87590, How many are using water/alcohol injection
Posted by tim96rs, Jul-02-05 09:31 AM
I Made a kit and been running it for about 3 months. I used a 40 psi shurflow pump. A mcmaster mister nozzle and a pressure switch. I'm running 75% alcohol. On a 100 degree day doing 50-60mph at 13 psi of boost with a SMI temps. are about 78-85 degree.

My friend with a JRSC Focus SVT is using a Snow Performance alcohol kit. It makes a huge difference.

Yes it makes a huge diff. I can run more boost on pump gas with alcohol. Than with race gas alone. The air temps. are alot cooler and more timing too.:thumbsup

A guy who does work on my friends truck does a methonal injection and runs it in with a mixture of windsheild washing fluid. I thought it sounded pretty silly, but it works extremely well.

I am considering going in this direction. It's a 114 now here in Vegas because it's summer and no doubt the intake charge temp is hot. I don't like it being hot. Having a an unwrapped turbo makes everything else under the hood feel like it's on fire. ( I seriously need to fabricate a blanket for it!!!)

Where in the intercooler piping section did you install the mister nozzle? Right before the Throttle body, 12 inches away? Where exatly? Also, what was the total cost tally for the project?

Oh and I'd like to view your setup. Could you take a moment of your time to eMail some photos to strong_michael@hotmail.com?

7hanks in advance.

I didn't get around to taking the pic sorry guys. I'll try to take them this weekend. I got put the car back together because of the fuel rail issue. If anyone wants some more details on my homemade setup let me know and I'll post it.

Where are you getting your alchohol? Is it pure 75% (lol) isopropyl alchohol, or are you watering it down?

I'm getting my denatured alcohol from ACE. I'm started only running 10% alcohol because the pump said NO FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS so I don't want a fire. Thinking of using my stock fuel pump with 100% alcohol but 32OZ is $6.00 that will get costly.
