, not 1-2% as we originally posted.

most of your fluid that is below -20 has some form of deicer in it as well. pay close attention to it before you stick it in the car.

Not trying to pick on you just trying to better educate you on the product you sell. There is no clear cut methanol ratio for any washer fluid. General the cheap store brands have more methanol. Anything over 40% usually always contains glycol which is a no no for methanol injection. But there are some out there are some -40 that only have meth and water.
from brand to brand meth content can vary very widely 1-2% to 50%

This is the important part of a msds

Please explain what a de-icer is and why you shouldn't run it?

Propylene glycol, Diethylene glycol, Ethylene glycol. pick one!


all have similar make ups, just do slightly different things. glycol is used in antifreeze to lower the freezing point of water below 31 degree's. some forms of glycol are used in moisturizers, makeup, smoke machines, and base for de-icing fluids for air planes.
or used as a "anti boil" so to speak.

why is this bad? it doesn't burn well. methonal and alcohol have a low flash point in terms of what temperatures will cause it to burn. which is why i don't run straight meth. clear fire is not fun. the basis behind glycol is to transfer heat, or to remove water vapor. depends on the form, and it's intention.


im sure im way off. it's ok



p.s. this is off the top of my head

Rodney,
You can try to mock me all you want but the fact is being an alcohol injection dealer you should have a basic understanding of how alcohol injection system work, Chemical compatibility, used parts etc.
If you don't know the answer to something its usually best to not post than make something up

Nomax seals I have seen you post this on other forums. I just didn't correct you.

You should know but the answer. But to help catch you up.
1. Because the chemicals commonly used are not good for the seals in the pump.
2. Not good for your engine either.

it also does wierd **** to cylinder walls and bearings. not very engine friendly at all.

so green or red stuff going into combustion chamber, it doesn't combust cleanly, could sludge up the pump, nozzle and bad things will happen. don't use it. period.
